Submitting this as an RFC as it is dependent on DPDK v1.8.0 support being added to OVS - that is being reworked at present.
If anyone wants to try this out, they would need to use DPDK v1.8.0 and apply the below patches to OVS (note they cause a unit test failure, hence rework) http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2014-December/049722.html http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2014-December/049723.html Will re-submit this as non-RFC when DPDK v1.8.0 patch for OVS is ready.
