Description

The TLDK (Transport Layer Development Kit) project will implement a set of libraries for L4 protocol processing (UDP, TCP etc.), which will enable a user to implement a host network stack.

We are planning to contribute a good starting point for the code base, but more work will need to be completed.

Scope

The FD.io TLDK project scope is:

  • The project scope includes implementing a set of libraries for L4 protocol processing (UDP, TCP etc.) for both IPv4 and IPv6.
  • The project scope includes creating VPP graph nodes, plugins etc using those libraries to implement a host stack.

Initial Committers

Vendor Neutral

No current or expected issues with vendor neutrality. The project will initially be developed using DPDK as the Network I/O layer. DPDK is a vendor-neutral, multi-architecture project. The project can be extended in future to support other Network I/O layers.

Meets Board Policy (including IPR, being within Board defined Scope etc)

Meets board policy as expressed in Technical Community Charter and IP Policy

Administrata

  • Request for Project proposal consideration
    • Email: (place link to email to TSC proposing project, this can be obtained from TSC Archives
    • Date: (date proposed, makes it simpler to calculate the pre-requisite 2 week time period of gestation before being permitted to be voted on)
