SUMMARY:DPDK and 802.11 - Robert McMahon\, Umber Networks
DESCRIPTION:DPDK transformed wired networking by giving host software direct control over packet processing. This talk makes the case that the same approach should be applied to 802.11 wireless. Wi-Fi’s real behavior—contention\, TXOP scheduling\, A-MPDU aggregation\, rate adaptation\, and retries—is hidden below the 802.3 interface inside firmware and hardware state machines. This prevents per-packet observability and programmable control. We propose a Wi-Fi Poll Mode Driver model that operates natively on 802.11 frames\, exposing aggregation and retry behavior as first-class metadata and accepting explicit transmission parameters (MCS/NSS/BW\, TXOP limits\, retry policy). With this interface\, a DPDK application can coordinate microsecond-scale MAC scheduling with millisecond-scale ECN/AQM control. We outline the required PMD interface\, metadata surface\, and driver hooks needed to bring software-defined control to wireless networking.

SUMMARY:Applying Header–Data Split To Zero-Copy Data Transfer - Dapeng Sang & Wei Yan\, ByteDance
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, we will explore the application of header-data split in zero-copy mechanisms within a disaggregated userspace protocol stack to improve performance and multi-tenant memory safety. We focus on two key points:\n 1. Performance Optimization\n a. Zero-Copy: Achieve zero-copy between the application and the NIC\, reducing latency and saving CPU resources.\n b. Cache Efficiency: By applying HDS\, the userspace stack only loads the protocol headers\, reducing cache pollution and making protocol parsing faster.\n c. Cross-Socket Access: Headers and payloads can reside on different sockets\, eliminating the need for remote data access by applications.\n 2. Memory Permission Isolation\n a. Memory Sharing and Safety: Each application creates memory pool and shares it with the userspace stack. Only read permission is retained in userspace stack after registration on device.\n b. Fault Containment and Protection: In the event of memory exceptions in either the application or the userspace stack\, their operational stability remain unaffected.\n Through detailed design\, we have enhanced the performance and safety. Attendees will get an in-depth look at the practical application.

SUMMARY:Bridging DPDK and NIC HQoS With Priority-Aware Backpressure - Rubens Figueiredo\, BISDN GmbH
DESCRIPTION:Hierarchical QoS (HQoS) in DPDK enables fine-grained shaping across tens of thousands of flows\, but scaling beyond a single core remains challenging. While rte_sched offers flexible software HQoS\, synchronization and cache overheads constrain multi-core performance. Modern NICs such as the Intel E810 offer line-rate hardware HQoS\, but only at coarse granularity\, lacking per-flow control. Partial offload combines both data planes\, preserving fine-grained control in software and aggregate shaping in hardware. However\, for current partial offloads\, the split is uncoordinated. Software selects packets assuming TX capacity is available\, but under overload\, the NIC may accept only part of the burst\, dropping some packets. Because these drops occur after the scheduler\, high-priority traffic may discarded\, breaking QoS guarantees and increases latency. We introduce Priority-Aware Backpressure (PAB)\, an extension to DPDK that treats NIC TX failures as congestion signals and dynamically adjusts dequeue budgets per priority. PAB keeps drops within scheduler control\, preventing high-priority loss and maintaining stable latency under sustained overload across eight schedulers and 32000 flows.

SUMMARY:Finding the Best Path To the Kernel - Stephen Hemminger\, Independent
DESCRIPTION:DPDK offers multiple virtual devices for kernel packet exchange: tap\, af_packet\, af_xdp\, pcap\, and virtio-user. This talk benchmarks all five approaches and provides guidance on selecting the right one for your use case.\n \n When DPDK applications need kernel connectivity—control plane traffic\, management interfaces\, or integration with kernel services—developers must choose among several virtual devices. Direct comparisons are scarce.

SUMMARY:Grout: Two Years in - Building a Production-Ready DPDK Router - Robin Jarry\, Red Hat
DESCRIPTION:grout\, an official dpdk.org project\, is modular DPDK-based software utilizing the DPDK graph library. This is the third project update\, following presentations in September 2024 and May 2025. The talk will start with a brief recap of grout's design principles: strict separation between control and data planes\, OSI layer-based module organization\, and runtime configuration via a socket API. Since May 2025\, major updates include an OpenMetrics exporter for production monitoring\, a DHCP client for dynamic addresses\, improved control plane interfaces for FRR integration\, continued multi-VRF work\, and Layer 2 bridging with MAC learning. We will discuss the technical challenges and solutions. We will discuss concrete deployment scenarios: integrating grout with OpenStack Neutron as a third-party L3 provider\, and using grout as a PE router in Kubernetes environments. Each use case highlights different grout capabilities. Finally\, you will discover our roadmap for the coming year. Bring your use cases\, features and ideas so we can integrate them in the roadmap: what should be added to grout so you can use it?

