Hi All,

Can you help me in finding how the packet in generated in l2 forwarding functions. I am not able to frame the packet. In L2 packet is Ethernet Header alone  sufficient for communication?

Thanking You,
Param

The l2fwd example does not generate packets they are received using the rte_eth_rx_burst() routine and then forwarded to the output port. Just having L2 packet header in a frame should be enough for the l2fwd example.
