rte comes from dpdk as an acronym for Run Time Environment. Maybe even

*That* is what rte stands for? What a ridiculously generic name. It's
like naming a library Operating System.
This piqued my interest also, with DPDK in the early days it was
targeting bare metal comms systems, so the original API was LWRTE
(LiteWeight Run Time Environment) which became RTE as it moved on from
bare metal, so it seems more of a legacy convention.
