Hi, We are using KVM for loading our VM using e1000 driver for the VM interface. we noticed that the maximum rate (rx/tx) I get is 10Mbps. I am currently attempting to move to virtio driver using dpdk release 2.0. >From the documentation it seems that I have to load my dpdk application with librte_pmd_virtio.so. 1) The Makefile under lib/librte_pmd_virtio creates a static library. do I have to write another Makefile for shared object? 2) there is a known bug regarding application taking control of the kernel managed virtio device, and it seems that there is a patch for this bug only for release 16.04 - is that correct? is there a patch for release 2.0 as well? http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/12462/ 3) I tried to run my application with the librte_pmd_virtio.so which I compiled but the application fails to load the interfaces. is it a known issue in release 2.0?
thanks.
