Hi Ashish,

Support for the DPDK plugin with Mellanox cards has been restored on master 
since https://gerrit.fd.io/r/c/vpp/+/30051 
<https://gerrit.fd.io/r/c/vpp/+/30051>. However, I can’t stress enough that you 
should get better performance (and more stability) with the rdma plugin.
Due to the DPDK build itself relying on libibverbs for mlx support, ensuring a 
consistent build of DPDK, rdma-core, and VPP is a bit challenging, and may 
break upon build system evolutions (this is what happened when we moved to 
meson-based build for DPDK). Long story short, please use the rdma plugin if 
you can, it has better support in VPP than DPDK-MLX :)

Best regards

Mohammed
