Network Stack Features
This section describes a little about the FD.io network stack and describes some benefits:
Layer 2 - 4 Network Stack
Fast lookup tables for routes, bridge entries
Arbitrary n-tuple classifiers
Control Plane, Traffic Management and Overlays
-
Support for standard Operating System Interfaces such as AF_Packet, Tun/Tap & Netmap.
Network and cryptographic hardware support with DPDK.
Container and Virtualization support
Para-virtualized interfaces; Vhost and Virtio
Network Adapters over PCI passthrough
Native container interfaces; MemIF
Host Stack
Universal Data Plane: one code base, for many use cases
The same binary package for all use cases.
Out of the box production quality, with thanks to CSIT.
