Hello all,

A new project has come into the DPDK community, a tiny tool
named "dpdk-burst-replay" whitch tend to be a "tcpreplay" like
based on DPDK (so, with high performance concerns).

ATM, only few features are available:
- it can replay a pcap multiple times in a row.
- it can replay a pcap on multiple NIC ports.
- and it replay the pcap at maximum bitrate, by pre-caching
   the dump before starting to send packets.
- and at the end, it gave some statistics.

The main tool's objectives are to be simple (it manages itself
all the EAL/mempool/port initialization etc) and to be as fast
as possible.

You can have a look on the README here:
https://doc.dpdk.org/burst-replay/readme.html

And at the source code here:
http://git.dpdk.org/apps/dpdk-burst-replay/

Finally, to fill an issue, use the dedicated bugzilla:
https://bugs.dpdk.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=dpdk-burst-replay


A presentation will be made at FOSDEM this Saturday, for those
who are interested and can't be there, it will be recorded and
should be available next week here:
https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/dpdk_burst_replay/

Do not hesitate to give me feedback!

     contributions will be welcomed! :)
