I got following error while trying to run TCP example web browser given:

I'm not sure if i changed configure.h properly because I don't know how to find the information asked there and so I kept the default values except for port. Here is my configure.h content:
static const char *ealargs[] = {
"if_dpdk",

if 0

"-b 00:00:03.0",

endif

"-c 1",
"-n 1",

};

/* change PORTID to the one your want to use */

define IF_PORTID 5001

/* change to the init method of your NIC driver */

ifndef PMD_INIT

define PMD_INIT rte_pmd_init_all

endif

/* Receive packets in bursts of 16 per read */

define MAX_PKT_BURST 16

I was wondering how I can pass these parameters to rumpmake when I compile rumpdpdk? Thanks.

If I follow the following command under ./src/libdpdkif after compiling the rump kernel, I have the following error:

$ ../../rumptools/rumpmake dependall && ../../rumptools/rumpmake install
nbmake: don't know how to make dependall. Stop

nbmake: stopped in /***/dpdk-rumptcpip/src/libdpdkif

Do you have any Makefile for Linux? Thanks.

What does the performance look like? And how does it compare to e.g. the performance reported in "Why protocol stacks should be in user-space?" [1].

don't change src ip after two initialize interfaces. I am using dpdk 1.6
Example code:

    rump_init();

    if ((e = rump_pub_netconfig_ipv4_ifaddr("dpdk0",

if ((e = rump_pub_netconfig_ifup("dpdk0")) !=0)
            die(e, "failed to rump_pub_netconfig_ifup ");


    s = rump_sys_socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
    if (s == -1) {
            die(errno, "socket");
    } else {
            memset(&sin, 0, sizeof(sin));
            sin.sin_family = AF_INET;
          #if 0
            sin.sin_len = sizeof(sin);

I modified 'PMD_INIT' to 'rte_ixgbe_pmd_init' and changed 'ealargs' accordingly, but when I launch udp_echo_server, it has the following error:

udp_echo_server: failed to create dpdk0

It seems that rte_eth_dev_count() returns 0. Have you tested with a single ixgbe card?

Just a suggestion - may want to try to initialize all supported devices with rte_pmd_init_all instead of defaulting to a selected single driver (rumpcomp_user.c, line 69).

The rte_pmd_init_all function presents in the latest DPDK version, not sure about the older ones.
