An open source user space fast path TCP/IP stack What is Our Intention with OpenFastPath (OFP)? To enable efficient IP communication  Essential in practically all networking use-cases, including NFV To enable efficient system design  The IP stack runs close to the underlying hardware and can leverage hardware features To lower the barriers to build network applications in a multivendor environment  ODP and DPDK support offers application portability across hardware architectures To reduce development costs through Open Source business model  Enables companies to focus investments on differentiating features What is OpenFastPath? IP fast path incubation project between Nokia, Enea and ARM  Developers and supporting staff active from all three companies Organized as an Open source project  Democratic governance model  Using open source software  BSD license  Source code on GitHub  Mailing list, shared Google docs, weekly calls, Freenode chat etc Leverages ODP and DPDK to access hardware from user space  Maximizes portability and software reuse  Native DPDK is evaluated Linux user space IP fast path implementation  Maximizes throughput and scalability by minimizing Linux overhead  Leverages Linux for slowpath and route/ARP table updates Features implemented Fast path protocols processing:  Layer 4: UDP termination, TCP termination, ICMP protocol  Layer 3  ARP/NDP  IPv4 and IPv6 forwarding and routing  IPv4 fragmentation and reassembly  VRF for IPv4  IGMP and multicast  Layer 2: Ethernet, VLAN, VxLAN  GRE Tunneling Routes and MACs are in sync with Linux through Netlink Integration with Linux Slow path IP stack through TAP interface Command line interface  Packet dumping and other debugging
