[dpdk-dev] VIRTIO interface with DPDK in Guest VM not receiving packets

[Abhijeet Karve]

Hi Ajeet,

We already tried setting up dpdk with vhostuser as a network attachment 
option and what we have following observations,

 1st, it's not like we need to turn promisc mode enabled for host to guest 
communication to happen. We can turn them up with specific dpdk 
application arguments if we need.
 2nd, is when we tried cirros 0.3.0, it's found that the cirros 0.3.0 is 
having a bug which clearly ignores DHCP responses. If you try with cirros 
0.3.1 then it will work i guess.
 3rd, is Cirros doesn’t get ip –  root cause – br-dpdk needs to be 
configured with ip and up.


Thanks & Regards
Abhijeet Karve
