Integrating Cloud Native Data Plane (CNDP) with OMEC BESS-UPF
summary
Integrates CNDP with AF_XDP into OMEC’s BESS-UPF by adding a BESS CNDP port and deploying via Kubernetes using AF_XDP device-plugin and CNI; testbed uses Intel E810C NIC with DDP profile, DPDK-based traffic generator, and Aether-in-a-box on Ubuntu 18.04. Claims up to 10x improvement over sockets and demonstrates the data path: 5 simulated profiles × 5 packets = 25 user packets traverse the UPF pipeline end-to-end in the demo, showing the integration functions in a containerized environment.
