Well, right now there is simply no way for the user to test/try this functi= onality. Usual requirement for introducing new HW/SW feature for DPDK: 1) provide at least one implementation (exist, cpfl) 2) provide some test cases for it (app/test-pmd, app/test, ...) 3) document it properly - what prog/args are supported for each HW, etc. #2 and #3 are missing completely - which means that for DPDK community that functionality is sort of dead code. TBH, I think it shouldn't be accepted at all at first place in such incompl= ete stage. Konstantin
