Performance
===========
Overview
^^^^^^^^
One of the benefits of FD.io VPP is high performance on relatively low-power computing, this performance is based on the following features:
* A high-performance user-space network stack designed for commodity hardware:
- L2, L3 and L4 features and encapsulations.
* Optimized packet interfaces supporting a multitude of use cases:
- An integrated vhost-user backend for high speed VM-to-VM connectivity
- An integrated memif container backend for high speed Container-to-Container connectivity
- An integrated vhost based interface to punt packets to the Linux Kernel
* The same optimized code-paths run execute on the host, and inside VMs and Linux containers
* Leverages best-of-breed open source driver technology: `DPDK <https://www.dpdk.org/>`_
* Tested at scale; linear core scaling, tested with millions of flows and mac addresses
These features have been designed to take full advantage of common micro-processor optimization techniques, such as:
* Reducing cache and TLS misses by processing packets in vectors
* Realizing `IPC <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_cycle>`_ gains with vector instructions such as: SSE, AVX and NEON
* Eliminating mode switching, context switches and blocking, to always be doing useful work
* Cache-lined aligned buffers for cache and memory efficiency
Packet Throughput Graphs

Trending Throughput Graphs
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
These are some of the trending packet throughput graphs from the CSIT `trending dashboard <https://docs.fd.io/csit/master/trending/introduction/index.html>`_. **Please note that**, performance in the trending graphs will change on a nightly basis in line with the software development cycle:
