Hi, I wanted to do something like when I'm working on a machine that has an
ixgbe device I can load that driver, but when using machine with no special
NIC, just use a generic "PMD" that would go through the Linux stack. Does
such a thing exist? If not, is there a standard way to test dpdk
applications on servers without a custom PMD?
