Description Dominik Holler 2020-11-20 09:30:23 UTC

The experimental support of using dpdk to connect host NICs to VMs was introduced in 2017 into oVirt [1].
The integration into oVirt was improved in 2018 [2].

Currently, it looks like that users never started to use this feature [3].

For this reason the integration of dpdk into oVirt should be dropped.
