Does ping-pong in pkt-gen.c example code work in linux environment?
Ref: http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/doc/20120813-netmap.tgz

I am trying to measure the netmap performance by having the interace
doing both tx and rx. I thought ping-pong test will help. Unfortunately,
that doesn't work in linux environment. Btw, I am using Ubuntu 12.4 LTS.
Is there any latest netmap code for linux?

Dear Ashokar,

I am also using Ubuntu 12.4 LTS with linux kernel version 3.2.0-32.51. I wrote some sample programs for testing the transmission and Receiving of packets. Although, my transmit function works fine, there are few problems with Rx function. On debugging, I found that issue lies withing netmap code (not my example code).

I think that your ping pong does not work because of the same problem (However, it is just a guess). I might be able to help you, if you can send me the details of problem.

Hello, tahir.

I have the same problem when I'm trying to use pkt-gen as ping-pong test. Could you give me an advice what I should do to fix that problem?

I use Ubuntu 13.04 with 3.8.0 kernel

Hi Tahir,
I'm currently doing a research and need to use netmap in it. Unfortunately I am not a network student. So I am having difficulties in getting started.I am working on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. And my wired NIC is
"Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20)".
Wireless: "Atheros AR9002WB-1NG Wireless Network Adapter".

1.) Can netmap be used with my NIC (I didn't see it in the list tho :( )?
2.) Can it be used with wireless network? (Because I was trying to set up Intel DPDK before and found out that it only supports wired network. And it didn't have support for my NIC and that's how ended up here.)
3.) Could you please help me to set up netmap on my machine?
