Intel® Ethernet 800 Series (800 Series) is the next generation of Intel® Ethernet Controllers and Network Adapters. The Intel® Ethernet 800 Series is designed with an enhanced programmable pipeline, allowing deeper and more diverse protocol header processing. This on-chip capability is called Dynamic Device Personalization (DDP). Unlike the optional DDP solution in the Intel® Ethernet 700 Series (700 Series), the DDP implementation in the 800 Series is integral to the primary functions of the network packet processing pipeline. Similar to the 700 Series, enhanced DDP profiles can be loaded per device for specific capabilities. In the 800 Series, a DDP profile is loaded dynamically on driver load per device.
A general-purpose DDP package is automatically installed with all supported 800 Series drivers on Windows*, ESX, FreeBSD, and Linux* operating systems, including those provided by the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK). This general-purpose DDP package is known as the OS-Default package. Additional DDP packages will be available to address packet processing needs for specific market segments. For example, a telecommunications (Comms) DDP package has been developed to support GTP and PPPoE protocols in addition to the protocols in the OS-Default package. The Comms DDP package is available with DPDK 19.11 and will also be supported by the 800 Series ice driver on Linux* operating systems.
