  Change the transmit only side of testpmd to use the IP addresses
that are marked as reserved for benchmarking by RFC2544 192.18.0.0/27;
rather than the commonly used subnet 192.168.0.0/24 which is likely
to used for administrative interface.

RFC2544 seems to use 198.18.0.0 and 198.19.0.0 ?

Typo in the commit message "to used" should be "to be used"

From RFC 2544:
"The single filter case should permit traffic from IP address  198.18.1.2 to IP address 198.19.65.2 and deny all other traffic."

Should the macros be as follows?
#define IP_SRC_ADDR ((198U << 24) | (18 << 16) | (0 << 8) | 1)
#define IP_DST_ADDR ((198U << 24) | (19 << 16) | (0 << 8) | 2)

Regards,

Bernard

The 18 and 19 networks would be used when doing L3fwd type test.
The addresses this patch addresses are those used in the default case
for a transmit only type of test (on same subnet).

It might be useful to add some comments clarify this use case.
