Subject: [dpdk-dev] KNI interface
Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2014 00:08:35 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <036FA1BC4A80D448AB7D9C3AAFBBCAF59F801916@AVMB1.qlogic.org> (raw)

Hello dpdk-dev,
Went thru’ couple of documentation but not very clear to me. Does using
KNI means handing over all the packets received/transmitted by the poll
mode driver to the linux stack or can it be controlled for the control
packets only ? What is the KNI use-case (besides ethtool) and what are the
best options/choices/strategy to use poll mode driver for data path and
linux for control plane operations ?

Thanks,
Harish
