6WIND provides high performance networking implementation that allows software reuse and open networking based on standard Linux APIs.

For virtualization implementations, it allows building high performance networking overlays for Linux based hypervisor (KVM) in order to interconnect low latency virtual-machines or VNF.

Some of the solutions are based on DPDK for IO drivers. Then, 6WIND leverages a mix of hardware and smart software algorithms to sustain high performance and low latency for networking processing.

The 6WIND team is opened to any developers working with 6WIND software integration with any orchestration systems and any Linux systems.

6WIND provides packet processing accelerations for many environments: Openstack, Ubuntu, Redhat, Mirantis and Oracle.
