Hi Team,
I tried to reach out for Windows based DPDK over users@dpdk.org,admin@dpdk.org and windows developers in DPDK. But I didnot receive any reply from anyone. Can you please direct the mail to the corresponding person-in charge.

I am using Virtio-PMD for my custom design in my Linux OS and is operational both in functional and throughput level. I wanted to know whether the Virtio-PMD (drivers/net/virtio) available in Linux; Is feasible in Windows OS?
What changes to be made to support this? If not supported, could you please elaborate the reason?

In addition linux has pcimem/devmem to access PCI resources, Does Windows has similar application?

In https://core.dpdk.org/roadmap/windows/ link shows, the feature supported, but no example where specified. Could you please let me know the tests/workaround performed with this PMD.

I tried to reachout at dpdkwin@microsoft.com for the same, the mail response shows "Your message to dpdkwin@microsoft.com couldn't be delivered". Is this mail id deprecated?

Thanks and regards,
Ayshathul Thuhara
