We have tested DPDK inside VM in two different ways:
- Using virtual interface. Thus we were able to develop DPDK apps on any
machine.
- Using PCI pass-through. Thus we were able to achieve maximum speed on
DPDK-enabled NIC.

Please check the following blog posts.
DPDK bring-up in VM using virtual interface

Setup PCI passthrough for DPDK NIC

Denys.
