This likely indicates that Trex failed to start properly, possibly pci address issue or other dpdk related issue. Can you check/share the trex config and trex log which are located inside the container at:
/etc/trex_cfg.yaml /tmp/trex.log (you can use docker cp or simply docker exec <nfvbench> cat /tmp/trex.log) Make sure you have your server is set properly to run dpdk (you need huge pages configured).

Can you check the following: · Check where you stored the nfvbench.cfg file on the host (the quickstart guide suggests to put the file under $HOME/nfvbench) · Check that that directory on host is mapped to /tmp/nfvbench in the container To verify you can also try to cat that file from inside the container (docker exec <container name> cat /tmp/nfvbench/nfvbench.cfg) For further interaction, you can continue on this email thread or you can join opnfv.slack.com #nfvbench if you prefer.
