Freeflow
A high-performance container overlay network enabling RDMA communication and accelerating TCP to bare-metal performance without application modifications.
What is Freeflow?
Freeflow is a high-performance container overlay network that enables RDMA communication and accelerates TCP sockets to host network performance levels. It solves the problem of network performance degradation in containerized environments by providing bare-metal-like speeds without modifying application code.
System administrators, DevOps engineers, and researchers deploying high-performance computing (HPC) or data-intensive applications (like Spark, TensorFlow) in containerized, multi-tenant cloud or cluster environments.
Developers choose Freeflow because it delivers RDMA and accelerated TCP performance in containers with zero application code changes, integrates with existing overlay networks, and offers flexible operation modes tailored to isolation and efficiency needs.
Overview
High performance container overlay networks on Linux. Enabling RDMA (on both InfiniBand and RoCE) and accelerating TCP to bare metal performance. Freeflow requires zero modification on application code/binary.
Use Cases
Best For
- Running RDMA-based applications like Spark or TensorFlow in containerized clusters
