The attribute type can assume the values

  • ethernet
  • wifi

This information is exploited as follows in the universal node, according to the vSwitch used:

  • xDPd:
    • the UN assumes that ethernet ports are supported by DPDK, and then directly connects such ports to xDPd
    • the UN assumes that wifi ports are not supported by DPDK, and then
      • crates a KNI port on xDPd
      • creates a Linux bridge
      • both the wifi port and the *KNI are connected to the Linux bridge
  • OvS:
    • all the ports are directly connected to OvS

The behavior just described is not completely correct:

  • some ethernet ports are not supported by DPDK, and hence xDPd
  • in the future, DPDK may support wifi ports as well

The proposal is then to replace the type attribute with something smarter.
