SmartNIC Hardware offloads past, present and future

Speakers: Oz Shlomo and Rony Efrayim, Mellanox Slides: https://www.openvswitch.org/support/o... Data path processing of high throughput networks introduce huge CPU overheads, thus making HW offload a must requirement for hyperscale computing, telecom etc. The OVS HW offload architecture enables incremental introduction of HW offload features while allowing flows to be either fully offloaded, where all the processing is done in HW, partially offloaded, where the hardware performs some of the flow rules and actions, or not offloaded at all where the packet processing is entirely executed in software. The talk will recap the OVS infrastructure for hardware offloads while focusing on the HW offloads model of tunneling and connection tracking for OVS DPDK using rte_flow.
