+ <p>
+ By default OVS DPDK uses a shared memory model wherein devices
+ that have the same MTU and socket values can share the same
+ mempool. Setting this value to <code>true</code> changes this
+ behaviour. Per port memory allow DPDK devices to use private
+ memory per device. This can provide greater transparency as
+ regards memory usage but potentially at the cost of greater memory
+ requirements.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Changing this value requires restarting the daemon if dpdk-init has
+ already been set to true.
