Using EAL Parameters #80

Description
Hi
I wanted to know if it is possible to use dpdk's EAL arguments with these functions. For example I want to use --socket-mem ,-b (blacklist ports), -n (memory channels), and --xen-dom0. I experimented a little bit but couldn't find anything. I think the -f 'config' command does not allow for these parameters either correct?

Hi
Some of these you can control already:
--socket-memis the same aspool_size-bwe implicitly blacklist any port that is not explicitly specified either in the config file or in a commandline parameter to the program.The rest are currently not, in particular
-nis currently hardcoded to 4 (https://github.com/NetSys/NetBricks/blob/master/native/init.c#L126) and I have never usedxen-dom0and hence have no support for it. If you want to extendconfig_reader.rsandinit.cI'd be happy to incorporate configuration for this I'd be happy to incorporate that. I can also try and push a change incorporating this later if it is being problematic, just let me know.Thanks for using NetBricks, and sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
