Noticed that enabling promiscous mode helps l2fwd application

Can you please describe problem more? Why interface has to be in
promiscuous mode?
We will set the destmac(to the interface's mac) on all the packets
that egress out of ixia ports(and that is why it was working there),
but incase of pktgen-dpdk destmac was set to the counterpart's
destmac(different one and not the receiving interface's mac). Due to
this, interface was dropping all the packets. Tried to figure out a
way to set the destmac in pktgen-dpdk, for some reason that was not
working.
Ok, looks reasonable. Can you please refine patch description?
Thanks,
Maxim.
