A few years ago, Intel released its Data Plane Development Kit (Intel® DPDK) software. The DPDK library is provided to OEMs under a BSD licensing model, enabling the design of high performance networking software based on either pipelined or run-to-completion architectures. It runs in Linux userspace, providing optimizations for Intel® architecture platforms such as data plane libraries, optimized NIC drivers (queue and buffer management, packet flow, classification, Read More »

Since the inception of the Internet, the networking industry has relied on the same business model. Today’s networking equipment and appliances are still characterized by proprietary, vertically integrated software running on dedicated hardware. Equipment provided by major vendors includes custom silicon for efficient packet processing, a custom Operating System and custom applications (from switches to L4-L7 software). Increasingly, however, the new generation Read More »

Quality of Service (QoS) is a basic foundation for enabling the “network monetization” that represents such a critical challenge for both service providers and carriers.
Within networking equipment, the first, critical step in the QoS process involves the identification of multiple traffic classes, typically known as traffic classification (and a future post will explain how 6WIND’s software accelerates this function).
Once the identification Read More »
