NetObserv - Sprint 244
DPDK bypasses the kernel network stack, making our eBPF agent irrelevant.
It was brought to our attention that we might still try to support it, by hooking into the dpdk functions. Potential alternative: maybe we could try implementing NetFlows directly in the DPDK implementation?
At this point this is a R&D task, there isn't much I can tell about how to do that.
