DPDK for several ports #2

Open jmolander opened 3 years ago

jmolander commented 3 years ago

Hi, is it possible to extend the functionality to work for several NICs/ports? And how could this be done?

can you please expand a bit more of the question. There are no limitation in DPDK and by default vanilla build does support for 32 ports (configurable).

Hi, according to the scope and limitation part in https://www.nsnam.org/docs/models/html-old/dpdk-net-device.html, the limitations is in ns3 and not dpdk. I want to connect to two ethernet ports, but not really sure how to do it. Since it was mentioned in the DPDK NetDevice that it is possible, I thought you might have some ideas how to do it or could point me in the right direction :) I just started with dpdk and ns3 so they are both quite new to me, but I have started looking into the dpdk-net-device.cc and the helper code.
