DPDK server packets with AF_PACKET driver are not received by the client connected to the same virtual bridge.

[J.J. Mars]

If the nic on docker 1 of echo client can receive replies, the reason
should not be PMD I think.
Did you make sure every field in every layer is completely the same between
eth0 in docker 1 and eth0 in docker 2, and all of them are expected?
