Huawei DMM container project focuses on elevating protocol stacks

Huawei recently rolled out its new dual modes, multi-prococols, multi-instances (DMM) open source project with the aim of redesigning the protocol stack container in networking. The company’s DMM is a Fast Data project and part of the Linux Foundation’s FD.io (Fast data – Input/Output) community, which houses projects and libraries. FD.io provides the software defined infrastructure developer community a landing site with multiple projects centered on developing innovations in software-based packet processing, according to the Linux Foundation. Huawei said DMM will make it possible to use diverse protocol stacks for different apps as well as simplify the process of developing a new protocol stack.
