Does DPDK/RDMA between 2 machines gives lower latency than local host ping

I know loopback will go through the kernel network stack until reach IP layer, including syscall overhead and some memory copy overhead. DPDK and RDMA use different technology to avoid these. So let’s say I have two machine connected by dpdk/rdma, then I do net latency test, will that be faster than loopback on just … Read more
