DPDK or Data Plane Development Kit is an open-source software framework that enables the efficient packet processing of network applications in user space. It provides a set of libraries and drivers for fast packet processing on multi-core processors.
UDP or User Datagram Protocol is one of the core protocols of the Internet protocol suite. It is a connectionless protocol that does not guarantee reliable delivery of data, but it is faster than TCP as there is no overhead for establishing or maintaining a connection.
When DPDK is used with UDP, it can provide fast and efficient packet forwarding and processing capabilities for real-time applications such as video streaming and online gaming. DPDK-enabled applications can handle large volumes of UDP packets without any delay or loss, making it ideal for high-speed networking environments.
