Subject: [PATCH] test: remove unnecessary rte_srand
Date: Mon,  3 Jul 2023 11:49:03 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230703184903.51441-1-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)

The random number is already initialized to a better random
seed during starup process. The calls to rte_srand() are redundant
and actually make entropy worse.