SUMMARY:Integrating FRR With Grout - Robin Jarry\, Red Hat
DESCRIPTION:DPDK-based routing stacks often integrate with Linux by using the kernel as the primary routing and control point\, with routing state mirrored into a userspace dataplane. While effective\, this model couples the dataplane closely to kernel routing semantics.\n \n This talk explores an alternative architectural approach: treating the DPDK dataplane itself as the routing data plane. Grout is designed to integrate directly with FRRouting (FRR)\, with routes programmed from FRR straight into Grout\, without requiring a kernel FIB.\n \n Using FRR’s dataplane (dplane) API\, we developed a Zebra dataplane plugin that intercepts routing operations before kernel installation and translates routes\, nexthops\, addresses\, and VRF information into Grout API calls. This avoids kernel-to-userspace route synchronization and simplifies control/data-plane interactions.\n \n TAP and TUN interfaces provide Linux connectivity for FRR protocol daemons (BGP\, OSPF\, IS-IS)\, while packet forwarding remains in DPDK. We also discuss VRF integration\, including mapping Linux VRF identifiers to Grout VRF IDs\, and present a reusable design pattern for integrating FRR with DPDK-based routing data planes.

SUMMARY:DPDK Powered Data Acquisition Systems at CERN - Roland Sipos\, CERN
DESCRIPTION:At CERN\, the European Organization for Nuclear Research\, DPDK has evolved from a performance enabler to a common technology for data acquisition and readout systems across multiple practical use-cases. It is deployed in production in multiple experiments like NA62 and in the prototype detectors at CERN’s Neutrino Platform\, and forms part of the architectural foundation for large-scale experiments like DUNE. For NA62\, DPDK replaced a commercial\, licensed networking solution\, enabling a fully open-source readout stack with improved maintainability and long-term sustainability. In the DUNE experiment’s prototypes\, the challenge was not only transitioning from custom protocols to standard Ethernet\, but scaling to multi-100Gbps UDP inputs per computing node. This required NUMA-aware architecture\, RX queue partitioning\, multi-process separation of control and data planes\, memory pool tuning\, burst optimization\, and careful interrupt and polling strategies to sustain deterministic throughput. The talk presents concrete architectural patterns\, tuning strategies\, and operational lessons from large-scale\, long-running deployments for physics experiments at CERN.

SUMMARY:Running a High-Performance DPDK-Based Router on Kubernetes - Andrea Panattoni\, Red Hat
DESCRIPTION:Grout is a DPDK-based software router that supports IPv4/IPv6 forwarding\, VRFs\, NAT\, and FRR integration. Deploying it\, as any DPDK application\, inside a Kubernetes pod presents a fundamental challenge: DPDK expects direct hardware access\, hugepages\, and dedicated CPU cores\, while Kubernetes abstracts all of these away by design. This talk walks through deploying Grout on Red Hat OpenShift\, leveraging the platform's operator ecosystem to bridge the gap between DPDK's hardware requirements and Kubernetes' abstraction model. It covers the full stack: configuring the SR-IOV Network Operator to expose virtual functions\, using the Node Tuning Operator and PerformanceProfiles to guarantee isolated CPUs\, Hugepages\, and NUMA-aligned scheduling\, and packaging Grout as a container that can consume these resources.

SUMMARY:Using DPDK on Embedded RISC-V Cores of a NIC - Dmitry Kozlyuk\, Mitigator Global
DESCRIPTION:Data-path accelerator (DPA) is an NVIDIA BlueField-3 subsystem that consists of a large number of RISC-V cores integrated with the NIC fabric. DPA cannot comprehensively host DPDK\, because DPA is running an RTOS without any conventional services except scheduling. Besides\, DPDK core abstractions are suboptimal for DPA or have limited use there. On the other hand\, it is desired to run advanced and well-tested DPDK algorithms on DPA. Doing so means running DPDK control plane and data plane code on separate HW and in very different environments. We describe the needed adjustments to DPDK libraries to do so and measure the performance of DPDK code running on DPA. We also outline and discuss the gaps that DPDK could overcome to allow its use in such heterogeneous environments.

