[dpdk-dev] TCP/IP stack - options

[Wiles, Roger Keith]

Hi Sujith,

Wind River also has a fully integrated TCP/IP stack with network acceleration using DPKD with INP/AAE product. A few have ported lwIP to DPDK, but these stacks are not fully integrated into the whole system meaning the Linux host (at least I do not know of anyone that does).

Wind River's INP product is a complete TCP/IP stack with many more features and protocols backed by the largest embedded development company in the world. We also have a very close relationship with Intel (as we are wholly owned subsidiary of Intel)

We have a patent pending socket layer acceleration design and many more features.

Hi Vincent,

Sincere thanks to you for the email !  This is very helpful.
I think I'll go with Rump kernel stack to start with, and might think
about the other options later.

Hi Sujith,

NetBSD/Rump is the only open source TCP/IP stack for DPDK. Some people
may have tried to port LwIP too. As far as we know, only 6WIND has a
robust and fully compliant stack which provides socket APIs to the
applications on top of the DPDK. I'd be pleased to get a list of options
for the DPDK too:
 - Rump/NetBSD thanks to Antti
 - maybe LwIP TBC
 - 6WINDGate's fast path TCP/IP stack
and to list them on dpdk.org<http://dpdk.org>.

My 2 cents,
 Vincent

Hi all,

I'm new to DPDK and this group.

In order to try out some of my applications on DPDK, I'd like to know a
little bit about the options that are there for protocol processing.
Could someone give info about the TCP/IP stacks that could be used with
DPDK libraries and applications?  Quick googling gave a few names
(6Wind,
rump kernel tcp/ip stack, etc).  But some wise words from the group
could
go a long way in helping me out.

Thanks in advance !
