Dear Damjan, As I understood, it was a request to use DPDK plugin with all platforms and I was asked to upstream Marvell DPDK plugin.

We are working now on upstreaming Marvell’s PMD support in VPP DPDK plugin. I’m attaching the patch as well in case you want play with it. 2. Regarding the L3FWD performance difference between MUSDK and DPDK, currently we don’t have numbers with VPP L3FW. We only have the numbers with two different applications. One is our own L3FW application running on top of MUSDK and other is a standard DPDL L3FWD application, so it’s not a fair comparison.
