[dpdk-dev] Is it possible to have dpdk running with no dependency on a nic ?

[Ymo Lists]

1) I have two apps that need to communicate on the same machine . Is it
possible to have these two apps communicating via dpdk without referencing
a nic ?

2) The apps need to run on an amazon vm. How can you run dpdk on an amazon
vm with only one nic if the above is not possible ?
