DPDK
User-space libraries for line-rate packet processing
BSD-3-Clause
ABOUT
Kernel sockets copy packets and cannot fill 100G NICs. DPDK polls devices in user space with huge pages and lockless rings so databases, Seastar services, and inference gateways process packets at line rate without the kernel network stack.
INTEGRATION GUIDE
1. Poll a NIC in user space for a line-rate packet pipeline
2. Back a Seastar or custom C server with DPDK I/O
3. Bypass the kernel stack in a low-latency inference gateway
4. Build a user-space switch or load balancer on huge pages
