[dpdk-dev] nic loopback

Hi,
I'm trying to send packets from an application to it self, meaning smac  ==
dmac.
I'm working with intel 82599 virtual function. But it seems that these
packets are lost.

Is there a software/hw limitation I'm missing here (some additional
anti-spoofing)? AFAIK modern NICs with sriov are mini switches so the hw
loopback should work, at least thats the theory.


Thanks.
