The problem is Docker containers expect a system network endpoint, while dpdk gives you a userspace network endpoint.

Yep, DPDK is great for NIC-to-NIC traffic and maybe for VM-to-NIC now that vhost-user exists. But that's leading people to suggest DPDK as the answer for everything, which it isn't.
