Thanks a lot. Hopefully fixed.

Me too. Corresponding packet has source MAC from Peer/Tester machine NIC.
It is really strange since prologue disabled LLDP there as well. I'll
try to play with it locally more, but have no good ideas in fact.

This problem is fixed in fresh TE and dpdk-ethdev-ts published on GitHub.
