I think if he's using OTP framework, it has some interfacing for other languages as well, but not sure how efficient it's. In order to keep up with the performance, it's better to evaluate those interfaces first.

Thanks,

* There are two open source software switches using DPDK. You could use them
as a reference.

https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs (look at lib/netdev-dpdk.c)
https://github.com/01org/dpdk-ovs

* Packet Framework in dpdk may also be a good starting point.

* At the very least you will probably want to modify the Linc dataplane to use
dpdk PMDs

One thing I am not sure about is how you would call DPDK functions from Linc as
it is written in Erlang. However, I am not familiar with Erlang.
