Since what seems to happen is that dpdk binds to the ethernet device, what would be its IP address? For example how would I send a ping from one computer to my server with dpdk binded to the NIC? Would I send a packet with only MAC address and dpdk binded NIC would pick it up and move the packet up to dpdk and then to the user space? Just kind of confused how that works. I would be grateful for any help! Peter --089e0115f11268d01d04dfdf3048 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
