[dpdk-dev] Need some info on pktgen-dpdk 2.8.0

[Shankari Vaidyalingam]

Hi,


I'm trying to install the pktgen-dpdk.
I have downloaded the latest version tarball - 2.8.0  and following the
instructions for compiling and installing pktgen+dpdk n as given in the
Pktgen-dpdk  page.
But I'm not able to find the dpdk directory inside the pktgen-dpdk folder.
Pls let me know where I can get the detailed installation instructions for
building and compiling the pktgen-dpdk source.
Also would like to know which version  of pktgen-dpdk works fine with OVS.

regards
Shankari

Hi,

Recent versions of pktgen compile against the dpdk source/build tree rather than containing a copy. See the Getting Started instructions here:

Any working version should work fine with OVS.

DPDK is not part of that package. Download DPDK  from the website, 
compile it and then set the variable RTE_SDK to that path. Then, just build pktgen.
