Accelerating Ethernet Performance and Throughput with Intel® DPDK

Enterprise and industrial network management have been undergoing from a hardware-concentrated approach to a more agile, flexible and consolidating solution for the rapid growing challenges in ownership cost due to the rising workload by cloud computing and information security. Traditionally, companies invested large amount of capital in discrete, physical machines to meet the workload demand, but nowadays, with the unprecedented growth in the amount of network traffic, it is more practical to rely on software approaches to balance workload and cost, while improving packet processing performance on a single platform. This is made possible by Intel DPDK (Data Plane Development Kit), as long as the platforms are built with Intel processors.
