[dpdk-users] DPDK support for wireless NICs

[Chengke Wang]

        Dear all,




        I found DPDK in order to implement a high-speed dataplane on 802.11ac. 
We have tested that in the scenario where two machines use Wi-Fi Direct to 
communicate, the goodput of TCP can reach above 800Mbps.






        However, I learned that DPDK does not support wireless NICs now. Does 
DPDK have special requirements of today’s commodity wireless NIC hardware? If 
not, is it feasible to bring in support of DPDK for wireless NICs with 
modification *only* to the NIC driver? We want to work on this if the change to 
the driver is all we need.



        Thanks,



        Chengke
