Top 4 C++ Dpdk Projects

Seastar

25 8,004 9.7 C++

High performance server-side application framework

Project mention: I want to share my latest hobby project, dbeel: A distributed thread-per-core nosql db written in rust | /r/rust | 2023-11-13

I used glommio as the async executor (instead of something like tokio), and it is wonderful. For people wondering whether it's "good enough" or to use C++ and seastar (as I have thought about a lot before starting this project), take the leap of faith, it's fast - both in terms of run time and to code.

PcapPlusPlus

32 2,574 9.1 C++

PcapPlusPlus is a multiplatform C++ library for capturing, parsing and crafting of network packets. It is designed to be efficient, powerful and easy to use. It provides C++ wrappers for the most popular packet processing engines such as libpcap, Npcap, WinPcap, DPDK, AF_XDP and PF_RING.

Project mention: PcapPlusPlus v23.09 is out! - C++ library for capturing and analyzing network packets | /r/cpp | 2023-10-01

It's been a while since our last release (about 10 months) so quite a lot has changed. I'll try to summarize the most important things. You can see the full list of changes in the release notes: https://github.com/seladb/PcapPlusPlus/releases/tag/v23.09

InfluxDB

machnet

2 45 9.4 C++

Machnet provides applications like databases and finance an easy way to access low-latency DPDK-based messaging on public cloud VMs. 750K RPS on Azure at 61 us P99.9.

Project mention: Easy DPDK-based messaging on cloud VMs with Machnet | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-23

Hi all! We've built Machnet to provide an easy way for applications to reduce their datacenter networking latency via kernel-bypass (DPDK-based) messaging. Distributed applications like databases and finance can use Machnet as the networking library to get sub-100 microsecond tail network latency at high message rates, e.g., 750,000 1KB request-reply messages per second on Azure F8s_v2 VMs with 61 microsecond P99.9 round-trip latency. Machnet supports a variety of cloud (Azure, AWS, GCP) and bare-metal platforms, OSs and NICs, evaluated in https://github.com/microsoft/machnet/blob/main/docs/PERFORMA....
While there are several other DPDK-based network stacks, Machnet provides the following unique benefits:
- Specifically designed for and tested on public cloud VM environments
