Hi All,

I saw this explanation for using -no-hugepage option.
http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2016-November/050109.html

>* When using --no-huge, the dpdk libraries (including mempool) allocate
*>* its memory in standard memory. Just keep in mind the physical addresses
*>* will be wrong, so this memory cannot be given to hw devices.*

http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2016-November/050109.html
Does -no-hugepage option affects any of the examples applications in DPDK
site.?
Please help me to understand the use-case of 'memory given to hw devices'
scenario..

thanks in advance
