cannot send udp packets

[zhangxz18]

I'm trying to complie and run Caladan with an easy udp-send application. The application is modified from apps/bench/netbench_udp.cc by just calling udp_send() in the RunExperiment() function. I run the app in server A, and run tcpdump in the server B. However, server B cannot capture any packet from server A. Any idea on how to resolve the problem? Thank you for your time and effort.

Environment CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 NIC: Intel XL710 Ubuntu 20.04.1 with kernel 5.15.0 The NIC binds to vfio-pci. The two NICs in the two servers are connected directly.

More details I have read the packet from rte_mbuf in tx_burst, the packet is valid. The eth_rte_tx_burst return a right value. I write another app with pure dpdk. I construct an identical packet, and send it by the rte_eth_tx_burst. Server B can receive the packet.

The configuration file

host_addr 192.168.40.233
host_netmask 255.255.255.0
host_gateway 192.168.40.1
