Re: [lng-odp] [API-NEXT PATCHv2 3/5] api: init: driver load function added

2016-11-17 Thread Francois Ozog
Hello, If the north API is the one visible by ODP applications then I don't think it is a good idea to expose that. DPDK exposed it at the beginning and is now internal. That said there must be a standard way to manage drivers fir the benefit of the device framework. I don't think the idea of

If I may complement Christophe answer: the target is to have ODP being able to leverage virtio-net in the VM directly. Today, ODP can make use of virtio-net in a VM through DPDK packet io using ODP-DPDK. Accessing virtio-net device directly from ODP require both a device framework and a driver

Good points Brian. I can add some data point with real life observations of a DPI box analyzing two 10Gbps links (four 10 Gbps ports): there are approximately 50M known flows (TCP, UDP...), may be not active (TCP Close_wait). FF On 10 November 2016 at 08:56, Brian Brooks

Hi Christophe, We are focusing on network devices which have at least network ports. Inventory of devices and ports are two distinct topics as there is no guarantee that there is one device per port. (Intel and Mellanox have this policy: one device per PCI port, but many others have one PCI

Hello, Christophe is working on how we can integrate PCI devices. I wonder if NXP (shreyansh.j...@nxp.com) proposal to DPDK can be leveraged to have a more generic packetio discovery in ODP that couold cover not only PCI but also SoC environments (the proposal can cover DPAA from NXP).

Building on a vanilla Debian following the README.DPDK has not been totally seamless... As I am not fully sure about my workarounds, it would be nice somebody check and corrects the README.DPDK. Cordially, François-Frédéric *git clone http://92.243.14.124/git/dpdk
