[dpdk-dev] [dpdk-announce] librte_pmd_vmxnet3 for VMware ESXi

[Thomas Monjalon]

All,

Following many requests, 6WIND is releasing the source code of our 
librte_pmd_vmxnet3 under a BSD license.

It is available at:
	http://dpdk.org/browse/vmxnet3-usermap/snapshot/vmxnet3-usermap-1.0.tar.gz
	git://dpdk.org/vmxnet3-usermap

It allows running any DPDK application into a Linux ESXi guest using the 
vmxnet3 channels with ESXi virtual bridges. It has been mainly used with 
testpmd and the 6WINDGate's fast path.

It uses the new dynamically loadable PMD framework that was recently 
released into the DPDK:
	testpmd [..] -d librte_pmd_vmxnet3.so [..]

More information and documentation are available into:
	http://dpdk.org/browse/vmxnet3-usermap/tree/README.rst
