Hi Yuanhan,

Thanks for making this release available ahead of schedule - it puts OvS in a good position to upgrade the supported version of DPDK in OvS v2.8.0 (due ~mid-August).

I can confirm that the OvS team has performed selective validation on the following DPDK-dependent OvS features:
	- Jumbo frames
	- vhost NUMA (broken in 17.05 release)
	- Rate Limiting
	- QoS
	- VxLAN tunneling
	- Rx checksum offload
	- Flow control
	- Addition/deletion of vdevs

As such, we're happy to proceed with the 17.05.1 release.

Thanks once again,
Mark
