Virtual Network

Ethernet

  • Generate real network traffic workloads
  • Supports Native hosts (Host OS) and VMs (QEMU/Vmware – guest OS)
  • Test SoC hardware offload implementations
  • IPsec/MACsec, SSL, etc.
  • Stress test DPU designs running multiple HW-SW protocols
  • Offload storage, GPUs, memory to composable pooled arrays
  • Host-to-DPU fabric is 100/200/400Gbe
  • Debug custom SDKs and network interface drivers and end-user applications
  • Run NVMe-oF SDKs and compliance and interoperability tests
  • Run SPDK and FIO performance benchmarking applications
  • UNH-IOL NVMe/TCP and NVMe/RoCE INTERACT tool and testsuite
