TCP/IP stack recommendations

[Morten Brørup]

Hi all.

Can anyone in here recommend an actively maintained open source TCP/IP stack for DPDK?


Med venlig hilsen / Kind regards,

One key thing to look for is the interface between the stack and the application. If it is not zero-copy, it quickly becomes a bottleneck depending on the data size and the buffer size.

Thanks,
Honnappa

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?

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
