 Freeflow is a high performance container overlay network that enables RDMA communication and accelerates TCP socket to the same as bare metal. 
 
-Freeflow works with popular overlay network solutions including Flannel, Weave, etc. The containers have their individual virtual network interfaces and IP addresses, and do not need direct access to the hardware NIC interface. A lightweight Freeflow library inside containers intercepts RDMA and TCP socket APIs, and a Freeflow router outside containers helps accelerate those APIs.
