3.1 FD.IO
Editor: John deNisco DeNisco
(OUTLINE DRAFT)
FD.io (Fast data – Input/Output) is a collection of several projects that support flexible, programmable packet processing services on a generic hardware platform. FD.io offers a landing site with multiple projects fostering innovations in software-based packet processing towards the creation of high-throughput, low-latency and resource-efficient IO services suitable to many architectures (x86, ARM, and PowerPC) and deployment environments (bare metal, VM, container).
The core component is the Vector Packet Processing (VPP) library. VPP using “Vector Packet Processing” technology. The VPP library is highly modular, allowing for new graph nodes to be easily “plugged in” without changes to the underlying code base. This gives developers the potential to easily build any number of packet processing solutions.
FD.io Vector Packet Processor (VPP)
What is Vector Packet Processing?
FD.io’s Vector Packet Processor (VPP) is a fast, scalable layer 2-4 multi-platform network stack. It runs in Linux user space on multiple architectures including x86, ARM, and Power architectures.

Continuous System Integration and Testing (CSIT)
The Continuous System Integration and Testing (CSIT) project provides functional and performance testing for FD.io VPP. This testing is focused on functional and performance regressions.
Hybrid Information-Centric Networking (hiCN)
Hybrid Information-Centric Networking (hICN) is a network architecture that makes use of IPv6 or IPv4 to realize location-independent communications. A scalable stack is available based on VPP and a client stack is provided to support any mobile and desktop operating system.
