Packet processing offloads are increasingly needed by high-speed networks. This paper proposes a high throughput, low latency, scalable and reconfigurable Match-Action Table (MAT) architecture based on the open source FPGA-based NIC Corundum. The flexibility and capability of this scheme is demonstrated by an example implementation of IP layer forwarding offload. It makes the NIC work as a router that can forward packets for different subnet and virtual local area networks (VLAN). Experiments are performed on a Zynq MPSoC device with two QSFPs and the results show that it can work at line rate of 8 × 25 Gbps (200 Gbps), within a maximum latency of 76 nanoseconds. In addition, a high-performance MAT pipeline with full-featured, resource-efficient TCAM and a compact frame merging deparser are presented.
