One mistake going too shallow and you will probably rip the foils off doing significant damage to boat. Thats my theory why they aren't more popular except in specific applications. Fuel costs are always an issue with boats and foils a

Wireguard isn't doing to bad considering its not hardware accelerated like AES-GCM. Also looks like AF_PACKET and AF_XDP are basically an alternative to DPDK with similar functionality but built into the kernel using kernel drivers, ne

I thought interrupt mode reduced performance, that was the tradeoff, is the throughput your quoting in interrupt or polling mode? Good numbers either way, but you again much more limited hardware support since the drivers need to be DPDK sp

5Gbps on what hardware and how does that compare to the kernel implementation on the same hardware? Curious to know how big a difference DPDK makes. Also what about cpu time, I know typically DPDK takes more CPU due to polling, normally wan

Another observation after reading the article again, reminds me of the explanation for vampires unable to stand crucifixes in Peter Watt's Blindsight: "a cross-wiring of normally-distinct receptor arrays in the visual cortex, resu

My understanding is DPDK has much smaller set a supported nic's since it doesn't use the kernel drivers for the card along with all the other things that the kernel provides. Wireguard in kernel gives great performance while just

It always amuses me that large cats are no different than house cats, they seem to act exactly the same including sitting in boxes [1]. Only difference is when the large cat gets annoyed for unknown reasons it kills you rather than just scr

I really don't see the value in it. Electronic payments could be better in some ways but they seem to work fine and using normal ledgers in a db is much more efficient than distributed POW or whatever. Lack of governmental control seem
