transmission.
-l 2,3:CPU cores ID 2,3 are dedicated for the l3fwd program, and how they are
bound to NIC ports will be assigned within parameter "--config".
-n 3: memory channels = 3
-w 03:00.0 -w 04:00.0: i.e. PFA of port 3 and port 4
--socket-mem=512: The huge page was assigned as 2048MB in Step 2. Allocate 512MB for
l3fwd program as the other 512 MB had been reserved for pktgen
program.
--file-prefix=l3fwd: As pktgen and l3fwd use the same DPDK engine, we need to assign a
prefix label to make DPDK engine to differentiate them.
-p 0x3: enabled port mask
--config="(0,0,2),(1,0,3)": Map queue 0 from port 0 to CPU lcore 2, and so on.
