My question is DPDK related, but more a Hardware one. Please tell me if this is the wrong list ! I try to find the cheapest low end Hardware for a DPDK test application. My criteria are: - at least a dual core CPU, better quad core ( one dedicated CPU for non DPDK, all other for DPDK ) - at least 2 DPDK interfaces - as small as possible I have found 2 solutions up to now: - http://www.lex.com.tw/products/BLADE.html - http://www.lannerinc.com/products/network-appliances/x86-desktop-network-appliances/nca-1010 However, they are relatively expensive compared to a system like: rasberry PI or UP ( http://www.up-board.org/ ). Does anyone know other inexpensive HW that has at least 2x DPDK compatible NICs ? regards, Klaus
