ANS is a DPDK-native userspace TCP/IP stack written in C, based on the FreeBSD implementation, providing zero-copy mbuf handling and a BSD-compatible socket API. It includes libraries for the stack, sockets, and CLI configuration, targeting high-performance NFV and cloud networking workloads.
Use cases
- run a userspace tcp/ip stack on dpdk
- build a high-performance tcp server bypassing the linux kernel
- terminate tcp connections in an nfv virtual network function
- get bsd socket api compatibility for dpdk applications
- configure routes and acl rules for a dpdk fastpath
- run tcp/ip stack in a container with vhost or kni
When to choose
- you need kernel-bypass TCP/IP with zero-copy on DPDK
- you want a BSD socket API so existing apps can use the DPDK fastpath
- you need TCP features like congestion control, TSO, ECN, and SO_REUSEPORT at high packet rates
When to avoid
- you need a maintained project - the last release was 2021 and it targets dpdk-18.11
- your workload is low-traffic and the linux kernel stack is sufficient
- you need a portable cross-platform stack - it targets Linux on x86 and arm64 only
