> This patch changes what testpmd uses as IP addresses when run in transmit
> only mode. The old code was using
> 192.168.0.1 -> 192.168.0.2
> but these addresses are reserved for private Internet by RFC 1918.
> 
> The new code uses 192.18.0.1 and 192.18.0.2 which are on the subnet
> reserved for performance testing by RFC 2544.
> 
> New command line option allows the user to pick any other src/dst address
> desired.
> 
> Notice: this changes the default IP address for transmit only.
> It may cause some user who has hardcoded network addresses to report a
> regression.
