Thank you, for the information.
I have a UDPDK stack (with DPDK at the physical layer) for UDP
communication.

I am using VFIO module and binded the 10G X550T NIC to the VFIO module.
Then I wrote a simple server-client code for UDP communication using the
UDPDK APIs with DPDK support, which works fine.
Now, I added the epoll_create, epoll_ctl and epoll_wait commands, and it
looks like it is not working as expected.

Let me go through the l3fwd example and try to understand it better. If I
get any questions, I will get back to you. Thank you.

Regards,
Priya.
