本論文實現SDN硬體加速交換器，採用Xilinx ZC706開發平台搭配4埠乙太網路擴充，ZC706平台最大特色在於整合嵌入式處理器與現場可程式化的閘陣列硬體(Filed Programmable Gate Array, FPGA)，透過軟硬體共同設計方式結合軟體與硬體的優點，達到低功耗高效能模式。本論文所設計方式，主要採用FPGA硬體可針對特定的網路環境，實現指定需求的網路效能 ，而軟體方面，使用嵌入式處理器處理交換器與SDN中央控制器溝通，能有效減少功率消耗過高問題。

In this paper, primarily for the design is implement of hardware acceleration switch. Experimental environment is based on the Xilinx ZC706 development platform and 4-port Ethernet expansion card. ZC706 platform feature is integration of embedded processors and field programmable gate array hardware array (FPGA). It is combines the advantages of software and hardware. Through software and hardware co-design approach to achieve low-power and high-performance. In this paper, the design approach, the main use of FPGA hardware can be for a specific network environment, network performance to achieve the specified requirements, and software, the use of an embedded processor switches to communicate with the central controller SDN, can effectively reduce power high consumption problem.
