[dpdk-dev] Running DPDK application with non-previlege mode

[Kamaraj P]

Hi Thomas,
We are trying with the IGB_UIO driver in our DPDK application.
Is there any documentation where we need to start to run a DPDK application
with minimal system capability?
Also please let us know if there is any known dependency with DPDK versions
(dpdk application with 18, 19.11 versions etc) when we run with sys capabilit.


Hi David,
Can you please share with us the pointer for OVS integration(DPDK running
as non-privileged mode ?)

Thanks,
Kamaraj
