how-to-install-dpdk-on-ubuntu.sh

# If you're looking into the C10M problem (10 million concurrent connections)
# you might want to play with DPDK (Originally proprietry Intel, now open source)
#
# C10M: http://c10m.robertgraham.com/
# DPDK: http://dpdk.org/
#
# This is a quick summary how to install dpdk on ubuntu
# running inside virtualbox on a mac

# On my Mac:
vagrant init ubuntu

# Edit the Vagrantfile to add a second network adaptor
# (necessary because DPDK takes over the entire adaptor (and confusingly refers to it as a "port"),
# so your ssh breaks if you use the primary adaptor)
config.vm.network :private_network, ip: "10.0.0.10"

vagrant up
vagrant ssh

# Install dependencies
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`

# Get code
git clone http://dpdk.org/git/dpdk

# Build code
cd dpdk
make config T=x86_64-default-linuxapp-gcc
make

# Install kernel modules
sudo modprobe uio
sudo insmod build/kmod/igb_uio.ko

# Configure hugepages
echo 1024 | sudo tee /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
sudo mkdir /mnt/huge
sudo mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/huge

# Bind secondary network adaptor
sudo ifconfig eth1 down
sudo ./tools/pci_unbind.py --bind=igb_uio eth1

# I needed to do this to make the examples compile, not sure why.
export RTE_SDK=/home/vagrant/dpdk
ln -s $RTE_SDK/build $RTE_SDK/x86_64-default-linuxapp-gcc

# Go wild! You have a low-latency user-space network stack!
