[dpdk-dev] Specific NIC for DPDK?

2014-01-06 Thread TSADOK, Shlomi (Shlomi)
Hello A quick general question: Is there a requirement for using a specific NIC/Chipset for DPDK or any NIC will do? If there's such a requirement, why is that? Are the're any hardware optimizations etc. in DPDK enabled NICs? Thanks Shlomi

[dpdk-dev] Specific NIC for DPDK?

2014-01-06 Thread Daniel Kaminsky
Hi Shlomi, Currently DPDK supports most of Intel 1Gb and 10Gb NICs. The exact list can be found at lib/librte_eal/common/include/rte_pci_dev_ids.h The reason is the the DPDK includes a poll mode driver and for a different NIC you might need a different poll mode driver. Regards, Daniel Kaminsky

You could write a PMD for any NIC. The work is only done for the NICs listed here http://dpdk.org/doc/nics But nothing stopping anyone from using other NICs if they want to write the PMD. Regards, Jim -Original Message- From: dev [mailto:dev-boun...@dpdk.org] On Behalf Of TSADOK, Shlomi
