libvma or libxlio

[cjcj5243]

May I ask what is the difference and connection between libvma and libxlio? I've read that the usage of both libraries is basically the same, so I'm not quite sure how to choose whether to use libvma or libxlio.

VMA

NVIDIA Messaging Accelerator (VMA) boosts performance for message-based and streaming applications such as those found in financial services market data environments and Web2.0 clusters. It allows application written over standard socket API to run over Ethernet and/or Infiniband from user-space with full network stack bypass.

See: https://docs.nvidia.com/networking/display/vmav9851/introduction+to+vma

Target: ultra latency

XLIO

XLIO - Accelerated IO SW library
The NVIDIA® Accelerated IO (XLIO) SW library boosts the performance of TCP/IP applications based on NGINX (CDN, DoH Etc.) and storage solutions as part of the SPDK. XLIO is a user-space software library that exposes standard socket APIs with kernel-bypass architecture, enabling a hardware-based direct copy between an application’s user-space memory and the network interface.
