[ovirt-users] Re: Removal of dpdk

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 replacement is to use SR-IOV which is supported by oVirt.
