Vector Packet Processing brings scalable gigabit network functions to whitebox CPEs
Since the advent of whitebox networking, implementations have struggled in high-throughput scenarios (3Gbps/4Mpps+), with 10Gigabit solutions needing more than 20 cores to push full-duplex linerate IPSec .This is due to kernel inefficiencies (system interrupts vs polling) and unoptimized software unable to scale after a certain threshold. However modern userspace solutions built on top of the …
