Hi Christian, As mentioned in my previous email, we want to give Intel based ( 10G ) for the our packet processing so we need dpdk. With dpdk being there i was trying to explore if we can run in non-previlege mode ...
If you are trying to take over PCI HW directly then you need to run privileged. You can get away with not running privileged when using virtual devices, but not actual physical HW. Thanks, Chris.
Thanks,

Venu

What HW are you using is what he's asking. You may not need DPDK
at all, in which case you do not need to run vpp privileged.
Thanks,
Chris.
