Yes.

ofproto-dpif-xlate does the translation for both datapaths, in the same
way.

[ovs-discuss] Lost in translation! OFP to DPDK datapath OVS actions?

2018-01-12 Thread Alan Kayahan 
Hello,

Per my understanding from /ovs-discuss/2015-May/037313.html,
ofproto-dpif-xlate translates OFP actions into Netlink format, which is
useful for datapath actions implemented in the kernel module. Does that
hold for OFP to DPDK datapath actions too? I couldn't find a connection
from ofproto-dpif-xlate to odp_execute_actions. Where does the translation
of ofpact structs into OVS actions implemented in DPDK datapath take place?
