Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] app/testpmd: add parameter to start forwarding sending
Date: Sun, 28 May 2017 22:36:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1496007391-182136-1-git-send-email-pablo.de.lara.guarch@intel.com> (raw)
Add parameter to start forwarding sending first
a burst of packets, which is useful when testing
a loopback connection.
This was already implemented as an internal command,
but adding it as a parameter is interesting, as it
allows the user to test a loopback connection without
entering in the internal command line.
