The Intel(R) Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Intel DPDK is a set of software libraries to enable packet processing. It
|
||
|
|
consists of a set of polling mode drivers (PMD) which can be used to pull
|
||
|
|
network packets directly from a Network Interface Card (NIC), as well as
|
||
|
|
other libraries to assist in the processing of those packets. The additional
|
||
|
|
libraries include ones for:
|
||
|
|
* memory and buffer management
|
||
|
|
* packet classification
|
||
|
|
* software rings or FIFOs to allow packet transfer between cores
|
||
|
|
amongst others.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Applications written using the DPDK run in userspace. The devices used by an
|
||
|
|
Intel DPDK application are removed from kernel control and are instead managed
|
||
|
|
directly by that application.
