I have a host running ubuntu 16.04 xenial and several docker containers in it running the same OS image (ubuntu 16.04). I amutilizing openvswitch on the host.  I have 32 queues per port in the application.  I am able to add queues in openvswitch as follows:
ovs-vsctl set Interface vhost-user4 options:n_rxq=32ovs-vsctl set Interface vhost-user4 options:n_txq=32
But I am not able to figure out how to add flows that will direct traffic to specific queues. So for eg, traffic should go from queue0 to queue0and from queue30 to queue30 and so on for each of the ports in the switch …

has anyone tried to make multiple queues work with VIRTIO utilizing openvswitch?
the add-flow command in ovs-ofctl doesn't seem to match on input queue number, but it does let you enqueue to an output queue .. also I amnot using qemu and not planning to do so either ...
any suggests?
thanks

For example dpdk-latest-major and dpdk-latest-stable, would automatically update and point to the most recent date major and stable releases respectively. This would be useful for our tests as they would always be testing the latest packages automatically.

I am not sure how useful it is.
When you change from one major version to another one,
you often have to adapt your code, so it cannot be automatic.

I see more values in having a link for the latest version of each stable branch.
