In article #005 you learned how RARE/freeRouter is controlling a P4Emu/pcap dataplane. We also demonstrated that this setup could be integrated into real networks.

Overview
Though P4Emu/pcap can be used for SOHO and can handle nx1GE of traffic, this comes at a high CPU load cost and thus a higher power consumption.
...
In this article we'll using freeRouter setup deployed in #005 and replace P4Emu/pcap's dataplane and replace it by P4Emu/dpdkdpdk dataplane.

The Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) is an Open source software project managed by the Linux Foundation. It provides a set of data plane libraries and network interface controller polling-mode drivers for offloading TCP packet processing from the operating system kernel to processes running in user space. This offloading achieves higher computing efficiency and higher packet throughput than is possible using the interrupt-driven processing provided in the kernel. |
