Thanks Jesse. How does this work when OVS is running in the user space along with DPDK. Does OVS again send packets to Linux stack for forwarding? I thought the whole point there was NOT to involve the Linux stack.
Asking this since i thought that since eth0 is a part of the OVS bridge, its OVS that actually frames the entire packet and sends it out.
