Yes, it would be easier with dpdk pmd. But I think it would not be
important in the NFV use case,
since the data flow goes to one direction often.

I would say let's don't give up on any possible performance
optimization now. You can do it in the future.
If you still want to keep the copy in both tx and rx, you'd better:
- measure the performance of larger packet size other than 64B
- consider whether or not it's a good idea to do it in vcpu thread, or
move it to another one(s)
Thanks
And what's more important, since you care NFV seriously. I would really
suggest you to draft a pmd for vhost-pci and use it to for benchmarking.
It's real life case. OVS dpdk is known for not optimized for kernel drivers.
Good performance number can help us to examine the correctness of both
design and implementation.
Thanks
