In practical use, many scenarios may require distinguishing between inbound and outbound traffic based on matching rules, which would necessitate calling dpdk-dumpcap twice on the same interface. However, it seems that this is not supported at the moment. Additionally, even when using the --file-prefix option, the same limitation applies. The first invocation: [root@xgw-dpdk /]# /dpdk/app/dpdk-dumpcap -i 0000:21:00.0 File: /tmp/dpdk-dumpcap_0_0000:21:00.0_20241227024137.pcapng Capturing on '0000:21:00.0' Packets captured: 108 ^C The second invocation: [root@xgw-dpdk /]# /dpdk/app/dpdk-dumpcap -i 0000:21:00.0 File: /tmp/dpdk-dumpcap_0_0000:21:00.0_20241227024149.pcapng pdump_prepare_client_request(): client request for pdump enable/disable failed EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1 Cause: Packet dump enable on 0:0000:21:00.0 failed File exists
