In a world where the network is fundamental to the way people communicate, performance, throughput, and latency are mission critical for applications like wireless core and access, wireline infrastructure, routers, load balancers, firewalls, video streaming, VoIP, and more.
DPDK (Data Plane Development Kit) offers an extensive open-source framework designed to enhance packet processing speeds across various CPU architectures, including Intel x86, ARM, and PowerPC. Its primary advantage lies in facilitating the rapid development of high-speed data packet networking applications.
By running DPDK, new users can significantly accelerate their network applications’ performance due to its efficient run-to-completion model and optimized libraries that ensure all necessary resources are allocated upfront.
