[dpdk-users] How to change IP and port in packet header and recalculate checksum

[Jesper Wramberg]

Assuming you are working on a standard Intel architecture or alike, the
constants you write are stored in little endian.
Network byte order is big endian, so for the UDP port (which is 16 bit
large) your code would be:

udp_h->src_port = rte_cpu_to_be_16(88);

Unless you actually want the port to be read as 22528 by the receiver ;-)
Check out the DPDK byte order API for your other constants.
