Hi Neil, Thanks for this and apologies in advance for making more work for you but it would be good to have a short section in the Contributors Guide on how to add/check experimental APIs. I think the information in this cover letter could be repurposed along with a few code and shell examples. Probably as a new high level section in the Contributors Guides: http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/contributing/index.html Thanks, John
