[dpdk-dev,RFC,3/3] examples/ethtool: add control interface support to the application
Commit Message
Control interface APIs added into the sample application.
To have the support corresponding kernel module (KCP) needs to be inserted.
If kernel module is not there, application will run as it is without
kernel control path support.
When KCP module inserted, running application creates a virtual Linux
network interface (dpdk$) per DPDK port. This interface can be used by
traditional Linux tools.
