Declan,
In all previous series I explained my objection for using the broker
framework for holding the VF rep port.
You guys just waved it away (and sent a new series) instead of really
giving a clear reason why they are required.
I think Yuanhan's suggestion gets ride of the broker model in a cl
Mohammad,
I did not see a v2 change log. did I miss it? please send.
I don't understand who this v2 addresses the comments by Alejandro Lucero

Alex

Can you explain how the application (OVS) is expected to use this API?

Declan, Mohammad,
The submission [1] of steering action between switch ports clearly
requires a switch model in DPDK.
The Port Representor based on a virtual PMD broker on NIC ops
(rte_dev_ops) does not provide the required functionality. Using NIC
terminology and not Switch API's will lead to a d

please excuse me if I missed out of the previous conversation and
