I don't have a problem with this approach. Implementing it would require the 
DPDK to create user accessible functions for creating MAC addresses, IPs, 
CIDRs, and TCP / UDP port numbers. Many of the things required are hiding 
inside of *cmdline* code where it's impossible for anybody to access them.