SUMMARY:Cryptographic Offloading To DPU/XPU PCI Cards Using Virtio-Crypto and DPDK Ethdev as Transport - Akhil Goyal & Anoob Joseph\, Marvell
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, we will explore a use case where PCI endpoint card is utilized to offload cryptographic operations from the host machine. The buffers for these operations are transferred to the PCI card via the virtio/ethernet interface between the host and the endpoint over PCI. We will discuss two distinct approaches to manage crypto operations.\n \n Approach 1: Standard Virtio-Crypto Interface - DPDK/kernel virtio-crypto device is used to establish crypto sessions and transmit data across the PCI endpoint. The endpoint performs cryptographic operations and returns processed data to the virtio-crypto device. The application running on the endpoint translates the virtio-crypto sessions and processes the data using the DPDK crypto device on the endpoint\, subsequently sending the processed data back to the host.\n Approach 2: LiquidCrypto - Due to limited virtio-crypto offload capabilities\, second approach is proposed. This method utilizes the DPDK ethernet SDP interface between the host and endpoint for fast path transport and the kernel SDP interface for slow path and management of the PCI card. The sample applications and the interface library are open-source and available on GitHub.

SUMMARY:PQC Integration in DPDK: OpenSSL PMD Implementation and Future Offload Roadmap - Gowrishankar Muthukrishnan & Akhil Goyal\, Marvell
DESCRIPTION:Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) requires seamless integration into modern packet frameworks. This work introduces post-quantum cryptography (PQC) support in the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) through the OpenSSL Poll Mode Driver (PMD)\, providing developers with a practical entry point to experiment with PQC primitives using the familiar cryptodev API. The OpenSSL PMD implementation serves as a reference design\, demonstrating how PQC algorithms such as key encapsulation and digital signatures can be exposed consistently to applications with minimal changes. For developers\, this enables immediate validation\, benchmarking\, and integration of PQC workloads in software\, while establishing a clear API model for future extensions. The long-term vision is for hardware crypto accelerators—including Octeon CNXK and VirtIO crypto drivers—to adopt this reference approach\, ensuring interoperability and contributing back to the community. By aligning software and hardware PMDs around a unified PQC API\, DPDK fosters a collaborative ecosystem where developers\, vendors\, and operators can build scalable\, quantum resilient applications such as VPNs\, TLS termination\, IPsec gateways\, and 5G cores.

SUMMARY:DPDK Integration for DPI: Practical Trade-offs Between Throughput\, Portability\, and Operations - Harald Bunke\, ipoque GmbH\, a Rohde & Schwarz company
DESCRIPTION:DPDK is used as the packet-ingest layer for a traffic monitoring system feeding an internal DPI engine. Today\, throughput is maximized by tuning for a specific server/NIC/OS combination\, but this reduces portability and increases operational effort. This lightning talk discusses the throughput impact observed when moving toward a more “generic” deployment. Results are presented for: (1) optimized (“native”) vs portable (“generic”) builds\, (2) CPU isolation\, (3) hugepage configuration and (4) PMD/driver configuration.

SUMMARY:Beyond Throughput: Exploring the Ambiguities and Limits of rte_flow Offloading - Pavlina Patova\, DynaNIC Semiconductors
DESCRIPTION:As network speeds increase\, relying on hardware offloading via rte_flow becomes essential. However\, the implementation of these APIs varies significantly across vendors. This talk shares findings from an ongoing exploration of NIC performance (NVIDIA\, Intel or DYNANIC)\, with a primary focus on the capabilities and limitations of hardware-offloaded packet filtering using the DPDK rte_flow API. While standard throughput metrics are important\, this session moves beyond basic performance to explore the behavior of NICs under stress and in ambiguous scenarios that are often overlooked in standard datasheets.

SUMMARY:AI-Assisted Formal Verification of the DPDK eBPF Verifier - Marat Khalili & Claudia Cauli\, Huawei Ireland Research Center
DESCRIPTION:eBPF support was added to DPDK in 2018\, enabling users to execute custom byte-code to extend application functionality without rebuilding or restarting. Our Data-Plane team aims to make eBPF a first-class citizen in HC data-plane appliances. However\, safe usage requires ensuring custom programs won't crash the application. The current DPDK eBPF verifier lacks essential features and isn't as robust as the Linux kernel version. This presentation covers two aspects: - eBPF Usage in Data-Plane Appliances: Current and planned uses\, missing DPDK eBPF functionality\, and requirements for wider community adoption. - Verifying the Verifier: We applied bounded model checking and deductive verification to verify the BPF validator's correctness. We uncovered multiple previously unknown bugs across distinct classes. For each bug\, we produced counterexamples\, verified fixes\, and machine-checked proofs. Using an AI assistant\, we formally verified the validator in days. We'll share practical lessons for applying AI-assisted formal verification to DPDK subsystems.

