What do you think about 'rte_flow', it is a powerful tool but complex
and not adopted in same level by all vendors. As it hard to test, we are
having difficulty to provide consistency between vendor implementations.
We can discuss how to spread understanding among various vendors and
users, how to increase adoption, and future targets/plans.


Another one can be 'tooling', as a result of kernel bypass, some known
Linux networking tools does not work with DPDK solutions, and this
creates confusing and entry barrier for some people, this problem
mentioned a few times before.
Perhaps we should address this problem in a more structured way, to
design and later implement gradually some solutions. We can discuss
methods and plans to improve our tooling support.
