From fdfd540284e31d9349173285619f5927aa8fc057 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Klozik Date: Thu, 5 May 2016 14:59:32 +0100 Subject: dpdk: Support new way of DPDK configuration in ovs-vswitchd Configuration of DPDK options in ovs-vswitchd has changed. Previously used option --dpdk was deprecated and all DPDK related options have to be configured through ovsdb via ovs-vsctl calls. VSPERF was modified to detect and use correct version of DPDK configuration. New configuration options should be put into VSWITCHD_DPDK_CONFIG dictionary. VSPERF classes specific to OVS were refactored.
