[Rosen, Rami]

Hi, Rahul,

What does "devbind.py -s" show ? and what is the command line you are using for running the forwarding app? 

Regards,
Rami Rosen

Subject: [dpdk-users] Getting started with dpdk

Hi Team,
My colleague and I have been assigned a project on dpdk. We have basic knowledge of linux and networking. We tried to install dpdk on an IBM server with an Intel x86_64 processor (on Ubuntu 14.04) and the hello world program ran without any problems.

The basic forwarding program however, is giving us trouble and it throws an error saying:
The number of ports are not even.
Both the ethernet ports are bound using devbind.py.

Also, both of us have just started out with this project and we don't have a frame of reference as to where to start. It would be of great help to us if someone could help us in getting started and we are trying to get our project moving. We would like to know where to read from and the prerequisites required to deeply understand what happens in dpdk.
Thanking you in advance.

Regards,
Rahul Kishen D
