Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] doc: add note for builtin-net-driver option
Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2018 22:27:38 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180726142738.58543-1-yong.liu@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180725171224.21113-1-yong.liu@intel.com>

Option builtin-net-driver is used to demonstrate how to implement
vhost-user driver based on vhost lib APIs. Unfortunately, very simple
vhost driver in vhost sample is incompatible with QEMU as protocol
feature not supported.
