Hi Mauricio/Gowrishankar, I downloaded latest master branch from github, then it seems this issue has gone away with the same command line I used.
Previously I tried dpdk-socket-mem="1024,1024" like you mentioned, but it was still failed with the same error. Anyway, looks like the latest version master has fixed the mem allocation error which I previously hit. Let me monitor the failure in further master release.

Please use the dpdk-socket-mem option to set the amount of memory for DPDK in the different NUMA sockets, Example: ovs-vsctl --no-wait set Open_vSwitch . other_config:dpdk-socket-mem="1024,1024" Mauricio V, On Mon, Jun 20, 2016 at 9:25 AM, gowrishankar <gowrishanka...@linux.vnet.ibm.com<mailto:gowrishanka...@linux.vnet.ibm.com>> wrote: On Monday 20 June 2016 08:21 AM, Wang, Alex wrote: Hi There, I downloaded the master branch from github and tried to setup OVS with DPDK mode under Ubuntu16.04 kernel_4.4.0-21-generic.
