SwiNOG#37 | Evolution of DPDK Controlplanes | Pim van Pelt | IPng Networks
Title: Evolution of DPDK Controlplanes
Presenter: Pim van Pelt
Abstract: Pim van Pelt is known for SixXS, a global IPv6 tunnelbroker which ran from 2001-2017. In this journey, he found that kernel routing at scale (many interfaces, many prefixes or many packets/sec) were better handled in userspace than server kernels (either FreeBSD or Linux). Today, Pim operates IPng Networks, a small network using software-based routers which will give silicon-based routers a run for their money. In this talk, we will explore Intel's DataPlane Development Kit (https://dpdk.org), open source dataplane solutions such as VPP (https://fd.io), DANOS (https://danosproject.org), DPDK based loadtesting (https://trex-tgn.cisco.com) and discuss performance benchmarking results from the field.
