[sugchand]

commands to identify userspace tunneling issues in OVS.

Thanks again for the pull request,

I have further comments:

• The script dpdk_nic_bind.py should be invoked before starting OVS, otherwise it will be impossible to see the interface from the daemon. Since this is a step-by-step guide I think we should list the steps in the appropriate order
• KNI refers to a DPDK-specific way of accessing an internal port. The steps listed in the page to access eth1 do not involve KNI at all (they use an AF_PACKET socket on linux and the pcap library on BSD).

Other than this I think the page is a great addition to the website.

Would you mind fixing that and resubmitting?

Thanks
