Hi,
I am trying to ping a remote machine (within the same network) via port 0
using the command
Pktgen> ping4 0
But the packet that is received on the remote machine is not a ping packet.
Upon investigation using dpdkcap (https://github.com/dpdkcap/dpdkcap) and
tcpdump, the packet
dpdkcap output:
reading from file output_01.pcap, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet)

-------------------
On the sender side (using pktgen-dpdk) apart from setting the usual source
and destination ip addresses and mac addresses, I am setting
pktgen.icmp_echo("all", "on");
pktgen.send_arp("all", "g");
via a lua script file. The burst size is 10.
I am trying this on VMs with 'Virtio network device' as the NIC and using
igb_uio driver.
I have no idea why I am unable to send ping packets. Can anyone guide me as
to what I am doing wrong, or why this issue might be coming?
Thanks!

This command only enables processing incoming ICMP echo packets. This is the ‘E’ flags value above.
> pktgen.send_arp("all", "g”);
This one only sends a single ARP packet.
If you are trying to send multiple ping or ICMP echo request packets then you need to construct a packet in the sequence page ‘page seq’. What is being sent is the single mode packets you see on the first page.
It also looks like you have Range packets enabled, did you configure the range packets via ‘page range’?

I understand it is to enable the replies to ping requests. Added it here
just for information, in case it affects the outgoing ping requests.

Yes. I added this piece of information just in case it affects the outgoing

Yes, I have configured the range feature, using a lua script. Below is the
relevant code snippet for the same.
function setup()
pktgen.set("all", "count", 0);
pktgen.set("all", "pps", tonumber(pps)); -- custom change to
pktgen-dpdk source to support setting pps directly.
pktgen.set("all", "size", tonumber(packetSize));
pktgen.set("all", "burst", tonumber(burst));
pktgen.set("all", "sport", 0x1234);
pktgen.set("all", "dport", 0x5678);
pktgen.set("all", "prime", 1);
pktgen.set("all", "seqCnt", 0);
pktgen.range.vlan_id("all", "start", tonumber(vlanid));
pktgen.range.vlan_id("all", "inc", 0);
pktgen.range.vlan_id("all", "min", 1);
pktgen.range.vlan_id("all", "max", 4094);
pktgen.range.pkt_size("all", "start", tonumber(packetSize));
pktgen.range.pkt_size("all", "inc", 0);
pktgen.range.pkt_size("all", "min", 64);
pktgen.range.pkt_size("all", "max", 1518);
pktgen.set_mac("all", dstmac);
pktgen.set_ipaddr("all", "dst", dstip);
pktgen.range.dst_ip("all", "start", dstipStart);
pktgen.range.dst_ip("all", "inc", dstipInc);
pktgen.range.dst_ip("all", "min", dstipMin);
pktgen.range.dst_ip("all", "max", dstipMax);
pktgen.range.dst_port("all", "start", dstportStart);
pktgen.range.dst_port("all", "inc", dstportInc);
pktgen.range.dst_port("all", "min", dstportMin);
pktgen.range.dst_port("all", "max", dstportMax);
pktgen.set_ipaddr("all", "src", srcip.."/24");
pktgen.range.src_ip("all", "start", srcipStart);
pktgen.range.src_ip("all", "inc", srcipInc);
pktgen.range.src_ip("all", "min", srcipMin);
pktgen.range.src_ip("all", "max", srcipMax);
pktgen.range.src_port("all", "start", srcportStart);
pktgen.range.src_port("all", "inc", srcportInc);
pktgen.range.src_port("all", "min", srcportMin);
pktgen.range.src_port("all", "max", srcportMax);
pktgen.range.dst_mac("all", "start", dstmac);
pktgen.range.dst_mac("all", "inc", dstmacInc);
pktgen.range.dst_mac("all", "min", dstmac);
pktgen.range.dst_mac("all", "max", dstmac);
pktgen.send_arp("all", "g");
pktgen.icmp_echo("all", "on");
pktgen.set_range("all", "on");
end

The range packets and single mode packets use different buffers. The ping4 command uses its own buffers based on the single mode configuration. The single mode config is when all of the other modes are disable or the default configuration. The information to config the single mode packets is the ‘page main or page 0’ screen. The ping4 will construct a packets based on single mode config only. The ping4 will only send a single packet and you would have to call ping4 multiple times to send more then one.
The range packets will allow a set of packets to be sent on a given port. The sequence mode which is yet another set of buffers allow you to construct a set of packets for a port. These are enabled with the seqCnt set to non-zero value and use the ‘page seq’ or lua code to construct the frames. It would be good to load the lua script and then verify with the page seq command. The ‘port N’ command will should you the port for range and sequence packets.
So the ping4 only works with the single mode configuration and not any others. Not sure other then PCAP file you are going to get the results you want, unless you are only needing to determine the route and ARP entries are filled with the ping command. The prime command just sent out a short burst of packets in an attempt to get the ARP entries filled before sending huge amount of traffic.

I was unaware that the ping command uses its own buffer. I was expecting my
configuration via the range command to work for ping too. Thanks for this
information! Worked for me.
The range packets will allow a set of packets to be sent on a given port.
