Yes, if it gains some interest and fit in the desired scope of DPDK, it may become a library. > As for the examples, obviously there needs to be some example, but perhaps > it is not so critical if they are retained in the present form, at least this > is the only > place I can see to save lines of code. Yes. Maybe we can make some efforts to shrink the size of examples (generally) to make them easy to maintain and didactic.
