Do they don't need VFIO configuration [1] correct? Assume that they Intel Server here is mainly acting as a hardware soft-switch is not running any virtualization. Am I correct in my understanding? [1] http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/intro/install/dpdk/ [Sugesh] Yes, You can use the only UIO drivers to make it work Thanks /Shivaram
