Hi Ben, You are right, we briefly discussed this at ovscon; in-person meeting sounds as a good way to progress. Venu/Girish/myself are available next Wed - will this work for you? We can come over to VMware campus, or host the meeting here at Nvidia (Santa Clara HQ, San Tomas and Walsh) to discuss the use case in more details (other use cases like NFV should be able benefit too), and perhaps demo the proposed code changes. Please pick the time/place and let us know. Best, Leonid
