Short anwer: No. AF_PACKET is mostly used by our passive sniffing and packet indexing agents. DPDK features are only available in Hepic deployments and in our Cubro EXA8 HEP Agent integration but not key to our design. There are no generic (as in misleading) benchmarks for Homer as unlike other platforms we do NOT store any packet/PCAPs to disk linearly but rather dissect and index protocols and transactions to database in realtime, performance is directly proportional to the amount of traffic content being processed vs. system specs and architecture. |
