DPI: The Data Processing Interface for Modern Networks

Summary: Proposes DPI, an MPI-like interface definition that abstracts modern programmable-network capabilities (RDMA, in-network processing, SDN) to let data systems push and exploit network-side primitives without binding to specific technologies. Defines core DPI primitives and sketches use cases in analytics and distributed databases. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
