Tested with https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-bindgen v0.65. Tested with https://github.com/DPDK/dpdk.git v22.11.
There are other rust-dpdk implementations and you may choose most proper implementation to your purpose.
(https://github.com/flier/rust-dpdk, https://github.com/netsys/netbricks)
This library is built for following design goals.
- Minimize hand-written binding code.
- Do not include
bindgen's output in this repository. - Statically link DPDK libraries instead of using shared libraries.
| Library | No bindgen output | Static linking | Inline function wrappers | Prevent PMD opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| flier | bindgen snapshot | O | O (manual) | X |
| netbricks | manual FFI | X | X | O (via dynload) |
| ANLAB | ondemand creation | O | O (automatic) | O |
First, this library depends on Intel Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK). Refer to official DPDK document to install DPDK (http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/linux_gsg/index.html).
Here, we include basic instructions to build DPDK and use this library.
Commonly, following packages are required to build DPDK.
apt-get install -y curl git build-essential libnuma-dev meson # To download and build DPDK
apt-get install -y linux-headers-amd64 # To build kernel drivers
apt-get install -y libclang-dev clang llvm-dev # To analyze DPDK headers and create bindings
DPDK can be installed by following commands:
meson build
ninja -C build
ninja -C build install # sudo required
Since v20.11, kernel drivers are moved to https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-kmods/. If your NIC requires kernel drivers, they are found at the above link.
Now add rust-dpdk to your project's Cargo.toml and use it!
