Hi,
The odp-dpdk part of http://www.opendataplane.org/downloads/ needs updating:
- The patchworks links should be deleted, as nobody uses it, given that
I'm the only maintainer and the only regular commiter.
- The "latest stable release link" is also very old, and doesn't fit for
odp-dpdk: I only tag the LAST commit which supports a particular ODP
API/DPDK version pair. I would definitely not call that "stable". This
mode of operation has problems, but since nobody is interested to figure
out a better way [1], I kept it. So I want to remove this link as well
- somewhere around the top left corner box, where the odp-linux and
odp-dpdk links are, we should add the following text for clarification:
"odp-linux can interface with DPDK poll mode drivers, but it retains
everything else as generic, including the buffer management
implementation. Therefore it has to copy everything during receive and
transmit between its own buffers and DPDK ones.
odp-dpdk is derived from odp-linux, but it is entirely DPDK focused, and
tries to connect as much DPDK API's to ODP as possible. It uses DPDK
buffer management underneath, so it doesn't need the aforementioned copy"
