Have you gone through: http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/linux_gsg/index.html ? Or http://dpdk.org/doc as a start point. This is elaborate enough to get you started with examples. If you are facing issue, I suggest putting complete output/error log in mail. And, for "The number of ports are not even.", first place to check would be your port mask. > > Regards, > Rahul Kishen D
