Why does DPDK need to have its own definitions of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses? The structures in_addr and in6_addr exist on Linux, BSD, and Windows. It creates lots of code reimplementation (see inet_ntop etc).
By the way, you can call inet_ntop(AF_INET6) with the rte_ipv6_addr type I introduce here. It works fine.
