DPDK itself only provides raw access to network, which means there is
no TCP/IP protocol stack. DPDK only deals with layer 2, not IP protocols
directly.

There have been several other projects using
DPDK which provide network protocols such as the TLDK (part of FD.io).

To understand what DPDK does read documentation and look at the examples.
