Hi Vincent, Sincere thanks to you for the email ! This is very helpful. I think I'll go with Rump kernel stack to start with, and might think about the other options later. Regards, -Sujith On 17/09/13 2:01 AM, "Vincent JARDIN" [off-list ref] wrote:
Hi Sujith, NetBSD/Rump is the only open source TCP/IP stack for DPDK. Some people may have tried to port LwIP too. As far as we know, only 6WIND has a robust and fully compliant stack which provides socket APIs to the applications on top of the DPDK. I'd be pleased to get a list of options for the DPDK too: - Rump/NetBSD thanks to Antti - maybe LwIP TBC - 6WINDGate's fast path TCP/IP stack and to list them on dpdk.org. My 2 cents, Vincentquoted
Hi all, I'm new to DPDK and this group. In order to try out some of my applications on DPDK, I'd like to know a little bit about the options that are there for protocol processing. Could someone give info about the TCP/IP stacks that could be used with DPDK libraries and applications? Quick googling gave a few names (6Wind, rump kernel tcp/ip stack, etc). But some wise words from the group could go a long way in helping me out. Thanks in advance ! -Sujith
