DPDK and energy efficiency

[Etienne-Victor Depasquale]

Hello folks,

I've just followed a thread regarding use of CGNAT and noted a suggestion
(regarding DANOS) that includes use of DPDK.

As I'm interested in the breadth of adoption of DPDK, and as I'm a
researcher into energy and power efficiency, I'd love to hear your feedback
on your use of power consumption control by DPDK.

I've drawn up a bare-bones, 2-question survey at this link:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/J886DPY.

Responses have been set to anonymous.

Cheers,

Etienne

IPv6 Migration is generally not aided by CGNAT.

In general, the economics today still work out to make purchasing or leasing 
addresses more favorable than CGNAT.

It’s a bit dated by now, but still very relevant, see Lee Howard’s excellent 
research presented at the 2012 Rocky
mountain v6 task force meeting:

I’m embarrassed to say, I’ve done this.
