I am trying to get an application working on an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server that is dependent upon the AF_PACKET service. The application is failing to start. I suspect it may be because (at least in part) the AF_PACKET service does not appear to be running. When I issue the 'sudo service AF_PACKET start' command, the terminal returns the following:
Failed to start AF_PACKET.service: Unit AF_PACKET.service not found
The 'sudo service AF_PACKET status' command returns the following:
*AF_PACKET.service
Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: inactive (dead)
Pretty new to Linux, but my understanding was that the AF_PACKET was native to Linux and should be able to start it manually, but the above seems to indicate the service is not present on my system. I have looked extensively for solution, what may cause this, how to fix, etc. but have had no luck finding anything yet.
Is there anyone who may be able to help, or at least get me pointed in the right direction? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
