Hello,

We use X520-DA2 Intel cards, but we have trouble to purchase them.
We are looking for a good NIC alternative (dual 10G sfp+) with good
DPDK support and good purchase availability. I'm aware of the
supported NICs page [1] but need some advises to choose one of them.

I've found these ones: [2] and [3], with 82599ES and XL710
controllers which are DPDK compliant, but I wonder if these NICs
are *really* DPKD ready (as they did not mention it on the product
page).

Any feedback/advises?

Regards,

Jonathan.
