hugepage大小和數量的boot設定寫在kernel command line：/etc/default/grub e.g.,:

// /etc/default/grub 
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text default_hugepagesz=2M hugepagesz=2M hugepages=1024 iommu=pt intel_iommu=on quiet splash"

$ sudo update-grub 
//會把設定寫入/boot/grub/grub.cfg

隨時調整2M hugepage數量：echo 2048 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages 因為hugepage是連續的memory, 所以儘量在boot的時候就先設定/預留下來, 像是1G hugepage因為太大,所以就只能在boot設定無法隨時調整數量, 從cat /proc/cpCPU的flags：如果pse存在，hugepage可用2M; pdpe1gb，可用1G。

mtcp

Github: https://github.com/eunyoung14/mtcp
setting dpdk (include compile and setup.sh) mtcp support to dpdk-2.1.0
sudo ./tools/setup_iface_single_process.sh 3 (create /dev/dpdk-ifce, modify IP settings in /etc/network/interfaces, so arg useless) modified example script:

//    /setup_iface_single_process.sh   argument is useless in my setting
.
while [ $counter -gt 0 ]
do
    ifconfig dpdk$(($counter - 1))  up
    ifup dpdk$(($counter - 1)) 
    let "counter=$counter - 1"
done
//    /etc/network/interfaces
iface dpdk0 inet static
address 10.128.80.44
netmask 255.255.252.0
gateway 10.128.83.254

use ifup with /etc/network/interfaces setup IP, routing
create soft links

cd dpdk/
ln -s ../dpdk-2.1.0/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/lib lib  
ln -s ../dpdk-2.1.0/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/include include

setup mtcp library

./configure --with-dpdk-lib=$(pwd)/dpdk  
cd mtcp/src  
make

set mtcp.conf and config/route.conf(arp.conf) per app

/*
Route.conf and arp.conf settings example
(Connect to Internet have to set static roule and must set their arp same as proxy in this version.)
*/
ROUTES 1   // how many routing rules , route.conf choose which dpdk port to send pkts
173.194.72.100/32 dpdk0

ARP_ENTRY 2
10.128.83.254/32 48:0F:CF:0A:A7:E3   //proxy
173.194.72.100/32 48:0F:CF:0A:A7:E3  
/*
because mtcp lack of gateway settings, we have to set gateway by setting outer network's mac same as gateway, 
so port know to send pkts to gateway, then gateway forward them.
*/

opendp

Github: https://github.com/opendp/dpdk-odp
live project, commit frequently.

setting dpdk (include compile and setup.sh) opendp support dpdk-2.1.0
compile opendp and its application (make in folder)

cd .../test/opendp/  
make

export RTE_ODP=.../test
opendp application have to run opendp first, as a daemon-like program

sudo ./opendp -c 0x1 -n 4 -- -p 0x1 --config="(0,0,0)"

[Configure iproute by commands] (https://github.com/opendp/dpdk-odp/wiki/Configure-iproute-by-commands)

cd netdp_cmd  
sudo ./build/netdpcmd  
netdp> ip addr del 2.2.2.2/24 dev eth0
netdp> ip addr add 10.128.80.44/22 dev eth0
netdp> ip route add 0.0.0.0/0 via 10.128.83.254
quit
// can ping

libos-nuse

Github: https://github.com/libos-nuse/net-next-nuse
The main purpose: test protocol from their document.
build dpdk process learned from: libos-nuse/linux-libos-tools#19

build dpdk-enable NUSE

cd nuse
make defconfig
make library ARCH=lib
./arch/lib/tools/dpdk-sdk-build.sh  //comment lib kcompat.h Line:3868 skb_set_hash if encouter build error
make library ARCH=lib DPDK=yes

set nuse.conf

rumprun

Github: https://github.com/rumpkernel/drv-netif-dpdk
library usage: https://www.freelists.org/post/rumpkernel-users/Component-descriptions-was-Re-Question-Rumpkernel-Profiling-Rumpconf
Now, we cannot compile kqueue in Linux. rumpapi(/rump/include/rump/rump_syscalls.h)沒有包含kqueue使用所需的header檔,詢問作者的結果是只有在BSD寫過kqueue的program且在BSD上還無法build DPDK. 另外,因為rump不是把kqueue轉換成epoll所以在rump+Nginx上運行可能會有同時存在epoll和kqueue的情況.目前還想不到解法,先Stop!
