Thanks for the reply. Philip Loenneker <Philip.Loenneker () tasmanet com au> writes:
Take a look at the Mellanox ConnectX 5 series of cards. They handle DPDK, PVRDMA (basically SR-IOV that allows live migration between hosts), and can even process packets within the NIC for some
From what I can tell, SR-IOV/PVRDMA aren't really useful for me in
building a router that wont be doing any virtualization. If the card can do DPDK, can it do XDP?
The slidedeck for the presentation is here: https://www.ausnog.net/sites/default/files/ausnog-2019/presentations/1.9_Rhod_Brown_AusNOG2019.pdf It's heavily targeting virtualised workloads but some of the feature sets apply to bare-metal uses too.
Yeah, this wont be a virtualized environment, just a router passing packets, dropping them, handling bgp and collecting flows. -- micah
