Description

This project DMM which stands for Dual Mode, Multi-protocol, Multi-instance, is to provide an extendable framework that supports different protocols on both kernel and user space, with the DMM framework, system operators can plug-in dedicated types of networking stack instances according to performance and/or functional requirements from user applications, i.e. DMM framework hosts different types of networking stack instances operating on different domains (kernel space or user-space) and support for different protocol suits e.g. TCP/IP, RDMA, or others

• Existing applications or new applications use Posix compatible and uniform socket API library (via system hijacking or LD_PRELOAD).
• Neuro Resource Discovery learn the set of protocol policies to route the packet. It can be like controller continuously monitor the network state and can update the policy rules dynamically on need basis.
• Local protocol policy orchestrator regularly sync with nRD.
• Session layer of DMM (nSocket) lookup this protocol orchestrator for any new session request and manages the session mapping and other info’s.
• Based on protocol lookup the corresponding protocol stack is chosen.

Scope

• DMM supports different protocols on both kernel and user space
• With the DMM framework, system operators can plug-in dedicated types of networking stack instances according to performance and/or functional requirements from user applications
