[dpdk-users] Does dpdk support a process start as primary & secondary both ? Or is this on a roadmap?

[Cliff Burdick]

No, it doesn't. You can either have primary and secondary or multiple
primaries. Can you explain why B can't be your primary? If you just allow
it to configure all the nic pools that should solve your issue.
