二层转发和普通的端口转发有什么区别呢？简单来说有几个：

特点	L2fwd	basicfwd
端口数量	两者都用端口掩码来指定，L2fwd支持奇数个	只能是偶数个
lcore数量	多个，每个lcore负责一个port	一个lcore，执行类似repeater的程序
转发逻辑	转发时会改写MAC地址	只能是 0<-->1，2<-->3 这样的 pair 互相转发
Tx_buffer	有发包缓存队列，收的包会缓存到发包队列里，一段时间后或者队列满后才会转发	没有发包缓存，Rx收到包后直接Tx出去

用 wireshark 抓下包：

可以看到经过端口转发的包的目的MAC地址被程序改变了。

但是改变了目的MAC地址，自然无法通信。所以这个程序还是设置成测试速率用。如果把修改目的MAC地址的那一行代码注释掉，就可以正常通信。

Sample guide 里有一句话说：The L2 Forwarding application can also be used as a starting point for developing a new application based on the DPDK. 所以这个程序也是非常亲民的=。=
