This w= orks fine, but we can't run a PktGen test and a KNI process simultaneously.= Is this a architectural limitation? >=20 > The main goal is, to provide sample line traffic and run services like OS= PF on the same port. Using multiple DPDK processes they all want to init and control the port, s= o it is not going to work. The only way a port can be shared is to use the = primary and secondary processes as multiple primary processes is not going = work here. I normally only run Pktgen as two or more primary process and a = primary/secondary setup would most likely require Pktgen to change and I do= not have the time to work on that version. You can try it and let me know = how it works plus I maybe able to give you pointers on what would need to c= hange in Pktgen. >=20 >=20 > Thanks in advance, >=20 > --=20 > Jan Kropidlowski >=20 Regards, Keith
