“ Finally, Verplanke discusses some Open vSwitch optimizations. The current Open vSwitch architecture is fine for endpoint virtualization, but not for network data plane virtualization. What Intel has been working on is repliace the VirtIO drivers with DPDK-enabled VirtIO drivers, and use DPDK to replace the Linux bridging utilities with a DPDK-enabled forwarding application. The DPDK-enabled forwarding application is a “zero copy” operation, thus reducing latency and processing load when forwarding packets. Intel is also creating shims between DPDK and Open vSwitch, so that an OVS controller can update Open vSwitch, which can then update the DPDK forwarding app to modify or manipulate forwarding tables. „
