Our group is responsible for providing and maintaining middleware software for our applications team. We have Linux boxes (x86_64 machines running Linux) and have DPDK supported Intel NIC cards (I had a quick look at the DPDK website and fortunately, we have such NICs in our Linux boxes). I am fairly new to the entire fast network packet processing domain, hence, I'm wondering : 1: if DPDK is something that our team can utilize for providing a faster networking platform, which the applications team (say teams that use standard unix networking interface to develop software) can use ? or DPDK is relevant mostly for companies that build Core Networking Hardware and Software products ? 2: If mine is indeed a valid use case for DPDK usage, then how big could be the impact on the existing software ? Thank you for your help. Thanks, Amit --=20 Sent from Bahamas, while drinking chi-chi and pi=C3=B1a colada.
