I can't tell if it works (I never really used kni, and kni is a legacy thing even in dpdk). But from a configuration pov, you should add a 'dpdk' type port and pass the right devargs. Something like: # ovs-vsctl add-port br0 vEth0 -- set Interface vEth0 type=dpdk ofport_request=2 -- set Interface vEth0 options:dpdk-devargs=net_kni0 -- David Marchand _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list disc...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss
