[dpdk-stable] [PATCH] app/testpmd: fix txonly flow generation entropy

[Viacheslav Ovsiienko <viacheslavo@mellanox.com>]

The testpmd application in txonly forwarding mode has an option
to generate the packet flows by varying the destination IP address.
The patch increments the IP for each packet sent, this improves
the entropy and RSS distibution on the peer receiving size
is getting more uniform.

Fixes: 82010ef55e7c ("app/testpmd: make txonly mode generate multiple flows")
