Hi Nova team, I'm writing this e-mail because I'd like to have a discussion about DPDK support at OpenStack Summit in Boston. We have developed a dpdk-based patch panel named SPP[1], and we'd like to start working on Openstack (ML2 driver) to develop "networking-spp". Especially, we'd like to use DPDK-ivshmem that was used to be used to create "dpdkr" interface in ovs-dpdk[2]. We have issued a blueprint[3] for that use case. As we are attending Boston Summit, could you have a discussion with us at the Summit?
