Re: [dpdk-dev] dev@DPDK Hackathon Proposal

["Czesnowicz, Przemyslaw" <przemyslaw.czesnowicz@intel.com>]

Hi Ravi,

 Kilo release of Openstack  allows to use ovs-dpdk with vhostuser. 
Nova includes vhost-user vif driver, and for neutron we have a mechanism driver and agent in stackforge project :
https://github.com/stackforge/networking-ovs-dpdk

The neutron part is hosted on stackforge because of vendor decomposition  going on in neutron.
The contains a devstack plugin and instructions on how to setup the node.

Let me know if you need more information.

Regards
Przemek
