DPDK dataplane
==============
The zebra DPDK subsystem programs the dataplane via rte_XXX APIs.
This module needs be compiled in via "--enable-dp-dpdk=yes"
and enabled at start up time via the zebra daemon option "-M dplane_dpdk".
To program the PBR rules as rte_flows you additionally need to configure
"pbr nexthop-resolve". This is used to expland the PBR actions into the
{SMAC, DMAC, outgoing port} needed by rte_flow.
.. clicmd:: show dplane dpdk port [detail]
Displays the mapping table between zebra interfaces and DPDK port-ids.
Sample output:
