The 6WINDGate fast path SDK is the execution environment for the fast path modules. The fast path SDK is hardware-dependent and is identified by the hardware architecture (processor), the implementation of the fast path (Linux kernel, hybrid or executive) and the Linux distribution. The fast path SDK includes: • The generic abstraction APIs used to implement fast path modules independently from the underlying hardware with zero-overhead, using the services of the processor SDK (executive/hybrid fast path) or Linux drivers (Linux kernel fast path). • The glue to provide the 6WINDGate networking stack as a drop-in replacement for the networking stack of the Linux distribution. • The exception and continuous synchronization mechanisms between Linux and the fast path.
