Hi I'm a master's-degree student and my thesis is about OpenDataPlane (opendataplane.org). I have also a chapter dedicated to OVS, OVS-DPDK and OVS-ODP (OVS-OpenDataPlane). I have read the FAQ "How to Port Open vSwitch to New Software or Hardware" and many articles https://github.com/01org/dpdk-ovs/blob/development/openvswitch/PORTING *Open vSwitch* I think I have well understood the architecture. I have my own image. http://s22.postimg.org/p2ow45nap/ovs.png In the PORTING section, the implementation of ofproto provider has 3 sublayer (ofproto-dpif, dpif and dpif provider). In my image I have only written "ofproto-dpif" to make it simpler to understand. I suppose it is also correct ? *Open vSwitch with DPDK* This part is unclear for me. My image : http://s22.postimg.org/472lswr3l/ovs_dpdk.png 1. Is there a specific implementation of ofproto provider for DPDK ? 2. Where is the datapath for OVS-DPDK ? 3. Is the module openvswitch.ko still present ? If yes, does it interact with DPDK ? * * *Open vSwitch with OpenDataPlane* Do you know anything about OVS-ODP ? (https://git.linaro.org/lng/odp-ovs.git)
It's not mature enough to get upstreamed yet, hence people on this list probably don't know too much about it. From your perspective, it works the same as OVS-DPDK, except the netdev implementation is called netdev-odp, and interfaces with ODP instead of DPDK.
