Dataplane networking acceleration with OpenDataplane
summary
OpenDataPlane provides a portable C API and a reference C library that runs in userspace and maps to hardware features (queues, classifier, scheduler, crypto) so the same app targets Cavium/NXP/TI SDKs. A GitHub repo contains tests and examples, a binary-compatible build mode, and a lwIP/Suricata port work-in-progress. NXP LS2088 measurements show near line-rate forwarding and decryption with few ARM cores by pushing work into hardware; drivers use UIO/VFIO to reuse Linux stacks.
