[ovs-discuss] ovs 2.4 dpdk ports

[haris tanvir]

Thanks traynor
Can you kindly elaborate more on the relation between these ports?
Like for instance, do I always need to create port of type dpdk before I create a port of type dpdkvhostuser?
Is a new thread created everytime in case of only type 'dpdk' or is it also created on creating port of type 'dpdkvhostuser' as well?The documentation i found on the web is not very detailed. If you have some other resource on detailed explanation of working of these ports, kindly share that as well. Thank You
