Hi, Gleaned this thread on nanog mailer archive [1] mentioning fd.io :)
Not a "thought leader", but I thought I respond with some fd.io data points, hopefully relevant to the thread’s subject. Note that most of them focus on data plane functionality, performance and technology level comparison: - IPv4 routing (large FIB) at Terabit speed, a video clip (low-budget) showing what difference modern Xeon processors (Skylake) can make to SW data plane if coupled with something super-fast, produced by LF FD.io project for Xeon Skylake launch on 11th July 2017 (a year ago). [2] - SW data plane benchmarking, technical paper [3][4]. - Test and performance report for last fd.io release [5]. - Continuous trending of fd.io vpp master branch [6]. And although network control plane is not covered (e.g. BGP), many data plane hooks required are there incl. large FIBs, VRFs, hierarchical FIB for IP fast convergence, multicast, etc. HTH -Maciek [1] https://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2018-June/095897.html [2] "FD.io: A Universal Terabit Network Dataplane", https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLJ0XLeV3V4.
