<p>Hello everybody,</p>
<p>It's the first time that I'm posting on this mailing list so I
hope it's the correct place for my questions.<br>
Otherwise please correct me.</p>
<p>I'm trying to generate some traffic using Pktgen-DPDK and sending
it to BBDev.<br>
Following what is described in:<a href="https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/sample_app_ug/bbdev_app.html" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">
https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/sample_app_ug/bbdev_app.html</a><br>
But I'm facing some issues. Mostly because I'm new to DPDK in
general and I'm learning<br>
how to use this tools.</p>
<p>I've installed and configured all the software without much
problems and when I run the<br>
following command I can see the statistics from BBDev displayed on
video:<br>
"sudo -E ./dpdk-23.11/build/examples/dpdk-bbdev_app --log-level
lib.eal:debug \<br>
--vdev='baseband_turbo_sw,max_nb_queues=8,socket_id=0' \<br>
--vdev=net_tap0,iface=foo0 \<br>
-c 0x38 --file-prefix=bbdev -- -e 0x10 -d 0x20"<br>
<br>
I've substituted the "-a <NIC0PCIADDR>" from the tutorial
with a virtual interface because<br>
I don't have other nic cards that DPDK can acquire.</p>
<p>On the other side I run Pktgen-DPDK as suggested in the
guidelines, again swapping <br>
"<NIC1PCIADDR>" with a virtual one, as follows:<br>
"sudo -E ./Builddir/app/pktgen -c 0x3 --file-prefix=pg
--vdev=net_tap1,iface=foo1 -- -m 1.0 -P -T"</p>
<p>But now I do not understand how I can generate traffic towards
BBDev.<br>
I've looked into the documentation of both BBDev and PktGen but I
cannot wrap my head<br>
around it. <br>
I would really appreciate any kind of suggestion, also material
and references to look into<br>
that can help me to connect this two components.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for the help, best regards,<br>
Mattia<br>
