Hello all,
Is it possible to configure dpdk-pktgen to send traffic on a specified
single selected Tx Queue (and perform transmit only on that queue) ?
For example, specifying queue 1 of port 1 for Tx (meaning all other
queues of that port will not be used for transmit by dpdk-pktgen).
Achieving this by CLI option *or* by typing commands at the pktgen>
prompt is OK for me.
Regards,
Kevin

The short answer is no. Pktgen binds lcores to ports for TX or RX and if you bind one lcore to a port then it will only send to queue id zero for that port. If you bind more then one lcore to a port Rx or TX then it will send on all queues (O - N) as Pktgen does not allow control of a specific lcore/queue.
