Event Details

This presentation details the benefits of using VPP on ARM based SmartNICs through OpenDataPlane. To illustrate those, IPsec termination in the context of VPNaaS deployment will be presented. It will also highlight elements of SmartNICs' future vision:

- direct-virtio: Traditionally, software adapts to hardware through device drivers.

- odp-net: building on virtio-net concepts, virtual machines should be able to leverage full scale offloads from SmartNICs through a single device driver.

- odpCL: integration with LLVM and OpenCL technologies will simplify building and debugging very large core count, distributed, multimodal applications (VM+SmartNIC, VM+SmartNIC/FPGA...).
