DPDK testing and support #18

Open lungdear opened 3 months ago

lungdear commented 3 months ago

What's the scenario to testing?. What's the scenario to support (kernel version, OS, NIC vendor)

randybias commented 2 months ago

@lungdear to find out from @tikitavi and @Andrey-mp if we are testing DPDK yet. Is a SmartNIC strictly necessary or can we test DPDK using software? AF_XDP?

Yury mentioned there is a virtio driver that supports DPDK. If so then we should be able to get basic testing done with this.

as I know - even with virtio we have to deploy on baremetal. the same we did inside Juniper's lab.

I deployed a complete 3-node TF cluster on my VMware virtual machine, with the network card driver being VMXNET3. I used the DPDK version of vRouter, and it only requires linking the VMXNET3 PMD driver during compilation.

@Andrey-mp are we able to do this?

@randybias we are able to test this on baremetal server. Anastasia is in contact with Ploy regading resources.
