Every time i dig into linux internals, networking, dpdk and eBPF I see this video in recommendations.

This is a really nice overview - covers a lot of packet processing ground in just 30 min. Thank you for doing this!

[danisfermi]

Awesome explanation. Crisp and concise

[tisguim]

Thank you for sharing your experience about these technologies!

[anpcontent]

Unpacked a lot in 30 min! Very instructive, clearly articulated.

[lmamakos]

Very nice top-level summary, nice work and thanks for taking the time to share this.

[LampJustin]

Wow great! Finally an easy to understand comparison between all of them ^^

Well structured and informative preso.

[AmanDeepSingh-xeof]

Opening slide got me confused with BFP. Thought some new term :)

[praveensimpi]

Can you paste all links in description or link for presentation ?

[mubashirhasan]

what does Andre mean by "flow" here in the slides? is it like TCP flow?

[raconteurhermit]

DPDK seems good fit for Cloud use cases where multiple VMs need to be hosted on same physical host and networking between VMs seems to gain (and rest of Kernel layer is done by GuestOS so no major drawback of losing NIC visibility on physical Host).More interesting videos on similar topic

In your opinion, what router is closest to this technology? Aka fastest packet processing? NETGEAR, ASUS, TPLINK, DLINK, LINKSYS, XIAOMI. What the absolute best possible company for gaming? For gigabit lines looking for faster packet processing. Not necessary latency or throughout. Just looking for the router brand that produced packets the fastest.
