Neha,
I tried this [1] and it works with output like this [2] in the latest VPP
branch. You should follow the instructions in
https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP/Python_API for setting up python VPP module and
running the script.
I will update the wiki with this.
Thanks,

What you wrote is not correct.
DPDK drivers run in user-mode, as part of the vpp executable. To a first
approximation: device drivers use the uio_pci_generic kernel module to map
device registers into user-space. Once that happens, user-mode device drivers –
either dpdk or vpp native –
Hi,
I have a question about DPDK and VPP.
As far as I know, DPDK has some NIC drivers developed for some types of
NICs. These drivers are Linux device drivers that are installed as kernel
module e.g. uio_pci_generic and ixgbe (yes?).
In Linux , kernel modules have the as privilege as the Linux
