I wasn't aware of VPP having a host stack so would certainly be interested to hear more on it.

We are doing some work with TLDK (https://wiki.fd.io/view/TLDK) as a userspace stack.

The other stacks I am aware (existence only, haven't explored/evaluated) of are ANS (https://github.com/ansyun/dpdk-ans), mTCP (https://github.com/mtcp-stack/mtcp), f-stack (https://github.com/F-Stack/f-stack), and seastar (https://github.com/scylladb/seastar). There are probably others out there too.

Cheers

Hi Florin,

Ray Kinsella sent me in your direction...

I'm looking for recommendations (and warnings) regarding open source TCP/IP stacks for DPDK. Seeing that you are deeply involved in the FD.io VPP Host Stack, I hope you are willing to share some thoughts on the topic?
