As the number of CPU cores and the speed of Ethernet NICs keep increasing on server
machines, the network stack in the kernel has become the bottleneck for applications …

With the ever growing speed of Ethernet NIC and more and more CPU cores on commodity
X86 servers, the processing capability of the network stack in Linux kernel has become the …

With the rapid development of network interface controller (NIC), network stack has become
the determinant of web service performance. Traditionally, network stack is implemented in …

Kernel bypass systems have demonstrated order of magnitude improvements in throughput
and tail latency for network-intensive applications relative to traditional operating systems …

Kernel-bypass networking, which allows applications to circumvent the kernel and interface
directly with NIC hardware, is one of the main tools for improving application network …

Dedicated, tightly integrated, and static packet processing pipelines in today's most widely
deployed network stacks preclude them from fully exploiting capabilities of modern …

Recent network adaptors are equipped with multiple transmit and receive hardware queues
combined with a wide variety of filtering and demultiplexing functionality. Contemporary …

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has recently gained popularity due to its ability of
offering high scalability and programmability using commodity servers and general-purpose …

Network Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are important components of network-
based applications. They play a central role in the end-to-end performance ultimately …

Achieving microsecond-scale tail latency poses an extreme challenge to the conventional
