+Using DPDK's AF_XDP PMD driver
+------------------------------
+Another way to use AF_XDP is to enable DPDK and use DPDK's AF_XDP
+driver. First, enable the AF_XDP PMD config at DPDK's
+config/common_base file by::
+
+ CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_AF_XDP=y
+
+and recompile the DPDK source. Then, compile OVS with DPDK::
+
+ ./configure --with-dpdk=<patch to dpdk build>
+
+Start ovs-vswitchd and initilize DPDK::
+
+ ovs-vsctl --no-wait set Open_vSwitch . other_config:dpdk-init=true
+
+Finally, assume eth2 and eth3 are the physical NIC, AF_XDP port can
+be added by::
+
+ ovs-vsctl add-port br0 afxdp-p0 -- set int afxdp-p0 type=dpdk \
+ options:dpdk-devargs=vdev:net_af_xdp0,iface=eth2 \
+ start_queue=0,queue_count=1
+ ovs-vsctl add-port br0 afxdp-p1 -- set int afxdp-p1 type=dpdk \
+ options:dpdk-devargs=vdev:net_af_xdp1,iface=eth3 \
+ start_queue=0,queue_count=1
+
+Execute ovs-vsctl show::
+
+ Bridge "br0"
+ datapath_type: netdev
+ Port "afxdp-p0"
+ Interface "afxdp-p0"
+ type: dpdk
+ options: {dpdk-devargs="vdev:net_af_xdp,iface=eth2"}
