This document summarizes a presentation about dynamic network function virtualization (NFV) deployment using port hotplug and virtio. It discusses the current status of port hotplug support in DPDK, including which physical and virtual network device drivers (PMDs) support it. It then outlines how NFV could be deployed dynamically using software switches, port hotplug, virtual network interfaces, and containers or VMs. Current limitations are noted, such as the lack of a PMD for NFV ports and denial of reconnection if the software switch restarts. The document concludes that upcoming DPDK releases will address some issues by adding a "vhost PMD" and container support, but denial of reconnection will still
