Arijit, We are using Intel X540 NIC. >> Intel X540 NIC is supported by DPDK.
I'll try with one of them. Which one do you think is best suited for my NIC, How do I ensure that the driver module is loaded in the kernel beforehand? >> You can use uio_pci_generic driver. To ensure that the driver is loaded before you start vpp, you can run "modprobe uio_pci_generic". It will load the driver if its already present as part of your kernel distribution. If not found you can get it by installing linux-image-extra-<kernel-version>-generic package. We want vpp with dpdk plugin. I've just installed vpp using apt-get following the steps on this link : https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP/ Installing_VPP_binaries_from_packages. Does DPDK have to be spearely installed to be able to use the dpdk plugin? >> No, when you compile vpp it creates dpdk_plugin.so which gets loaded if you have specified the plugin_path in startup.conf Hope this helps.
