DPDK stands for Data Plane Development Kit. It is a set of libraries and drivers that enable fast packet processing on Intel processors. DPDK allows applications to bypass the operating system kernel and directly access network hardware, which can significantly improve performance.
DPDK provides a framework for developing high-performance networking applications, such as routers, switches, load balancers, and firewalls. It includes drivers for Intel Ethernet controllers, as well as libraries for packet processing, memory management, and other common networking tasks.
DPDK is open-source software and is used by many companies and organizations in their networking products and services. Some of the benefits of using DPDK include faster packet processing, reduced latency, improved throughput, and better control over network traffic.
