[dpdk-users] middlebox using dkdp

[Adrian Duralia]

Thank you for the response!
While I'm not scared to add a lot of code in the app side, I wouldn't like
to reinvent the wheel. So, is there any framework or library that you think
it would be more appropiate to create a middlebox?

Thank you,
Adrian
