Hi:

I am new to DPDK. I had been looking at the i40e driver implementation of
DPDK. I see that the code is entirely revamped as compared to the original
i40e-driver.

My query is that is it possible for me to use this i40e driver(in dpdk
source code package) without other non-essential dependencies or in plain
words, can I decouple these components ? I am more interested in the
pollmode driver. My concern was on the jitter introduced by regular
drivers. I did modify the original i40e driver for this, but things did not
work out as I wanted to.

I understand that this driver package depends on various other libraries
that are bundled with the source code. So, could I decouple these
components ( for example; the libraries and the driver module) ?

Any information on this would be very helpful.

Thanks,
Kushal.
