What is VPP Technology?
https://cloudswit.ch/blogs/vector-packet-processing-marvell-octeon-device/ Recently, Asterfusion unveiled the ET2500 open smart gateway , a cutting-edge device that promises to revolutionize network performance. This compact powerhouse is driven by Vector Packet Processing (VPP) technology and features a robust Marvell OCTEON 10 ARM Neoverse2 8-core processor . With this configuration, the ET2500 achieves an impressive routing performance of up to 48Gbps , even when managing a full BGP routing table of approximately 1 million entries. Figure 1 VPP performance tested on Asterfusion ET2500 This capability is sufficient to handle traffic equivalent to 3,000 concurrent 4K video calls, making it ideal for enterprises, small metro networks, and cloud edge gateways. Remarkably, the ET2500 outperforms similar gateway devices that lack VPP by more than tenfold. But what exactly enables VPP to deliver such a significant performance boost? Let’s explore this to...
