Why two interfaces for generator and receiver? #2

Hi,

Sorry, I'm new to the DPDK and PISCES. Please forgive me if I asked some questions apparently.

Could you tell me why both the generator and receiver need two private interfaces? Aren't one interface which directly connects to the OVS enough to enable connection between them?

Since now you have two interfaces, how to make sure the generated packets will not be sent through the private network "gen-rcv"?

Thanks,
