Hello
I have the following setup:
Ovs-dpdk is running in a VM.
I have 1 dpdk type port in the OVS (connected to the NIC w SR-IOV).=20
 I  have an LXC-container (or for simplicity a network namespace) in the VM=
 - currently connected to the OVS via veth-pair.=20
 I want to run pkt-get in the namespace -  my questions:

1. I guess I have to run another DPDK instance in the namespace - to run pk=
t-gen on top of DPD, correct ?  (i.e. - cannot use the ovs-dpdk instance ) =
2. How to connect the namespace to the OVS in order to achieve zero copy ? =
(I guess veth is not suitable for that)  - can I use vHost-user netdev or i=
vshmem,  to connet ovs with the namespace ?
3. In cont. to question 2 - what interface should I bind to the DPDK instan=
ce running in the namespace Thanks in advance Avi=20
