Multiqueue Networking Developments in the Linux Kernel
As horizontal scaling of even the most basic desktop systems continues onward, taking advantage of this ever growing CPU power in the networking requires real change.
By way of a combination of hardware and software facilities, we can distribute the packet processing work across the available CPU resources in the system. Once the ability to steer traffic to CPUs exists in the kernel, the next issue to tackle is making sure such steering decisions are done intelligently.
This talk will cover the work that has been done in the Linux kernel networking over the past two years to support multiqueue networking hardware, and the work that is planned for the future. TX and RX multiqueue facilities in the kernel will be discussed, as well as future changes that will make for application based traffic steering.
