Hello all,
I'd like to ask you about future outlook of multi-process support in DPDK (https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/multi_proc_support.html).
On DPDK Userspace 2022, I have presented a solution that uses multi-process support (https://youtu.be/TtiR74w3Yv4) in Suricata IDS.
But after the talk, some people have reached out to me and suggested that multi-process support might not be supported in the long-term.
As I would like to continue developing the concept further, I thought it might be a good idea to consult the idea and possibly open the discussion.
As an alternative solution to multi-process support I see either vhost-user/virtio/vDPA or VF. However, I couldn't find any performance benchmarks on this topic.
Further guidance is highly appreciated. Thank you all in advance. Best regards, Lukas Sismis
