If you create the VIrtualEthernet interface via the CLI or binary API, it always uses VPP native. If you create the virtual interface via vdev in the dpdk clause in the startup file, it uses dpdk’s vhost-user.
The problem is in DPDK virtio-user that they don’t comply with virtio1.0 spec. I submitted a patch for them. I don’t think they took it yet.

The default one is vpp native. But it cannot work with virtio-user. So I change to vhost-user in dpdk. From: vpp-dev-boun...@lists.fd.io [mailto:vpp-dev-boun...@lists.fd.io] On Behalf Of Saxena, Nitin Sent: Monday, September 11, 2017 1:22 AM To: vpp-dev@lists.fd.io Subject: [vpp-dev] vhost-user stable implementation?: VPP native or DPDK Hi All I went through following video regarding vhost-user. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-ZRof2hDP0 The question is in this video it has been told by default VPP implementation of vhost-user being used and not the dpdk one. Since this video is 1 yr old and I am using vpp version 1704. Can anyone please comment which vhost-user code is by default enabled in vpp1704 - is it dpdk one or VPP native? I can see in vpp-master/RELEASE.md that DPDK vhost was deprecated in vpp1609? Is it fixed now? Thanks, Nitin
