Hi,
The page describes how to setup an environment that allows testing/developing
vhost-user using ovs (with dpdk) as backend.
A regular pc machine can be used, no need for several hosts, a 'dpdk enabled'
NIC or 1G huge-pages.
The goal is to connect guests' virtio-net devices having vhost-user backend to
OVS dpdkvhostuser ports
and be able to run any kind of network traffic between them.
The page can be found at:
http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/vhost-user-ovs-dpdk
I want to keep it as simple as possible.
If you see steps that can be skipped or unneeded configuration please let me
know
or feel free to update the page.
I gave a quick look and found couple issues. It seems to be missing
the installing steps for qemu. Also the eventfd_link module is only
needed for vhost-cuse, so you don't need to build/install/load at all.
Hi Flavio,
Thank you for reviewing the document!
For some reason I thought we still need eventfd_link to notify the guests
when new packets arrive. Indeed we don't need this anymore, I updated the wiki
page.
Regarding QEMU, can you please point me to the missing setup steps?
(I think I already took care of them, anyway I want to be sure)
Thanks,
Marcel
Thanks for doing that Marcel!
