DPDK Summit 2025

Writing multi-process DPDK applications using external queues" explores a novel approach to leveraging DPDK’s multi-process capabilities without requiring shared data or a designated main process. While DPDK supports offloading flows to hardware for performance gains, integrating offloading logic into existing applications can be challenging. By using APIs that enable one application to register queues with another, users can introduce a separate offloading application without modifying the original one. This approach is particularly valuable in scenarios like P4-based architectures, where the offloading application operates independently from the main application, enabling greater flexibility and modularity
