Hello,

I am trying to connect a virtual machine with a openvswitch using DPDK  
for performance, as you can see in the next figure.

+-------------+                 +---------------+

I do not have any problem connecting with 10G NICs, but I do have when  
it comes to QEMU. I am nor pretty sure how to connect qemu with ovs.

As far as I know, I think that I have to use MEMNIC or Ivshmem, but I  
cannot find much information about how to do it.

Could someone explain to me how can it be done?

Thank you in advanced.

Hi.

You will probably have better luck asking on the OVS discuss list:

    http://openvswitch.org/mlists/
