Hi All,
I wanted to port my intel DPDK kit as LINC switch, could you help me how can i do it.

* There are two open source software switches using DPDK. You could use them as a reference.

https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs (look at lib/netdev-dpdk.c)
https://github.com/01org/dpdk-ovs

* Packet Framework in dpdk may also be a good starting point.

* At the very least you will probably want to modify the Linc dataplane to use dpdk PMDs

One thing I am not sure about is how you would call DPDK functions from Linc as it is written in Erlang. However, I am not familiar with Erlang.
