Hi Stephen,
I believe the 1.6.0r2 is baking.
It would be great if you could enhance the vmxnet3 driver on the above with multi-segment support.
Any serious usecase ends up using multi-segment, so would be great if r2 can capture it.
Regards

Hi Stephen,
This is great news !
I can wait for a formal release of DPDK with your driver.
Please let me know when is the release expected. I will happily migrate to that.

I am integrating our driver with the 1.6.1 DPDK driver.
We support multi-segment, if you want I will backport that feature first.
