The v-Routers provide an Overlay Network, only integration point from Networking is the ENI/ENA interfaces on the NF where the V Router
is the next Hop/ Gateway to NOKIA NFs. Underlay and VPC networking constructs are all handled by DISH/AWS and not visible to NOKIA .

DPDK on AWS
Deploying CMG CNF using AWS DPDK
Setup required to prepare the worker nodes to enable DPDK ENA PMD to be used:
• Pre-steps:
• Update kernel and install required packages
• Download DPDK package and Amazon drivers from GitHub repo.
• Install DPDK and the Amazon drivers
• Setup Hugepage memory, CPU isolation and reboot.
• Bind the DPDK interfaces to the VFIO-PCI driver

Apply the following configuration on the EKS cluster:

• Multus
• SRIOV/DPDK
• NetworkAttachmentDefinition

AWS has automated deployment steps as part of their infrastructure bring-up/CICD pipeline.
