Thanks Thomas, When you analyze the "huge" codebase it breaks into 3 parts:=20 1. A common l-thread subsystem ( ~2Kloc )=20 2. An l3fwd derived example ( ~2Kloc) 3. An hello world example pthread shim ( ~700loc ) If there is interest in lightweight threads the hope/expectation is that th= e l-thread subsystem would become an rte library. On the scale of things I would descr= ibe=20 it as an average sized lib in DPDK terms. As for the examples, obviously there needs to be some example, but perhaps= =20 it is not so critical if they are retained in the present form, at least th= is is the only place I can see to save lines of code.
