I have a meta-question about DPDK support in tcpdump/libpcap.
The current model where libpcap is a primary DPDK process is not that useful.
Only really usable as hardware sniffer.
The better model would be for libpcap to implement the DPDK pdump API
which has tcpdump (or wireshark) running as a secondary process.
This would allow using tcpdump etc while running any of the many DPDK
routing, switch applications.
The question is should the new code:
be another capture type: i.e pcap-pdump; or just rewrite existing code in
pcap-dpdk?
Is there a maintainer for the DPDK code in libpcap?
It doesn't seem to get a lot of attention which implies it isn't much used.
