[Nishant Verma]

Yes, this is for DPDK is designed for. Fast data transfer between two

you can try to run L2/L3 fwd on one machine and pktgen on another machine.

DPDK provide you framework for accessing the packet from NIC. On top of
that you have to write Client/Server Code. You can use open source library
also.
