Yes, totally possible.VNFs (like EPC, vFW, vRouter, 5G UPF) often rely on DPDK-accelerated OVS (userspace datapath) instead of kernel datapath.You can simulate this by running VMs or containers with SR-IOV VF NICs or vhost-user ports like binding NICs to DPDK-compatible driver (e.g., vfio-pci) and running OVS with DPDK enabled
