I realized that I was one of those who failed to acknowledge the incredible work the Intel Engineers and other contributors have produced. Please let me acknowledge all of you and your efforts with a few comments: 1) Kudos!!: 2) The Packet Framework made me run around waving my hands in the air yelling: "This is freaking awesome! I don't have to write it myself!!!" 3) The layered architecture is elegant. 4) Examples???? The examples are wonderful! Those who wrote the examples are my heroes. 5) Docs? Clear, to the point, and better than the other projects we depend upon (you know who you are) 6) 6Wind - Thank you for taking on the management of the repository and website - your coordination effort is truly appreciated 7) Did I say the Packet Framework saved me so much time I was actually able to cut back my coffee intake by 10%!!!! 8) Windriver - PktGen!!!!! (though I really want to know more about mcos....) Finally, I recently received a pat on the back for the application I have developed. In truth, that pat should be passed on, since my application depends so heavily on DPDK. Thank you. I encourage others to let the Intel Engineers and contributors know how much we appreciate the time and effort they have given to DPDK. Sincerely, Daniel Chapiesky AllSource
