Hello,
I apologize for the imprecise email I sent, and now I try to be more 
specific about what I would like to do.

I have a module that receives traffic from the network using DPDK and, 
based on the packet content, should provide packets to the proper Docker 
container.
Docker containers receive packets through a veth interface.

Can I use DPDK features, in particular the KNI, to send packets on a 
veth interface?
If the KNI is not appropriate, is there something else that I could use?

Regards,

   Ivano
