[dpdk-users] Running a second DPDK process that prints the NIC's link status/speed causes the first DPDK process to stop transmitting.

You should read these 2 resources  on how DPDK multi process works:

https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/multi_proc_support.html

https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/sample_app_ug/multi_process.html

and most specifically this one :

https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/multi_proc_support.html#multi-process-limitations

The delivery of interrupts, such as Ethernet* device link status interrupts, do not work in secondary processes. All interrupts are triggered inside the primary process only. Any application needing interrupt notification in multiple processes should provide its own mechanism to transfer the interrupt information from the primary process to any secondary process that needs the information.
