Utility to display NIC information #7
Description
DPDK configuration file holds information about the underlying platform in addition to the NIC configuration - eg: number of cores, configuration about a NIC. This information can be read from underlying platform metadata
eg:
curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/network/interfaces/macs/02:29:96:8f:6a:2d/subnet-id
Right now, if a machine has two interfaces (eth0, eth1), we figure out the configuration for eth1 (eg: IP/Netmask/Broadcast/Gateway). However a tool that reads the metadata to infer this information can help.
