Subject: [dpdk-users] Running DPDK in a VM
Date: Thu, 4 Aug 2016 10:22:04 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <PN1PR01MB041566092236EA7C9B4736F09B070@PN1PR01MB0415.INDPRD01.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM> (raw)

Hi!

I am looking at running DPDK in a VM, I would like to know if there are any limitations when doing this in terms of any DPDK features that do not work in a VM

The only post I came across for running DPDK in a VM is this: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2013-September/000441.html

As an example, I tried to run the DPDK test suite (DTS, http://dpdk.org/doc/dts/gsg/ ) and see some tests fail saying virtio nics are not supported (Specifically, the ethertype_filter and five_tuple_filter tests give an error: FAILED ''virtio nic not support syn filter''). I would like to know if there are any limitations along these lines when running DPDK in VMs as compared to physical machines/NICS

Thanks!
Vaibhav
