Vhostuser CNI - a Dataplane network plugin - Supports OVS-DPDK and VPP

[Kuralamudhan Ramakrishnan]

Hi all,

We open-sourced Vhostuser CNI as a 3rd party plugin in CNI community. Vhostuser plugin is a Container Network Interface (CNI) plugin to run with OVS-DPDK and VPP along with Multus CNI plugin in Kubernetes for Bare metal container deployment model. It enhances high performance container Networking solution and Dataplane Acceleration for NFV Environment. Much appreciated the OVS, DPDK and VPP users/developer in containers within Kubernetes network SIG community for the feedback.

With regards,

Kural.

​Is this only for use with DPDK based applications running in a container?​

Hi Russell,

It is generic to run with Kernel based containerized application with OVS, VPP, SRIOV VF. If you have containerized DPDK application, then it can run with DPDK app. Only in DPDK-SRIOV CNI, we have to specifically say dpdk mode or kernel mode. It supports both Intel and Mellanox NICs and drivers as well.
