Packet Processing in Linux Kernel When packets are arrived at NIC, it sends an interrupt request (IRQ) to the CPU. The CPU then stop working task (like computing) it was performing to receive the packets. Interruptions mean reducing the CPU’s ability to perform its primary computational tasks. In case of VM, this problem is increased… Continue reading PCI-Passthrough | SR-IOV | DPDK
