What is FD.io VPP?
- FD.io VPP(Fast Data Input/Output Vector Packet Processing)is a new network multi-tool.
- Feature:Fast, Scalable and Determinisic,Extensible and Flexible modular design,Developer friendly.
- New Directions:Asymmectrical Pipelines. Containers. TCP Acceleration. Accelerators.
- Summary:FD.io VPP is a multi-vendor packet processing technologies that is leading the network transformation. FD.io VPP is a fast and easy-to-use tools.
What the FD.io VPP can do?
中兴:Build the network infrastructure for MEC(multi-access edge computing) and IOT(物联网), based on FD.io /VPP
- Problem:Higher requirement for high bandwidth, ultra-low latency. The load of core network is further aggravated.
- case1:MEC Traffic Offloading Locally
case2:IoT Gateway - Contributions for VPP:ARP module,IP fragment packet pseudo reassembly improvement
NAT ip fragment & icmp fragment packet pseudo reassembly support
LB static scheduling algorithm (rr,wrr,hash)supplement;LB service health check support
华为:DMM
- Background:TCP protocol found as the perfomance killer
- Requirement:
- Kernel space or User space?
- Apps have different flavours?
- hardware is not all the same
DMM Protocol Framework: Dual mode, Multiple protocols & Multiple instances, aim to provide a new solution of diverse protocol stacks for developers.-Support Kernel Space and User Space-Simplify new protocol adoptions and Integrations-Enable “protocol routing” in Cloud Networking-
- DMM Protocol Framework deal a lot of problem so we can concentrate on develop.
- User Case for DMM
- Traditional TCP has limited bandwidth usage in the WAN, because:
- TCP Congestion Control will limit delivery rate
- Packet Loss and Resend will decrease throughput.
Optimized TCP stack in DMM can achieve 90% bandwidth usage and low latency, easy to deploy
Optimized TCP stack in DMM can support mass concurrent connections and achieve smooth user experience even 12% packet loss rate.
- Stack developers can concentrate on user space protocol innovations;
Apps can dynamically choose different protocols.
Support both kernel TCP/IP stack and user space stack;
Container network will easily build E2E communication capacities. - huawei 罗素:支撑管道纵深(使能运营商,不可替代),云和IT,消费者终端和行业数字化
Intel:Hyperscan
- Hyperscan is a regular expression matching library。Regular expression is used to do string operation, or to search and replace some pattern. Hyperscan is used to optimize performance.
- Dimensions of Performance Optimize:Sreaming and non-streaming performance.
Small writes.
High match rates.
Scaling to multiple cores/threads.(linear).
Pattern compile time (<1s or <10s)
Optimize size。 - Three tools : Hsbench-hyperscan性能测试 Hscheck-版本兼容性 Hscollider-传统匹配库兼容性
- Summary:Solid and mature. Delivers substantial speedups to open source IPS/IDS systems.
(An Optimization can have many dimensions,and can bring some tools to be better used.)
京东:use DPDK to do LB
新华三:DPDK在NFV中的应用
- 关注点一:三层解耦,编排,控制,网元,虚拟化层能异厂家对接
- 关注点二: NFV的转发性能,低时延,高性能,和硬件转发相比
- 优化手段:
- 无锁队列
- 大页表—减少TLBmiss
- 内存零拷贝
- CPU编译指令优化
- PMD调度模型
- 限制:只支持用户态,不提供用户态协议栈,需要厂家自行开发
- 优化:转发性能显著提升,单核性能可以翻倍
