Hi Ales,
what do you mean with "not maintained for a long time"? DPDK is heavily developed and make the linux network extremely fast.
I don't think, that SR-IOV can replace it, because packets must be still processed by the kernel, which is really slow and CPU demanding.

The dpdk inside oVirt is not maintained, of course that dpdk as technology/project is still developed.

Hello, we have decided to remove dpdk in the upcoming version of oVirt namely 4.4.4. Let us know if there are any concerns about this.
Can you give more info why we want to remove this feature, and what is the replacement for existing users?
Nir
Sure, the feature was only experimental and not maintained for a long time. The replacement is to use SR-IOV which is supported by oVirt.
Thanks, Ales
