It is particularly suited to packet + processing workloads that have high throughput and low latency requirements. + All packets follow the same path through the device. The order in which + packets follow is determinted by the order in which queues are set up. + Events are left on the ring until they are transmitted. As a result packets + do not go out of order. + + With this change, application can use OPDL PMD by eventdev api. + API Changes -----------
