According to the DPDK charter, the mission of the project is to, “create an open source, production quality, vendor neutral software platform for enabling fast dataplane I/O, upon which users can build and run data plane applications.” DPDK today is a foundational element in many other open-source projects, including Open vSwitch, OPNFV and OpenStack.
