Hello, I am trying to integrate DPDK into an existing application in order to improve packet processing latency, but it is proving rather difficult because of DPDK's dependency on EAL's thread management and bootstrap mechanism. Our application already has its own framework for managing threads and their affinities/priorities, IPC, timers and its own bootstrap mechanism (not necessarily via command line arguments), we wish to integrate DPDK as an alternative network back-end, but it wants to to take over our entire way of doing things.
Are there any plans to decouple DPDK's core functionality away from EAL so that it can be more easily integrated into existing applications? -Jason
