I don't think you have researched this enough. Asking this questions shows that you are just beginning your research or do not understand how this fits into current telco NFV/SDN efforts.
Why does this exist: "OpenDataPlane using DPDK for Intel NIC", listed below? Why would competing technologies use the competition technology to solve a problem? Maybe you can change your thesis to "Current Open Source Dataplane Methods": and do a comparison between the two. However if you just look at the sales documentation then you may not understand the real difference.

Does anybody know OpenDataPlane ? http://www.opendataplane.org/ It is a framework designed to enable software portability between networking SoCs, regardless of the underlying instruction set architecture. There are several implementations. * OpenDataPlane using DPDK for Intel NIC * OpenDataPlane using DPAA for Freescale platforms (QorIQ) * OpenDataPlane using MCSDK for Texas Insturments platforms (KeyStone II) * etc. When a developer wants to port his application, he just needs to recompile it with the implementation of OpenDataPlane related to the new platform. I'm doing my Master's Thesis on OpenDataPlane and I have some questions. - Now that OpenDataPlane (ODP) exists, schould every developpers start a new project with ODP or are there some reasons to still use DPDK ? What do you think ? Thank you very much Nicolas
