Hello,
I have openvswitch compiled with dpdk. The way I installed is posted sundar-ramki/ovs-dpdk.

I have the following questions - 
1. How do I figure out if my VM is really using Openvswitch with DPDK?
2. Are there any counters for packets entering and leaving the switch and/or dpdk?
3. Also, I am unable to use the ofctl commands. Following is what I get - 
[root at test1 ~]# ovs-ofctl show br23ovs-ofctl: br23 is not a bridge or a socket[root at test1 ~]# ovs-vsctl showd8cfc890-a4fc-4398-869c-59c5412a3e79    Bridge "br23"        Port "eth3"            Interface "eth3"        Port "br23"            Interface "br23"                type: internal        Port "eth2"            Interface "eth2"
4. I don't see my interfaces after I bind them with dpdk drivers. How should I attach  my nics to virt-manager in order to start a vm?
Any input will be appreciated.
Thank youSRK
