Re: [dpdk-dev] Questions about vm2vm vhost-user/virtio-net test

["Min Hu (Connor)" <humin29@huawei.com>]

Hi, all,
	I got the answer: testpmd fwd mode should be set "io", then ping
OK.

	IO fwd mode, it will not change packet MAC address info, and
ping OK
	MAC fwd mode, it will change packet MAC address info, like:
	"rte_ether_addr_copy(&peer_eth_addrs[fs->peer_addr],
				&eth_hdr->d_addr);
	rte_ether_addr_copy(&ports[fs->tx_port].eth_addr,
				&eth_hdr->s_addr)"
	Then, ping failed.

	So, everyone, I got one question: how could this happen?
	router change packet src MAC and dst MAC, but ping OK,
	testpmd vhost, treated as switch, also changes packert src MAC
	and dst MAC, but ping failed ?
