vRotuer-dpdk is the user space dataplane solution in Tungsten Fabric project. Although new Intel platform and new DPDK technology development rapid, vRouter-dpdk was designed in several years ago, it could not benefit from them. This presentation is to introduce some works that have been done for vRouter-dpdk. Those cover CPU cores extension on new SKL platform, tunnel acceleration by rte_flow library and powered by DDP technology on Intel NIC, Cuckoo hash library integration for flow table, multi-queue support, and batch TX/RX support. Eventually, with these enhancement on vRouter-dpdk, Tungsten Fabric becomes compatible with new hardware and software technology, and the performance is boosted as well.
