Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) on Azure offers a faster user-space packet processing framework for performance-intensive applications. This framework bypasses the virtual machine’s kernel network stack.
2017

In typical packet processing that uses the kernel network stack, the process is interrupt-driven. When the network interface receives incoming packets, there's a kernel interrupt to process the packet and a context switch from the kernel space to the user space. DPDK eliminates context switching and the interrupt-driven method in favor of a user-space implementation that uses poll mode drivers for fast packet processing.
