Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Recently, the virtualization of network functions, or NFV, becomes common. And libraries to implement high performance data plane by software such as DPDK (Data Plane Development Kit) are widely used. However, many CPU-cores are needed to be assign to the software virtual switch or router in order to achieve high performance of packet forwarding. It results the shortage of CPU-cores that are for other VNFs (Virtual Network Function) or application software. We have been working on offloading network essential functions (forwarding, switching and routing) into FPGAs to solve this issue. In this paper, we present our newest work on offloading where Tungsten Fabric vRouter are offloaded into an FPGA. That vRouter are widely used in cloud platform to enable distributed routings. As results, we have achieved high performance of packet forwarding with only one-CPU-core, and the performance is equivalent to DPDK-based software vRouter using 60-CPU-cores. It also achieved lower jitter in latency than the software vRouter.
