DPDK is pretty amazing. I keep beating on MT for it.

Anyways, that would be really surprising to me Simon. I didn't expect a multi-generational leap in performance until more things used PF_RING from ntop, or things like netmap gain in development and popularity. I know 6WIND does similar things with kernel bypass, pushing the stack into user space, but AFAIK there are only about 4 or 5 companies with any sort of kernel bypass capability of the network stack. If you have any additional information, please do share. This is a fascinating topic I've been monitoring since around 2011.

Go look at companies like 6WIND, they claim on an Intel Xeon CPU, being able to do in excess of 5 million PPS on a single core. Apparently scales as far as you can go. Granted, there's a lot of development work to use DPDK, but it's allegedly possible. I think most of the Procera stuff is actually done in software, I don't think they have any dedicated ASICs, it's all Intel hardware. They probably use DPDK.
