Hi, I?m messing around with MoonGen and trying to simplify some basic diagnostics before calling whatever MoonGen script I wanted to call. Right now, I?m trying to find a way to report back the status of a link to see if it?s up so that I know whether or not it can be used as a tx or rx interface for whatever MoonGen script I want to run.
Is there an easy way to do that with an existing dpdk application, or does one need to be an super uber programmer type (which I am not anywhere close to being :)) and write some application to be able to do that? Not sure if it matters, but I?m using an Intel 82599 6 port SFP+. I?m using v2.2.0 (I think? Whatever the version is that is retrieved from git when I build MoonGen), Debian 8.4. Sorry for sounding dumb. I?m not a programmer in the least :( Thanks in advance!
