The list of PMDs is increasing: librte_pmd_af_packet librte_pmd_bond librte_pmd_e1000 librte_pmd_enic librte_pmd_i40e librte_pmd_ixgbe librte_pmd_pcap librte_pmd_ring librte_pmd_virtio librte_pmd_vmxnet3 librte_pmd_xenvirt There is already some sub-trees for bnx2x, fm10k and i40e: http://dpdk.org/browse/ > If you could set me up with a login to dpdk.org, I'd appreciate it. It is preferred to have 1 sub-tree per module. What do you think of managing contributions for af_packet and/or virtio? It would make sense as virtio is a RedHat technology. Maybe it could include vhost lib and example. Thanks for proposing -- Thomas
