Overview
|
||
|
|
^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One of the benefits of FD.io VPP, is high performance on relatively low-power computing, this performance is based on the following features:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A high-performance user-space network stack designed for commodity hardware.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- L2, L3 and L4 features and encapsulations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Optimized packet interfaces supporting a multitude of use cases.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- An integrated vhost-user backend for high speed VM-to-VM connectivity.
|
||
|
|
- An integrated memif container backend for high speed Container-to-Container connectivity.
|
||
|
|
- An integrated vhost based interface to punt packets to the Linux Kernel.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The same optimized code-paths run execute on the host, and inside VMs and Linux containers.
|
||
|
|
* Leverages best-of-breed open source driver technology: `DPDK <https://www.dpdk.org/>`_.
|
||
|
|
* Tested at scale; linear core scaling, tested with millions of flows and mac addresses.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These features have been designed to take full advantage of common micro-processor optimization techniques, such as:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Reducing cache and TLS misses by processing packets in vectors.
|
||
|
|
* Realizing `IPC <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_cycle>`_ gains with vector instructions such as: SSE, AVX and NEON.
|
||
|
|
* Eliminating mode switching, context switches and blocking, to always be doing useful work.
|
||
|
|
* Cache-lined aliged buffers for cache and memory efficiency.
