Burst! Does it matter if packet bursts are contiguous or scattered?
Packets burst into contiguous memory provide a huge performance benefit due to L1 HW prefetching and optimal PCIe utilization.
Key Take-aways from Two Great Open Source Events
During the first week of May I attended the RedHat Summit in Boston for the first time. This year over 6000 people from the open source community around the world got together for 3 days to learn about the latest innovations, ideas and initiatives under the RedHat umbrella.
Effective NFV MANO Calls for Automated NFVI
In the world of fin tech, data capture has never exactly been the sexiest area of development.
But as market participants ready themselves for a new wave of trading rules, and as competition among cutting edge trading firms has shown no sign of abating, the importance of data capture has taken on much greater significance.

Acceleration in HW is Boosting Performance. In DPDK 17.02 rte_Flow is the Enabler.
Acceleration via NICs in DPDK has so far been via proprietary APIs and only on limited number of NICs. DPDK 17.02 rte_flow will change that.
Embracing Service Agility, NFV Infrastructure Automation and the New Cloud Reality
At Mobile World Congress recently, I was privileged to be invited to speak on a panel debating NFV. The topic of the panel discussion was “NFV: a re-examination” and included participants from Telefonica, InterDigital Europe, Cisco, Spirent and Red Hat.
