I have 4 ethernet interfaces available as PCI devices.

The PCI addresses are known.

When I start my DPDK application, it starts up properly and assigns the port numbers to them as 0, 1, 2, 3 expectedly.

However, is there a way I can force that a particular PCI address should be identified as port 0 by DPDK, another one as port 1 and so forth ?

Does passing the arguments like -a <address1> -a <address2> to rte_eal_init ensure that, or is there any other way, or is there no way ?

I am on 24.03
