Hi Stephen,
              In one of your old patch, you have changed the default IP addresses to the range of 192.18.0.0 citing RFC 5735.

examples/l3fwd: use reserved IP addresses

however, in the RFC, I see the range as 198.18.x.x.  Was this deliberate ? Or, I am misreading?

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5735
198.18.0.0/15       Network Interconnect
                    Device Benchmark Testing   RFC 2544<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2544>


Regards,
Hemant
