When you suggest af_packet port, I suppose you mean netdev-afxdp ports. My initial reason for plugging net/tap was to have a way to test DPBUF_DPDK dp-packets through OVS. Testing with netdev-dpdk only ports should also be closer to deployments of ovs-dpdk, rather than a mix of kernel netdev and dpdk ports with the userspace datapath. -- David Marchand _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
