features:
|
|
- vhost-user reconnect is a new feature of qemu that
|
|
allows a vhost-user frontend(e.g. qemu) to reconnect
|
|
to a vhost-user backend (e.g. ovs with dpdk) in the event
|
|
that backend is restarted while the interface is in use.
|
|
vhost-user reconnect leverages qemu vhost-user server mode
|
|
with ovs-dpdk in client mode. This configuration requires
|
|
ovs 2.6 with dpdk 16.07 and qemu 2.7 or newer to function.
|
|
When qemu server mode is used with older qemu versions such
|
|
as 2.5, vhost-user will still function with ovs 2.6 and
|
|
dpdk 16.07, however, reconnect functionality will not be
|
|
available.
