Hi,

The Ubuntu dpdk package for 15.10 contains system scripts with functions for reserving hugepages and binding interfaces on bootup:


    /etc/dpdk/dpdk.conf
    /etc/dpdk/interfaces
    /etc/init.d/dpdk
    /lib/dpdk/dpdk-init
    /lib/systemd/system/dpdk.service
    /sbin/dpdk_nic_bind
    /usr/bin/testpmd
    /usr/share/doc/dpdk/README.Debian
    /usr/share/doc/dpdk/changelog.Debian.gz
    /usr/share/doc/dpdk/copyright
    /usr/share/dpdk/tools/cpu_layout.py
    /usr/share/dpdk/tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py
    /usr/share/dpdk/tools/setup.sh
    /usr/share/python/runtime.d/dpdk.rtupdate

    http://packages.ubuntu.com/wily/amd64/dpdk/filelist

If you have the latest version of Ubuntu you can check that out or else download and extract the files from the .deb to see how they do it.

John.
