%** Results.tex: What were the results achieved including an evaluation
%
This section describes the achieved results and compares the P4 based
implementation with real world software solutions.
We distinguish the software implementation of P4 (BMV2) and the
hardware implementation (NetFPGA) due to significant differences in
deployment and development. We present benchmarks for the existing
software solutions as well as for our hardware implementation. As the
objective of this thesis was to demonstrate the high speed
capabilities of NAT64 in hardware, no benchmarks were performed on the
P4 software implementation.
% ----------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{\label{results:p4}NAT64 Overview}
We successfully implemented P4 code to realise
NAT64\cite{schottelius:thesisrepo}. It contains parsers
for all related protocols (ipv6, ipv4, udp, tcp, icmp, icmp6, ndp,
arp), supports EAMT as defined by RFC7757 \cite{rfc7757} and is
feature equivalent to the two compared software solutions
tayga\cite{lutchansky:_tayga_simpl_nat64_linux} and
jool\cite{mexico:_jool_open_sourc_siit_nat64_linux}.
Due to limitations in the P4 environment of the
NetFPGA\cite{conclusion:netfpga} environment, the BMV2 implementation
is more feature rich. Table \ref{tab:benchmark} summarises the
achieved bandwidths of the NAT64 solutions.

\section{\label{Results:BMV2}BMV2}
The software implementation of P4 features most features, which is
mostly due to available externs that can checksum the payload: Acting
as a ``proper'' participant in NDP, requires the host to calculate
checksums over the payload.
Responds to icmp, icmp6
ndp \cite{rfc4861}
arp
test framework openvswitch
Fully functional host
Can compute checksums on its own.
focus on typical use cases of icmp, icmp6, the software implementation
supports translating echo request and echo reply messages, but does
not support all ICMP/ICMP6 translations that are defined in
RFC6145\cite{rfc6145}.

General result: limited NAT64 is working, however
No Payload
checksumming - requires controller
Hash funktion in Arbeit
No NDP, no ARP - focused on key factors of NAT64 translation,
other features can be supported by controller
