Yea. BE support is around for legacy stuff. So I'm not sure it's all that important to support that mode in NFV/DPDK applications. If it becomes important, for virtio 0.9 you won't be able to support transparently in dpdk anyway - you'll need a new vhost-user message to get the endian-ness of the guest, and do byteswaps conditionally, adding overhead. Maybe going virtio 1 only is the sane thing to do for these applications. -- MST
