Network Function Virtualization Using Data Plane Developer's Kit

PublishTime：2021-10-19

■Key Benefits :
●DPDK addresses key scalability issues of NFV workloads
●Marvell FastLinQ 41000/45000 Series 10/25/40/50/100GbE Adapters offer a robust set of capabilities addressing NFV requirements
●Marvell PMD enables 25GbE and 100GbE NFV-based platforms using DPDK
●The combination of a DPDK poll mode driver (PMD) and OpenStack creates the foundation for VNFs
■Executive Summary:
●Network data centers are undergoing major transformations by introducing virtual network devices to provide the agility and efficiency required today.
●Network Function Virtualization (NFV) provides similar capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational expenditure (OPEX) savings for communications and networking workloads in the network data center, as server virtualization provides for compute and application workloads. A network function workload has different attributes than a compute workload that tests existing processing models, particularly as speeds reach toward 100Gbps. These requirements drive the need for libraries tailored to the data plane or traffic forwarding component of these network functions. Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) provides a scalable, proven, mature set of libraries for these workloads.
●Marvell is a contributor to DPDK.org and has developed a PMD for Marvell FastLinQ Intelligent Ethernet Adapters, enabling DPDK support on Marvell adapters from 10Gb Ethernet (10GbE) to 100GbE. This complements other key features of Marvell FastLinQ Adapters for the telco market, including tunneling offloads, Network Interface Card (NIC) virtualization, and iSCSI offloads.
