This document discusses troubleshooting Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) architecture and OpenStack with DPDK. It describes potential failures in configuring OVS-DPDK, including instances becoming unreachable over the DPDK network. Methodologies are provided for investigating and solving VNF issues, OVS-DPDK failures and performance problems. Solutions involve adjusting MTUs, enabling port security, and changing virtual network device drivers.
