This driver is for Google's virtual NIC and the team here at Google is working on DPDK support. We were unaware of this driver until just a few weeks ago.
There are many features missing from the driver currently released and our team intends to make sure this driver support all relevant features of our device (both current and upcoming). Since our team works closely with the team that develops the virtual device, we can proactively add (and test) features before they're made publicly available. Some of these features are: - Jumbo-frame support - A new queue format (that supports out-of-order completions) - RSS support - Flow-steering - Header-split We're grateful to the original contributor of this driver and will closely collaborate with them going forward.
