A simple test guide (on same host) ================================== The following test is based on OVS + DPDK (check [0] for how to setup OVS + DPDK):

The above test guide should probably be added to the DPDK doc files. It could be added to the sample app guide or the programmers guide. There is already a Vhost Library section in the programmers guide and a Vhost Sample Application section in the sample app guide.
Hi Iremonger, You had same ask in my last version, and I was aware of that while preparing this version. The reason I didn't include it is the same as I replied to you last time: it's a very rough test guide; the formal test guide would be with 2 hosts, and also you have to establish a connection to the VM before migration and make sure it still works right after the migration. So, I will consider to add such formal test plan after validation is done from validation team.
The Vhost Sample Application section might be the best place to add it.
I don't think that's the right place: we can't do the live migration test with the vhost-switch example: it includes some hardware features, such as VLAN. Those info would be lost after migration. And that's the reason I choose OVS.
It would be useful to add some documentation on the Vhost Logging feature Itself.
Good suggestion; I will think what I can do for it. --yliu
