You can taste the rush. The dough hadn't risen.
Summary
F-Stack is a high-performance network framework based on DPDK (Data Plane Development Kit) that addresses the bottleneck of Linux kernel packet processing. It implements kernel bypass technology where Linux handles control flow while all data streams are processed in user space, enabling significantly higher network performance. The framework is designed to meet the demands of modern internet applications that require efficient network processing capabilities.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledWith the rapid development of NIC, the poor performance of data packets processing with Linux kernel has become the bottleneck.
The main idea of kernel bypass is that Linux is only used to deal with control flow, all data streams are processed in user space.
There are various similar technologies appear, such as DPDK, NETMAP and PF_RING.
The rapid development of the Internet needs high performance of network processing, kernel bypass has caught more and more attention.
