As per the requirements, DPD= K is the best way to achieve this. Though I have seen few designs and sources that talk about dpdk pf drivers,= I am interested to know if such a driver with pf-only support and which do= esn't involve virtual functions will be allowed to upstream into DPDK sourc= es. Thanks, Sameera
