Re: [PATCH] ntnic: add PMD driver

Welcome,

2016-08-26 13:44, Finn Christensen:
+NTNIC Poll Mode Driver
+======================
+
+The NTNIC poll mode driver library (**librte_pmd_ntnic**) implements support
+for **Napatech NIC** 40/50 Gbps adapters.
+This PMD is implemented as a pure software virtual device and must be created
+by using the EAL --vdev=parameter (parameters are explained i detail later).
+It runs on top of the Napatech NIC Driver Suite that must be installed and
+started.
It would help a lot to describe what is the Napatech NIC Driver Suite,
and why it is a virtual driver.
What is the hardware it runs on? Where can we get it?
Where can we download the Driver Suite?
+Supported Features
+------------------
+
+- RSS (Receive Side Scaling)
+- TSS (Transmit Side Scaling)
+- Promiscuous mode
+- Basic statistics
+
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+Requires Napatech NIC and Napatech NIC Driver Suite installed and
+running in version **0.3.0** or higher.
+This includes external libraries and kernel driver for resources
+allocations and initialization.
So the Driver Suite is just a library to help implementing the driver
for the Napatech NIC?

Thanks for explaining your solution
