    For the record, I tested the following setup with Windows Server 2019 in QEMU
    (-device vmxnet3) before submitting the patch:

    [ping     ]           [                     ]           [     ping]
    [OS       ]           [    dpdk-skeleton    ]           [       OS]
    [virtio---]--sockets--[---vmxnet3 vmxnet3---]--sockets--[---virtio]
    [Debian VM]           [     Windows VM      ]           [Debian VM]

    Debian VMs successfully ping'd each other with Windows forwarding.

Thanks Dmitri for the testing results.  It will be good if you can try some basic tcp/udp traffic as well.
