* There are two open source software switches using DPDK. You could use the=
m
as a reference.

https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs (look at lib/netdev-dpdk.c)
https://github.com/01org/dpdk-ovs

* Packet Framework in dpdk may also be a good starting point.

* At the very least you will probably want to modify the Linc dataplane to =
use
dpdk PMDs

One thing I am not sure about is how you would call DPDK functions from Lin=
c as=20
it is written in Erlang. However, I am not familiar with Erlang.
