From 12 to 60 Gbps with DPDK, when we tried to become a 5G-edge box
The sixth post in the CertaScale series. When private cloud proved a hard sell, the owners pivoted to 5G edge, and edge means line-rate on commodity hardware. Our kernel data path topped out around 12 Gbps on 100 Gbps NICs. Taking it out of the kernel with DPDK, hugepages, poll-mode drivers, and userspace-bound NICs got the same servers to roughly 60 Gbps.
The private cloud we built before it was cool
From 2016 to 2019 I helped build a private cloud on top of very early Kubernetes, with a drag-and-drop canvas, VMs running inside pods before Kata existed, and an enterprise-grade network layer I led, from GCP-style flat overlays to a 12-to-60 Gbps DPDK data path. The company is gone. The story shouldn't be.
