Hello Folks,I've been writing a small application on Ubuntu 20.04 that uses
DPDK. I started with some of the simpler examples such as l2fwd and
packet_ordering and added some other function I wanted to experiment with. I'm
getting good packet throughput and the library is working well. Overall, DPDK
is feature rich, easy to compile, and working as advertised.
As next steps, I would like to move my application to run on top of a very
small Linux image that can be loaded off of a very small flash or even over the
network.OpenWRT checks all the boxes for being small, having a lot of network
utilities, and supporting DPDK.
Looking at the documents, the OpenWRT docs is pretty small and I don't see mmay
uch discussions about it on the archives of this mailing list.
I'm asking if people could provide some feedback on writing a DPDK app for use
on OpenWRT.
Is the advertised integration working well?How easy is it to cross compile an
app to run on OpenWRT (x86 in m y case)?
I would welcome any comment on this topic
