I=92m deciding between Debian 7.3 (3.2.0 kernel) and CentOS 6.5 (2.6.32 =
kernel) for production. I=92m wondering if anyone has recommendation. We =
run the DPDK application in a virtualized environment. Currently, we =
configure NICs in pass-through mode which gives the best performance. In =
the future, we plan to use DPDK with paravirtualized nics (eg. =
vmxnet3-usermap). Thanks.
