Wuxp, The first thing is to validate your claim that nothing sent from the VM when VPP is restarted. Start tcpdump and watch nothing is sent from the VM. I assume it happens all the times as supposed to once in a blue moon.
If that is validated, I’d like to see your qemu startup command to see if I can recreate it myself. Did you say your host is CentOS 7.4 or your VM is CentOS 7.4 or both?
