Hi, I have read in a pdf document about DPDK that the driver that comes within the DPDK distribution was modified to disable interrupt handling. This explains why DPDK is so fast. However , this means the app in user space must constantly watch for new packets, so the CPU load average will be almost 100% all the time, correct? Well, then what happens if the app executes a busy process and at that time all RX rings get filled, will the incoming network traffic be lost?
Thanks in advance Nulik
