hi all,

i was just wondering if there are plans on adding ebpf support in dpdk ?
imho, it would be pretty useful, among other things, in creating generic
(protocol oblivious) match+action support in dpdk based forwarding elements.

thank you

In the beginning was the lambda, and the lambda was with Emacs, and Emacs
was the lambda.

​well, not p4, but more specifically 'protocol-oblivious-forwarding' (POF).
ebpf can describe both match+action rules on dpdk...

There is already a userspace eBPF library, why does DPDK have to (re)invent everything?
