The TEL_DICT could do {"ID", "NAME"}, which like:
"/ethdev/list": {
"0": "0000:7d:00.0",
"1": "0000:7d:00.1"
}
Maybe we could add one TEL_INT_DICT which is int-value pairs, we may get:
"/ethdev/list": {
0: "0000:7d:00.0",
1: "0000:7d:00.1"
}
I prefer the first one, However, the capacity is reduced from 512
(RTE_TEL_MAX_ARRAY_ENTRIES) to 256 (RTE_TEL_MAX_DICT_ENTRIES), but I think it
is enough.
What's your opinion?
