Since then= we've been doing more detailed planning and would like to provide an updat= e on the features that we plan to submit for this release. This is our curr= ent plan, which should hopefully remain fairly stable now: Consistent Filter API: Add support for the Consistent Filter API (see http:= //dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2016-September/047924.html) for IGB, IXGBE and I= 40E. Elastic Flow Distributor: The Elastic Flow Distributor (EFD) is a flow-base= d load balancing library which scales linearly for both lookup and insert w= ith the number of threads or cores. EFD lookup uses a "perfect hashing" sc= heme where only the information needed to compute a key's value (and not th= e key itself) is stored in the lookup table, thus reducing CPU cache storag= e requirements.=20 Extended Stats (Latency and Bit Rate Statistics): Enhance the Extended NIC = Stats (Xstats) implementation to support the collection and reporting of la= tency and bit rate measurements. Latency statistics will include min, max a= nd average latency, and jitter. Bit rate statistics will include peak and a= verage bit rate aggregated over a user-defined time period. This will be im= plemented for IXGBE and I40E. Run-Time Configuration of Packet Type (PTYPE) for I40E: At the moment all p= acket types in DPDK are statically defined. This makes impossible to add ne= w values without first defining them statically and then recompiling DPDK. = The ability to configure packet types at run time will be added for I40E. Packet Distributor Enhancements: Enhancements will be made to the Packet Di= stributor library to improve performance: 1. Introduce burst functionality to allow batches of packets to be sent to = workers. 2. Improve the performance of the flow/core affinity through the use of SSE= /AVX instructions. Add MACsec for IXGBE: MACsec support will be added for IXGBE. Ethdev API pr= imitives will be added to create/delete/enable/disable SC/SA, Next_PN etc. = similar to those used in Linux for the macsec_ops. Sample apps (l3fwd, test= pmd, etc.) will be updated to support MACsec for the IXGBE.=20 Enhance AESNI_GCM PMD: The current AESNI_GCM PMD is limited to AES-128 and = does not support other features such as "any AAD length value". It will be = updated to use a newer GCM implementation supporting AES128/192/256 and oth= er features. Create Crypto Performance Test App: A new app, similar to testpmd, will be = created to allow crypto performance to be tested using any crypto PMD and a= ny supported crypto algorithm. Enable Cipher-Only and Hash-Only Support in AESNI_MB PMD: Support will be a= dded for cipher-only and hash-only operations in the AESNI_MB PMD. Support Chained Mbufs in Cryptodev: Currently, an application using the cry= ptodev API needs to reserve a continuous block of memory for mbufs. Support= will be added for chaining of mbufs in both the QAT and SW PMDs supported = by cryptodev. Optimize Vhost-User Performance for Large Packets: A new memory copy functi= on optimized for core-to-core memory copy which will be added. This will be= beneficial for virtualization cases involving large packets, but it can be= used for other core-to-core cases as well. Support New Device Types in Vhost-User: Support will be added to vhost-user= for new device types including vhost-scsi and vhost-blk. Interrupt Mode Support in Virtio PMD: Support for interrupt mode will be ad= ded to the virtio PMD. Virtio-User as an Alternative Exception Path: Investigate the use of virtio= -user and vhost-net as an alternative exception path to KNI that does not r= equire out of tree drivers. This work is still at an experimental stage, so= it may not be included in 17.02. > -----Original Message----- > From: dev [mailto:dev-bounces@dpdk.org] On Behalf Of O'Driscoll, Tim > Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2016 11:32 AM > To: dev@dpdk.org > Subject: [dpdk-dev] 17.02 Roadmap >=20 > Below are the features that we're planning to submit for the 17.02 > release.
