This post was originally published on the Mellanox blog in April 2020. People generally assume that faster network interconnects maximize endpoint performance. In this post, I examine the key factors and considerations when choosing the right speed for your leaf-spine data center network. To establish a common ground and terminology, Table 1 lists the five building blocks of a standard��

This post was originally published on the Mellanox blog. XDP (eXpress Data Path) is a programmable data path in the Linux kernel network stack. It provides a framework to BPF and can enable high performance packet processing at runtime. XDP works in concert with the Linux network stack and is not a kernel bypass. Because XDP runs in the kernel network driver��
