> Hello Folks,I've been writing a small application on Ubuntu 20.04 that uses DPDK.  I started with some of the simpler examples such as l2fwd and packet_ordering and added some other function I wanted to experiment with.  I'm getting good packet throughput and the library is working well.  Overall, DPDK is feature rich, easy to compile, and working as advertised.

Great to read, thanks.

> As next steps, I would like to move my application to run on top of a very small Linux image that can be loaded off of a very small flash or even over the network.OpenWRT checks all the boxes for being small, having a lot of network utilities, and supporting DPDK.
> Looking at the documents, the OpenWRT docs is pretty small and I don't see mmay uch discussions about it on the archives of this mailing list.
> I'm asking if people could provide some feedback on writing a DPDK app for use on OpenWRT.
> Is the advertised integration working well?How easy is it to cross compile an app to run on OpenWRT (x86 in m y case)?
> I would welcome any comment on this topic
