>> Keepalive feature is aimed at achieving Fastpath Service Assurance in
>> OVS-DPDK deployments. It adds support for monitoring the packet
>> processing cores(PMD thread cores) by dispatching heartbeats at
>> regular intervals. Incase of heartbeat misses additional health checks
>> are enabled on the PMD thread to detect the failure and the same shall
>> be reported to higher level fault management systems/frameworks.
>>
>> The implementation uses OVSDB for reporting the health of the PMD
>threads.
>> Any external monitoring application can read the status from OVSDB at
>> regular intervals (or) subscribe to the updates in OVSDB so that they
>> get notified when the changes happen on OVSDB.

Hi Aaron,

V1 doesn't apply cleanly on the master any more. I rebased and posted v2 here https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2017-July/336040.html
I am on vacation and will try to watch my email for further follow-ups.
