The High Performance Networking feature can be used when configuring a UDP, RTP, Zixi, or RIST inputs/outputs by assigning the DPDK-enabled IP, as described below.

**To use High Performance Networking feature in an Input/Output:**

1. Configure a supported Input/Output. 
2. In the **Bind to IP** field, select the NIC with the enabled DPDK (indicated in blue).

Note: SRT inputs and outputs are not compatible with DPDK and cannot be used on a NIC that has DPDK enabled. If there is a second NIC that does not have DPDK enabled, you can use SRT on that NIC.
