Yes, dpdk-vrouter needs its own huge pages. The DPDK library auto-detects the huge pages from the hugetlbfs mount point, so it needs to be setup.

If it needs hugepages then do i have to specify the 1G mount point somewhere in the configuration of dpdk-vrouter or can it auto detect 1G pages and use it. Motive behind the question is some where i read hugepages are needed for dpdk for packet buffering but in my current set up i haven't specified hugepages any where in the config for dpdk-vrouter right now only vms are using huge pages. Thanks for any help. Regards, Kevin
