Hi,

is it possible to use one worker thread (one lcore) to read packets from
multiple ports?

When I start 2 workers and assign each one  to read from different ports
(with  rte_eth_rx_burst()) everything works fine, but if I assign one
worker to read packets from 2 ports, rte_eth_rx_burst() returns 0 as if no
packets are read.

Is there any reason for this kind of behaviour?

Thanks!

Br,
Newman P.
