Fast Data Project's Release 19.08 Enriches Data Plane Leadership and Deployment EfficacySAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- FD.io ("Fido") – an open source project within the Linux Foundation's LF Networking (LFN) specifically focused on becoming the world's packet processing data plane for secure network infrastructure applications – today announced the availability of software release 19.08. The release provides significant additions and enhancements to the Vector Packet Processing's (VPP) network stack, host stack, and management infrastructure – furthering its breakthrough packet processing performance and strengthening ease of deployment and manageability. VPP's Network Stack (VNET) provides a platform-independent subgraph for processing Layer 2 and 3 networking traffic. Release 19.08 adds the following to the network stack - speeding rule processing, cryptography, and overall network interface robustness:
VPP's Host Stack provides a platform-independent subgraph for processing Layer 2 and 3 networking traffic. Release 19.08 adds the following to the network stack - speeding rule processing, cryptography, and overall network interface robustness: FD.io VPP's host stack builds on top of the L2/L3 network stack - adding transport, session, and application-layer protocol processing nodes. Release 19.08 adds the following:
Complementing a rich set of network and host stack improvements and additions, release 19.08 also adds new management capabilities that are key to enterprise and carrier class deployment efficacy, including:
Industry uptake of FD.io continues to expand through vendor solution productization and commercial network deployments:
"Many have worked diligently for several years now to progress FD.io to the point of commercial viability," said Jim Thompson, Netgate CTO. "Now that we are seeing mainstream network deployments, the project takes on a new level of importance. Release 19.08 is a significant stepping stone on that path." To date, FD.io has over 15,000 commits from roughly 400 contributors working through 90 organizations - including network operators, service providers, equipment and software providers, chip vendors, integrators, and researchers - all collaborating to innovate software-based packet processing. FD.io community projects address not only VPP technology, but a diverse set of requirements and usability needs across a variety of deployment environments.
