Cisco: ML2/VPP ­ Blazingly Fast Networking for Neutron

VPP is a fast network data plane, part of the Linux Foundation FD.io project.  It is designed on top of DPDK to run network workloads at ludicrous speeds using vector packet processing technology.

ML2/VPP is a VPP network driver for Neutron designed to take advantage of VPP’s performance. VPP brings the performance; ML2/VPP brings the resiliency, simplicity and scalability required to make it useful in OpenStack environments.

We’ll talk about what VPP is and why it’s a good choice for network workloads, particularly demanding ones such as NFV applications; how the ML2 driver is put together and why you can trust it to hold up in cloud environments (and even debug it); and the performance we see when we put the two together in a real world OpenStack deployment.
