Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 07/10] event/dsw: add load balancing to the DSW event device
Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2018 14:45:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180918124514.10615-8-mattias.ronnblom@ericsson.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180918124514.10615-1-mattias.ronnblom@ericsson.com>

The DSW event device will now attempt to migrate (move) flows between
ports in order to balance the load.
