Hacking NetCOPE to Run on NetFPGA-10G

In this paper, we report on our exercise to port our development framework, called NetCOPE, on NetFPGA-10G card which comes with no software or gateware support so far. The NetCOPE is a configurable gateware and software environment which enables rapid development of net work applications on the FPGA acceleration boards. Originally, it was developed by CESNET for COMBO cards but since both cards share much in common porting it should be relatively easy. NetFPGA with NetCOPE can be immediately used as a high-speed packet capture NIC and extended with already available applications´ cores such as packet classification, network monitoring center, flow metering, packet generator and others.
