I don't think INSTALL.DPDK is packaged in any distro, so pointing to that file doesn't help much if you got ovs from .deb or .rpm packages. Perhaps dpdk setup deserves a man-page itself and the --dpdk help could point to that man-page. fbl _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
