Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] dts: introduce abstract class for TG and SUT DPDK runtime environments
Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2025 12:17:18 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4a3540f3-7756-4300-b62c-405b20c8f4fa@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250808182152.356879-1-abailey@iol.unh.edu>

I am not sure where these changes stem from. From my understanding, this 
enforces the creation of a DPDK environment for the TG, regardless if 
it's needed or not.

The only scenario I can think of this being useful is when paired with 
T-Rex. But like I've mentioned before, since the TG node is managed by 
the traffic generator class, I don't see why DTS should concern itself 
to setting up DPDK on the TG.

Logically, what I am thinking is that if T-Rex has an underlying DPDK 
requirement, then it should be the duty of the T-Rex Traffic Generator 
class to manage this. This behaviour should be agnostic to the overall 
test run, who should only care about our DPDK testing environment and a 
traffic generator.

Please let me know if I am missing something.
