DPDK (Data Plane Development Kit) is a set of libraries and drivers that provide a framework for fast packet processing in networking applications. It allows applications to bypass the kernel and directly access hardware resources, enabling high-performance packet processing.
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a protocol used for reliable transmission of data over networks. It provides a connection-oriented, reliable, and ordered delivery of data between two endpoints. TCP is widely used in many applications such as web browsing, file transfer, and email.
DPDK can be used to accelerate TCP packet processing by providing optimized libraries and drivers for TCP/IP stack. The DPDK TCP stack uses a user-space implementation of the TCP protocol, which enables faster processing of packets compared to traditional kernel-based TCP stacks. This results in improved throughput and latency in networking applications.
