There are several low latency features in StarlingX, depending on what you mean by low latency.

I just asked to understand as 'ultra-low latency' feature is mentioned in the stx web site.

StarlingX supports the rt-linux kernel, which significantly improves kernel scheduling and reduces rt application latency.

So, we use low latency profile with RT kernel?

Or customized profile that specific to stx?

It also supports OVS DPDK, which greatly reduces network packet delivery latency, which I believe is only supported today in Neutron. There is work in progress in the communitfeature y to enable DPDK in Kubernetes but AFAIK that work has not yet been picked up by StarlingX.

Thanks for sharing this information.

Could be a dumb question:

Does it provide any specific protocols to improve the performance of video streaming etc?

Subject: [Starlingx-discuss] How low latency implemented in STX?

Hi,

I would like to know how low latency implemented in StarlingX.

- Is it implemented only in starlingx itself

or

Is it implemented in Kubernetes shipped with starlingx?

Any optimization has been done to Neutron (under OpenStack) in order to achieve low latency with virtualized networking?

or do we use exact same upstream OpenStack components under StarlingX?
