In addition to the requirements described in :doc:`general`, building Open
vSwitch with DPDK will require the following:
-- DPDK 17.11.3
+- DPDK 17.11.4
- A `DPDK supported NIC`_
#. Download the `DPDK sources`_, extract the file and set ``DPDK_DIR``::
$ cd /usr/src/
- $ wget http://fast.dpdk.org/rel/dpdk-17.11.3.tar.xz
- $ tar xf dpdk-17.11.3.tar.xz
- $ export DPDK_DIR=/usr/src/dpdk-stable-17.11.3
+ $ wget http://fast.dpdk.org/rel/dpdk-17.11.4.tar.xz
+ $ tar xf dpdk-17.11.4.tar.xz
+ $ export DPDK_DIR=/usr/src/dpdk-stable-17.11.4
$ cd $DPDK_DIR
#. (Optional) Configure DPDK as a shared library
DPDK sources to VM and build DPDK::
$ cd /root/dpdk/
- $ wget http://fast.dpdk.org/rel/dpdk-17.11.3.tar.xz
- $ tar xf dpdk-17.11.3.tar.xz
- $ export DPDK_DIR=/root/dpdk/dpdk-stable-17.11.3
+ $ wget http://fast.dpdk.org/rel/dpdk-17.11.4.tar.xz
+ $ tar xf dpdk-17.11.4.tar.xz
+ $ export DPDK_DIR=/root/dpdk/dpdk-stable-17.11.4
$ export DPDK_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
$ export DPDK_BUILD=$DPDK_DIR/$DPDK_TARGET
$ cd $DPDK_DIR
