Hello All,

I am trying to run dpdk-qat example code in SR-IOV mode. Steps done

by me

quoted

so far are :

The dpdk-qat example app is an earlier mechanism of wrapping a QAT

driver into DPDK - it's not using the cryptodev API, and depends on both a
kernel driver and user-space libs from a QAT package.

Unless you have a really good reason for using this (like you wanted to

use the older Cave Creek device) I would recommend you use the cryptodev
API.

Could we remove this obsolete example?

This is a good point. How can we proceed with this? As it is a sample application,
does it require a deprecation notice?

Thanks,
Pablo
