The "past few posts" mentioned in the beginning include:

* Introduction to virtio-networking and vhost-net [0] * How vhost-user came into being: Virtio-networking and DPDK [1]

There are more articles but these help with understanding the motivation behind vDPA.

RH has a blog series which motivates and introduces vDPA.

For a start, read their post on virtio-networking and vhost-net [0], continue with virtio-networking and DPDK [1] and finally read "Achieving network wirespeed in an open standard manner: introducing vDPA" [2].

In particular the last link has a lot of diagrams, recaps a lot of the virtio-networking topics and finally has a table which compares the other solutions to vDPA.

Great idea, well done! First I thought about developing something similar. But luckily a friend pointed me to your project and YT video :)

It would be great to have some docs ;) Is it possible to add API endpoints like for ChatGPT?

PS: I am wondering why so far it did not gain more traction here at HN?!…
