Hi Ben,

Thanks a lot for the reply.

could you please briefly elaborate on what scenarios do people use virto-user
- vhost-user ?

I see that DPDK document lists virtio_user for container networking.

I'm referring the following link:
https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/howto/virtio_user_for_container_networking.html

Thank You
Pragya Nand
