However, when trying to send a packet from tap0 (for instance, a basic ping) and route it to DPDK, the function rte_eth_rx_burst returns zero packets. My initialization is set as follows:

Just an idea.
If you ask for 3 queue pairs, your application must poll packets from
all 3 rxqs, as the kernel may choose to send packets through any of
those queues.
Are you perhaps only polling one rxq?
