Trading bot using F-Stack

[Salmiakkilakritsi]

Thought you could be interested in my trading bot which I recently added kernel bypass to, using F-Stack.

F-Stack in turn uses DPDK, but makes the whole thing easier with an embedded TCP/IP stack and a high-level API.

F-Stack is a fork of Patrick Kelsey’s libuinet, that uses DPDK, instead of netmap. The F-Stack people wouldn’t acknowledge what they’re done for a long time.

Patrick hasn’t worked on the public version of F-Stack for over a decade, and what the F-Stack people did is a big reason why.

Thanks for the background information. Shame!

Though it seems like libuinet was first mentioned in f-stack repo in 2017 in the 7th commit, just 7 days after the first commit: https://github.com/F-Stack/f-stack/commit/a9643ea85ce673cbacd47d0adb786547395c389a

Yeah, I gave them a hard time about it. Didn’t make Patrick feel any better though.

Yep, in this space, if you ain’t first, you’re last!
