Hi Geeks,

I'm looking for help on OVS implementation, how can I implement a poll
mode thread for my application.

Thread one:
               receive the packets from NIC card directly (Poll mode)
Thread two: 
               Classify the packets  and  represent one packet to
upcall process.

Both threads should be in poll mode because the packet rates from NIC
interface will be very high.

Normal threads create issues in OVS functionality execution.

My device uses it's own dpif-class so I couldn't directly use netdev-
pmd for my application.

- Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Kumar.
