Subject: [ovs-discuss] OVS - Userspace packet processing


Hello,

I am running OVS in  userspace (rmmod openvswitch.ko).

I wanted to the entry point for a packet within the OVS code base. I.e which module first 'sees' the packet in pure userspace OVS.

[Sugesh] [Sugesh] Look at the INSTALL.DPDK.md and INSTALL.DPDK-advanced.md for the set up guide.

You can start looking at the lib/dpif-netdev.c. mainly the functions such as dp_netdev_process_rxq_port, dp_netdev_input etc.



Best Regards
Advith
