In a typical setup, the network overlay tunnel is terminated at the Virtual/Tunnel End Point (VEP/TEP).
The TEP is normally located at the physical host level ideally in the software switch.
Due to processing constraints and the inevitable bottleneck that the switch
-becomes the ability to offload overlay support features becomes an important requirement.

+IntelĀ® XL710 10/40 Gigabit Ethernet network card provides hardware filtering
and offload capabilities to support overlay networks implementations such as MAC in UDP and MAC in GRE.
Sample Code Overview
.. code-block:: console
- CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_VHOST=n
+ CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_VHOST=y
vhost user is turned on by default in the configure file config/common_linuxapp.
To enable vhost cuse, disable vhost user.
.. code-block:: console
- CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_VHOST_USER=y
+ CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_VHOST_USER=n
After vhost is enabled and the implementation is selected, build the vhost library.
