Netdev 0x16 - Infrastructure data path function (IDPF) workshop

Chairs: Anjali Singhai Jain Willem de Bruijin Sridhar Samudrala Michael S. Tsirkin Info: This workshop presents the motivation for a new high performance Open network interface, presents a candidate design and proposes a standardization process to get to broad industry agreement. It aims to answer questions including why standardization, why deviate from virtio and why this specific candidate. There is broad industry understanding on the benefits of a single shared interface. It simplifies VM management for users and distros, and heterogenous hardware fleets management for hyperscale providers. Speeds of 200 Mpps and beyond require an optimized design with features such as separate buffer and completion queues, inline crypto acceleration and header-split for direct data placement.
