This episode features Andy Gospodarek, a Principal Engineer at Broadcom, where he works as a software architect on the NICs team. This interview, recorded at the DPDK summit in San Jose on November 15, 2017, focuses on his team's work on offloading flows to Broadcom NICs, using the user's choice of the Linux “TC” flow offload API or a Broadcom-specific API. Toward the end, he also talks about a different kind of hardware acceleration using a “Smart NIC” with a multicore general-purpose CPU that can run Open vSwitch or other popular networking software.

Andy also spoke about acceleration with Smart NICs at Open vSwitch Fall Conference 2018. Slides and video are available.
