[dpdk-users] Question regarding packet availability

[yingzhi]

Hi All,


I'm new to DPDK and would like to ask some quick questions.
We are trying to develop a Load Balance solution that take advantage of ECMP with BGP, so there is a BGP process running on our LB node, and we'd like to use DPDK to improve packet processing performance.
The questions is, if DPDK bind to a interface, can it still sending/receiving BGP packets or I need a separate interface dedicated for BGP? In the later case, can the BGP process still aware of the DPDK bond port's network and announce that network to uplink router?


Any comment/advice is appreciated.


Thanks in advance.
