FOSDEM 2026’s Network DevRoom featured multiple sessions on FD.io projects, Vector Packet Processing (VPP) spanning hardware traffic management offload, reproducible benchmarking with CSIT, and scaling high-performance IPsec for secure network functions. Harnessing Hardware for High-Performance Traffic Management in FD.io/VPP Speakers: Venkata Ravichandra Mynidi, Alok Mishra This session focuses on using dedicated NIC/SmartNIC/DPU capabilities for traffic management while keeping VPP’s forwarding graph flexible. It introduces a VPP traffic-management (TM) offload framework with a vendor-neutral API intended to program and manage hardware-based QoS features such as hierarchical scheduling, dual-rate shaping (RFC 2698), and policing.
