[dpdk-dev] [opnfv-tech-discuss] [apex][ovsnfv][fuel]Problem showed up with OVS/DPDK with Cisco VIC adapter

[Michal Skalski]

Hi,

Im looking at your fix now [1] as I understand it is only visible when we are using vxlan segmentation right?
Currently Fuel support dpdk only with vlan segmentation, and this is how we deploy on linux foundation pod, so we may not seen this problem yet.
