dpdk-conf.lua

-- configuration for all DPDK command line parameters
-- see DPDK documentation for more details
-- The DPDK EAL Parameters documentation is located at http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/testpmd_app_ug/run_app.html
-- MoonGen tries to choose reasonable defaults, so this config file can almost always be empty
-- Attention when running MoonGen in a VM that also uses another 'virtio' NIC e.g. for internet access.
-- In this case it is required to whitelist the PCI IDs used (one could probably also blacklist all others).
DPDKConfig {
	-- configure the cores to use, either as a bitmask or as a list
	-- default: all cores
	--cores = 0x0F, -- use the first 4 cores

	-- the number of memory channels (defaults to auto-detect)
