The first question is what kind of hardware offload do you want to experiment with? Either OVS-DPDK (rte_flow) or OVS-kernel which relies on tc. I’ve used both Netronome and Mellanox connectx5/6 cards with both. I have not tried an Intel E810, but I think it supports TC offload also. Some of the earlier (Intel) blades can do partial hardware offload with rte_flow. See https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2019/01/09/speeding-up-open-vswitch-with-partial-hardware-offloading.
