For the record, I have tested this feature as a non-privileged user: ovs-ctl --ovs-user="openvswitch:hugetlbfs" start
With the proper UDEV rules for vfio based devices, I have successfully configured cp-protection=lacp on i40e (Intel X710 NICs) and mlx5 (ConnectX-5 Ex NICs) drivers. cp-protection: redirected lacp traffic to rx queue 1 cp-protection: redirected other traffic to rx queue 0 _______________________________________________ dev mailing list d...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
