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.
