1/ Does 'native OVS firewall' mean either kernel datapath or userpace
datapath ?
2/ Pls define 'hybrid datapath' in your context ?

3/ dpdk is not initialized
An info log is also present when dpdk is initialized: "DPDK Enabled -

4/ You are using userspace datapath on this particular node without dpdk
support
Is that intentional ?
