I don't have a problem with this approach. Implementing it would require the DPDK to create user accessible functions for creating MAC addresses, IPs, CIDRs, and TCP / UDP port numbers. Many of the things required are hiding inside of *cmdline* code where it's impossible for anybody to access them. Matthew.