SUMMARY:Packet Capture Tool Based on eBPF for DPDK - Tengteng Yang\, ByteDance
DESCRIPTION:In the field of high-performance networking\, traditional packet capture tools like tcpdump are facing a massive blind spot in observability. tcpdump relies heavily on the kernel protocol stack\, whereas modern high-performance applications widely adopt DPDK technology. In DPDK\, packets flow directly between userspace drivers and applications via mbuf\, completely bypassing the kernel. To address these pain points\, we have introduced an internal open-source network observability tool — netcap. Netcap not only inherits the ability to trace kernel skbs but also achieves breakthrough support for DPDK mbufs: - Deep Userspace Introspection: It can delve directly into userspace memory\, non-intrusively capturing and parsing mbuf data flowing through critical DPDK processing functions. - Zero Learning Curve: It perfectly supports tcpdump filter syntax (BPF filters)\, allowing developers to precisely capture the mbuf traffic they care about\, just like using tcpdump. The emergence of netcap effectively fills the gap in "mbuf observability" within high-performance network development\, making black-box debugging of DPDK applications a thing of the past.

SUMMARY:Multithreading on Eventdev - Mattias Rönnblom\, Ericsson
DESCRIPTION:Events (jobs) in Eventdev are non-preemptive\, and thus must be relatively short run time. One way to deal with this issue is to split large jobs into multiple events. For legacy code\, originally design for POSIX threads\, such an exercise may be costly. Also\, for certain domains\, being able to retain the stack between invocations (events) may results in a simpler program. This talk briefly introduce this topic and discuss an Ericsson prototype coroutine library running on top of Eventdev\, allowing for a code written for a thread-like\, cooperative multi-tasking programming model to coexist with native event-driven programs running on the same DPDK lcores\, making the coroutine library in combination the event device a task/thread scheduler. Note: I have not reviewed the two-hour "Inclusive Speaker Orientation" training. If this is mandatory\, please ignore this submission.

SUMMARY:The Little Extras in DPDK - Bruce Richardson\, Intel Corporation
DESCRIPTION:As a long-time DPDK developer\, I am more used to working on code WITHIN DPDK rather than writing apps USING DPDK. On the odd occasion\, when I do need to create an end-user app using DPDK\, there are a number of the additional little libraries and tools in DPDK that I reach for to improve the DPDK app development and debug process. These include the cmdline library (including using the new script for cmdline generation)\, configfile library\, telemetry support\, and others. While most of these are not likely to be new to many developers\, the content here may prove helpful to anyone starting out with green-field DPDK development\, or putting together quick apps for packet processing using DPDK.

SUMMARY:Yelled at by LLMs: Putting a Megaphone To AI Models in DPDK CI - Aaron Conole\, Red Hat & Stephen Hemminger\, Independent
DESCRIPTION:Over the past year\, the Tech Board has been reviewing how to integrate LLMs into the CI workflow to enact an assisted review cycle for patches. This work has looked at various aspects of adding an AI review assistant to the process that can help maintainers and developers spot difficult to reach issues. The results of the trial-and-error testing have lead to a new AI assistant that helps to review patches and series.\n In this talk\, we'll cover the various roads we took for analysis\, AI review infrastructure that lives in the tree\, the policy around getting an LLM review of patches\, and future work.

SUMMARY:Develop With Confidence: Integrating the DPDK Test Suite With Your Development Workflow - Patrick Robb\, DTS Maintainer
DESCRIPTION:Currently\, the standard development workflow for DPDK goes something like this: A developer wants to add a new feature or resolve a bug in DPDK\, so they write a patch\, run the DPDK unit tests against it\, and then if those are passing\, send it off to the mailing list\, where it will get picked up by CI labs that run end to end testing on real hardware using the DPDK Test Suite. Although this solution works fairly well\, DPDK developers may also gain some valuable speed and confidence by directly integrating the DPDK Test Suite into their local development workflow. So\, I will “demo” the following sequence. First apply a patch to DPDK which either resolves or breaks some DPDK functionality. Then\, pass this new DPDK source into the DPDK Test Suite\, executing a testcase/testcases on a minimal DTS setup. Then\, overview the results produced by DTS\, and highlight how the patch applied in step 1 resolved/broke functionality tracked by the testcase/testcases being run. Specifically\, I will demonstrate this workflow through the new Flow Offload Testsuite that is arriving to DPDK in DPDK version 26.03.
