6WINDGate Description
The architecture of 6WINDGate distinguishes between the control plane and the data plane. Within the data plane, the fast path operates independently from the Linux OS on a specific set of processor cores. This fast path efficiently handles most network packets without the performance penalties associated with Linux overhead. It adopts a run-to-completion approach, allowing all cores to execute the same software, which can be dynamically allocated based on the demands of packet processing or Linux application needs. Only a few exceptional packets that necessitate intricate processing are sent to the Linux environment, where it handles necessary management, signaling, and control tasks. Additionally, packet processing data that is set up or learned through control plane protocols in Linux is seamlessly synchronized with the fast path, ensuring that the fast path's presence remains entirely unobtrusive for both Linux and its applications. This design enables optimal performance while maintaining a clear separation between processing layers.
