# Dataplane Stack
Copyright (c) 2022-2023, Arm Limited. All rights reserved.
Dataplane Stack aims to provide high-throughput packet processing software stack and solutions to solve customer and partner use cases in networking applications. It is implemented, validated and deployed on Arm AArch64 architecture.
Dataplane Stack architecture is shown in the following figure:
Dataplane Stack solution serves multiple purposes,
* Showcase the integration of various networking components and act as poof of concept
* Allow for performance analysis/optimization with a solution that is close to real world use cases
* Provide users with an out-of-the-box reference for rapid development
The target platforms to run Dataplane Stack on, and target verification includes,
* Ampere Altra (Neoverse-N1) - Functionalities and Performance
### Safety and Security
Arm Neoverse reference design software solutions are example software projects containing downstream versions of open source components. Although the components in these solutions track their upstream versions, users of these solutions are responsible for ensuring that, if necessary, these components are updated before use to ensure they contain any new functional or security fixes that may be required
Please refer to the [Quickstart Guide](./doc/quickstart.rst) to get started using this solution. The same Quickstart Guide and complete documentation generated from this repository are also available in [Dataplane Stack online documentation](https://dataplane-stack.docs.arm.com).
* Users of this software stack must consider safety and security implications according to their own usage goals
* Does not provide native traffic generator
