COMPARING PACKET PROCESSING SPEED USING DPDK

The advent of telecommunications networks has set the stakes to the point where customers require constant high-speed access to advanced multimedia services provided via laptops or smartphones regardless of where they are located. Therefore it is an ongoing challenge for network operators how they evolve and manage their network performance to meet the growing demand. Conventional multicore architectures increased performance and cost efficiency, allow packet processing to be enacted in software rather than using dedicated hardware with an objective of increasing the processor speed of packets. Hence advanced high-speed packet processing software's are needed to utilize all the hardware potential. This paper presents a comparison of recent frameworks of packet processing software with a focus on the prevalent abstractions.
