Hi Dan, Intel DPDK release notes(1.5.2) mention the following tested OS -- * Fedora release 18 * Ubuntu* 12.04 LTS * Wind River* Linux* 5 * Red Hat* Enterprise Linux 6.3 * SUSE Enterprise Linux* 11 SP2
I have personally used Fedora 18 and it works fine for me for virtualization including SRIOV and pass through as well as virtio with KNI backend. So I am tending to stick to Fedora 18. I don't know why is CentOS not tested and mentioned in release notes.

I'm wondering if anyone has recommendation. We run the DPDK application in a virtualized environment. Currently, we configure NICs in pass-through mode which gives the best performance. In the future, we plan to use DPDK with paravirtualized nics (eg. vmxnet3-usermap). Thanks.
