Hi,
I want to use 'rte_kni_alloc()' to create a kernel iface and
use it to test application rx. From the api and example in
'examples/kni/main.c', i saw the 'conf' argument is assigned
with pci info of a dpdk port.
Want to ask if this is compulsory... Must kni always be
used together with a dpdk port?
Thanks,

Hi Alex,
You don't have to associate kni with dpdk port.
pci info is required for ethtool support, if you are only interested in
data transfer, you don't have to provide pci information.
