[dpdk-users] distributor example

Hi, all!

Recently, I have been interested in DPDK and run its distributor example.
But I found I could never get the result that more than four logic
cores work as workers simultaneously, even though I gave enough. The print
messages (one example) were as follows:

RX Thread:
Port 0 Pktsin :  1.19
Port 1 Pktsin :  0.00

Worker 07 Pkts:  0.00. Bursts(1-8): 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

I ran the distributor example of DPDK 17.08 on CentOS 7. I used another
Ubuntu 16.04 installed with the MoonGen to send packets with different tx
rates to CentOS.

Anybody knows what I might have missed?

Thanks in advance!
