In Pktgen I noticed the vdev after the physical ports and I could not blacklist them as the bonding driver needed them, which caused the bonding ports to have a greater port number. In the case of pktgen the bonding ports were up around 8 or 10 and caused the display to not show the bonding ports. This is really just a usability problem for the developer using Pktgen. I would like to see the vdev devices first, but as long as the drivers (like bonding) are fine with them being first.

The port numbering comes from DPDK and I use that directly, was trying to avoid a translation of real port to Pktgen port :-(
