Hi Stephen,
In one of your old patch, you have changed the default IP addresses to the range of 192.18.0.0 citing RFC 5735.
commit 37afe381bde4277f0078116b8d4d7a315c8e39b3

examples/l3fwd: use reserved IP addresses
however, in the RFC, I see the range as 198.18.x.x. Was this deliberate ? Or, I am misreading?
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5735
198.18.0.0/15 Network Interconnect
Device Benchmark Testing RFC 2544<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2544>
Regards,
Hemant

Good catch, this is a typo in my patch.
198.18.0.0/15 - This block has been allocated for use in benchmark
tests of network interconnect devices. [RFC2544] explains that this
range was assigned to minimize the chance of conflict in case a
testing device were to be accidentally connected to part of the
Internet. Packets with source addresses from this range are not
meant to be forwarded across the Internet.
