Hello,
I have a server which has two NUMA nodes and I want to host many small size
virtual machines on this server. Is it possible to provide network
connectivity for all virtual machines even if they are scheduled to run on
a different NUMA node that the DPDK enabled NIC connected?

According to the following link some virtual machines may be disconnected
if they are scheduled on different NUMA nodes, but the post is a bit old,
do you know the current status of OVS+DPDK with single NIC and multiple
NUMA nodes?

If pmd-cpu-mask is set, OVS-DPDK will poll DPDK interfaces with a core of
it that is on the same NUMA node as the interface. If there are no cores in
pmd-cpu-mask for a particular  NUMA node, physical NICs or VMs on that NUMA
node cannot be used.

Regards,
