OVS-DPDK Parameters: Dealing with multi-NUMA
In Network Function Virtualization, there is a need to scale functions (VNFs) and infrastructure (NFVi) across multiple NUMA nodes in order to maximize resource usage. In this blog, we'll show how to configure Open vSwitch using DPDK datapath (OVS-DPDK) parameters for multiple NUMA systems, based on OVS 2.6/2.7 using DPDK 16.11 LTS. OVS-DPDK parameters are set through OVSDB and defaults are provided. Using defaults is a great way to get basic setups running with minimal effort but tuning is often...
