Hi,

Given the popularity of Docker it would be nice if we can run DPDK inside a Docker container but the challenge is the igb_uio.ko and rte_kni.ko kernel modules which need to be compiled with the exact kernel source running on the host.  Are there ways to seamlessly run DPDK with Docker? I came across an articles about running DPDK with Linux container but still the requirement is to insert igb_uio. Any plans to make the igb_uio and rte_kni modules as default modules of Linux source code or any other better approaches/suggestions ? Thanks.
