title: pktgen traffic activity on dpdk interfaces
body: <p>I have two physical machines (Host 1 and Host 2) with two DPDK configured 10G Intel NICs (port 0 and port 1) on each. Port 0 and port 1 of both machines are connected with each other directly. On Host 2, l3fwd is running to enable traffic forwarding between dpdk NICs. On Host 1, pktgen is running as packet generator. </p>
  
  <p>As I start pktgen, both ports start receiving traffic (see the attachment), which I am unable to figure out from where. It keeps happening even after passing "stop " or changing Mac addressed and ip addresses. </p>
  
  <p>Please advice. <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/3u237.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/3u237.png" alt="enter image description here"></a>  </p>
