Open Stack

Most of the implementations I have seen for OVS-DPDK mean that the VM side
would also use DPDK.

Because even from a DPDK perspective at the compute level, the VM will
become the bottleneck. 200k PPS with OVS-DPDK + non-DPDK VM is about what
you get with OVS + OVSfirewall + non-DPDK VM.
