Re: TCP/IP stack - options

[Vincent JARDIN <vincent.jardin-pdR9zngts4EAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

Hi Sujith,

NetBSD/Rump is the only open source TCP/IP stack for DPDK. Some people 
may have tried to port LwIP too. As far as we know, only 6WIND has a 
robust and fully compliant stack which provides socket APIs to the 
applications on top of the DPDK. I'd be pleased to get a list of options 
for the DPDK too:
   - Rump/NetBSD thanks to Antti
   - maybe LwIP TBC
   - 6WINDGate's fast path TCP/IP stack
and to list them on dpdk.org.

My 2 cents,
   Vincent
