Hey VPP community,

anyone out there using TRex setup with rdma driver?
The setup works just fine on legacy DPDK drivers, as documented here 
https://fd.io/docs/vpp/v2101/usecases/simpleperf/trex.html

Once switching over to rdma ( as advised for Mellanox cards) I get the TRex 
warning that "Failed resolving dest MAC for default gateway" aka ARP resolve 
failed.

My tested debugging:
- traces show that ARP resolution works just fine within VPP
- set same MAC address to rdma interface as the real MAC
- changing to mac-based TRex config ( xconnect aka l2fwd ) shows same issue, 
but I can see VPP correctly forwarding
- it appears that the host blocks somehow the ARP response outbound ( rdma 
security settings?  Trusted flags missing ? )

existing working cfg for DPDK driver:
