Thomas, Shahaf, I'm working off master, couple commits after 17.11-rc2 tag. As I'm in early development myself I haven't nailed down to a release yet. I figured the docs aren't completely updated, and that's why I then ended up installing OFED 4.2.
I was previously installing with `./mlnxofedinstall --guest`. I assume the `./mlnxofedinstall --dpdk --upstream-libs` as instructed installs the rdma-core and upstream libs, ? Should I also include the --guest argument, as I'm in a HyperV environment, ? Thank You Both.
