**How to setup and test OVS and DPDK at a functional level, it should include following as minimum:**
* provide a proper server: x86_64 with 16GB RAM, cpu core not less than 8, at least one NIC, VT-d supported and enabled in BIOS
* install ovs dpdk, dpdk-tools on tumbleweeed or sles 15 sp5 (OVS-3.1.0 or higher is required)
* enable and configure hugepages as needed
* load the required modules and bind the NIC to the VFIO driver or uio_pci_generic
* setup OVS
* validating ovs is working:
* systemctl status ovsdb-server ovs-vswitchd
* for example 'ovs-vsctl get Open_vSwitch . dpdk_initialized'
* dpdk-hugepages.py --show from /var/log
As extended test plan for DPDK basic functions can be explored later
