Hi Folks,,
I'm anxious to get support for DPDK 17.11 into OVS with DPDK for the 2.9 release.
I'm going to propose a pull request as of next week including this patch set, I would like to see people test their features in terms of compatibility before then and review the patch.
I know from the Intel side there has been extensive testing. There has also been a sign off as regards dev and integration testing from Red Hat.
I will raise this as an item at next week's community sync meeting. Would appreciate any feedback between now and then.
Thanks
Ian
