What is DPDK?
DPDK (Data Plane Development Kit) is a set of libraries and drivers for fast packet processing in user space. It allows applications to bypass the kernel's network stack, significantly improving packet processing performance. It's commonly used in network appliances, NFV (Network Functions Virtualization), and high-performance networking applications to accelerate data plane operations like packet forwarding, routing, and security.
What other technologies are related to DPDK?
DPDK Competitor Technologies
VPP
VPP (Vector Packet Processing) is a user-space networking stack that, like DPDK, provides fast packet processing capabilities. Both are used to accelerate network applications, and provide alternatives for certain use cases. While VPP can utilize DPDK, they also provide their own drivers and frameworks, making them alternatives.
XDP
XDP (eXpress Data Path) provides a way to execute custom code at the earliest possible point in the kernel network processing pipeline. It offers an alternative to DPDK for high-performance packet processing, although it operates in the kernel.
eBPF
eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) allows running sandboxed programs in the Linux kernel. It competes with DPDK by providing another way to perform high performance packet processing but inside of the Linux kernel.
Netmap
No summary available
Netmap is a framework for fast packet I/O. It offers an alternative to DPDK, providing a different approach to achieving high-performance packet processing.
ODP
ODP (OpenDataPlane) is an open source API for packet processing. ODP provides an alternative API to DPDK for developing packet processing applications.
Linux networking
The standard Linux networking stack is often bypassed by DPDK for performance reasons. DPDK offers a faster, user-space alternative for packet processing.
DPDK Complementary Technologies
OVS
Open vSwitch (OVS) can leverage DPDK to accelerate its packet processing. DPDK provides the data plane acceleration for OVS.
SR-IOV
SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization) allows virtual machines to directly access physical network devices. DPDK can be used with SR-IOV to further accelerate packet processing within the VM.
