Raja, Thanks for the clarification.
BTW, as a related query, why(for what purpose) dpdk kni is used in userspace dpdk vrouter? Since userspace vrouter receives/transmits packet via poll mode driver and then sends/receives to/from VM via userspace dpdk vhost-net, I don't see why KNI is necessary in userspace vrouter... As I understand, KNI is just for improving the performance of the existing applications going through Linux kernel network stack.
