DPDK Acceleartion Enhancement - compression

DPDK Acceleartion Enhancement - compression

[Ant loves honey]

Is this the correct forum to ask question about adding code for DPDK Acceleration Enhancement?  Or this is strictly for code review? If so, please direct me to the correct forum.
I have already read these 2 documents:
   
   - http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/ cryptodevs/qat.html
   - http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/ sample_app_ug/intel_ quickassist.html

I am new to DPDK and would like to do some work but is hitting a road block.  I am interested in making DPDK able to to use the Intel QuickAssist Technology for data compression. I think this will help IP payload compression and save bandwidth.
Any help to get me going is greatly appreciated.
Anthony.

If you are going to contribute some code to DPDK, dev@dpdk.org is the right address.
You should ask precise questions with related title, e.g. "quickassist for compression".

We could add a new driver type for compression:
	drivers/compress/qat/
