(The Sample Application guide introduction referring the merge) The L2 Forwarding sample application is a simple example of packet processi= ng using Intel(r) Data Plane Development Kit (Intel(r) DPDK) which also tak= es advantage of Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) features in a virtu= alized environment. Note: Please note that previously a separate L2 Forwarding in Virtualized E= nvironments sample application was used, however, in later Intel(r) DPDK ve= rsions these sample applications have been merged Thanks, M Jay -----Original Message----- From: dev [mailto:dev-bounces@dpdk.org] On Behalf Of James Yu Sent: Friday, January 10, 2014 8:32 PM To: dev@dpdk.org Subject: [dpdk-dev] send/receive L2 packets from SR-IOV ports using l2fwd-v= f I found that it used to have l2fwd-vf in DPDK 1.2.3 release ( http://www.dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/tree/examples/l2fwd-vf/main.c?h=3D1.2.3) But in the next release 1.3.1, that directory is gone. Does that mean it is= merged to some other tool ? Which tool can I use to send/receive L2 traffi= c from SR-IOV ports. In DPDK 1.3.1r2, to use use SR-IOV ports, should I use l2fwd-vf from 1.2.3 = release or simply use l2fwd ? Thanks James
