Does ffrouter accelerate TCP socket using RDMA? #3

Or just forward stream to host network?

bobzhuyb commented 6 years ago

No. If you want that, you can use freeflow in combination with rsocket.

The tcp branch has nothing to do with rdma. In a nutshell, it creates a short-cut in kernel for applications inside containers to avoid unnecessary kernel stack overhead.

Thanks.
