Hello Experts, I am trying to run the following scenario using l3fwd example in dpdk-stable-21.11.2 release . The flow is : VM1 VM2 ns0->tap0->DPDK <---------------------> DPDK-> bind a device with IP The first question I have for VM2: I assigned IP to the device and can see eth and static ip address via 'ip add ', then after binding it to dpdk, I can not see this information via ip add because it is not controlled by kernel module. Is there any way to see ip and ethernet address after binding to DPDK? Is this process correct to assign IP and then device to DPDK? on VM1: After starting the DPDK application, I can see a tap0 device created in kernel mode via 'ip add show'.Then I attached this interface with network namespace via: ip netns add ns0 ip link set tap0 netns ns0 ip netns exec ns0 ip addr add dev tap0 ip netns exec ns0 ip link set tap0 up ip netns exec ns0 ip link set lo up Still, I am not able to ping anything from this ns0. Do I need any other configuration to ping via ns0 to VM2? Sorry, in case I am asking any dumb questions, I am new to DPDK and trying to make the use case work. Any help/pointer is really appreciated.
