Thanks for reply,

I am using Openstack-Ansible deployment tool to run Openstack. I am
running a stable/ussuri release at the moment. current OVS package
coming from rdo-dep repository of Ussuri release. It would be great if
we have openvswitch+DPDK supported RPM for that repo, otherwise i am
stuck here and i have to re-compile RPM myself and need to pushout
with a custom repo.  (Does victoria going to support the DPDK version
of openvswitch?)

[root at compute-1 SPECS]# ovs-vswitchd --version
ovs-vswitchd (Open vSwitch) 2.12.0
