I see in apt list the package openvswitch-switch-dpdk is available on the enterprise repo. We have 25G Intel E810 nics which support the DPDK and by all accounts, DPDK gives a significant boost in terms of less CPU usage, better throughput and lower latency and especially so with small packets, which can easily be the case with the CephFS.
>>> Is this a supported installation, using the openvswitch-switch-dpdk instead of the standard openvswitch-switch? <<<
I'm keen to use the DPDK for CephFS over our 25G Intel E810 and realize the benefits, but, only if it's a support configuration.
I don't want to implement and then the next patch, or a later patch break DPDK.

Comments please.
Thanks.
