Hi,
I am trying to read packets from one pcap file and write them to
another pcap file,
according to the example in:
http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/nics/pcap_ring.html
The code is built with support for pmd pcap (I have in build/.config:
CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_PCAP=y)
In dpdk-16.04 this works:
I am running:
./build/app/testpmd -c '0x3' -n 4 --vdev
'eth_pcap0,rx_pcap=96pings.pcap,tx_pcap=file_tx.pcap' --
--port-topology=chained
and after pressing enter I see
+++++++++++++++ Accumulated forward statistics for all ports+++++++++++++++
RX-packets: 96 RX-dropped: 0 RX-total: 96
TX-packets: 96 TX-dropped: 0 TX-total: 96
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
and a file named "file_tx.pcap" is generated, and it has the exact
size of the input file, 96pings.pcap.
Next I tried with dpdk 16.11 and it fails to copy the file, but
without an error message.
As opposed to the previous invocation, please note the change to
"net_pcap0", according to the the doc, which is not supported in
16.04.
./build/app/testpmd -c '0x3' -n 4 --vdev
'net_pcap0,rx_pcap=96pings.pcap,tx_pcap=file_tx.pcap' --
--port-topology=chained
What I see is:
...
+++++++++++++++ Accumulated forward statistics for all ports+++++++++++++++
RX-packets: 0 RX-dropped: 0 RX-total: 0
TX-packets: 0 TX-dropped: 0 TX-total: 0
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
And
ls -al *.pcap
shows that the file_tx.pcap size is only 24 bytes (as opposed to the
input file, 96pings.pcap, which is
10776 bytes).
Any ideas ? is it a BUG of 16.11 ? can somebody check this sequence in
16.11 with some arbitrary pcap input file?
Regards,
Kevin
