Hi Ariel, 
yes, the vdpa tool is a part of iproute, and the iproute was already in RHEL-8.6.0-BaseOS-rpms. 
so we don't need to add an extra package for that.

thanks
Cindy

hi Andrea, 
how is everything going now, this feature is very critical for us, 
our vdpa driver depends on this backporting. not sure if this can backport to RHEL86 in time?

Thanks 
Cindy

I'm learning the vdpa and looking for an environment to do the test.
