you cannot run two netmap clients on the same NIC at the same time
(unless you know how to do that, and avoid they stomp on each other).
In this particular case it means that you should test things as follows
machine A: pkt-gen -i em1 -f tx ...
machine B kipfw em1 em2
machine C pkt-gen -i em3 -f rx
And the connection between the ports is the following
[A em1] <--> [em1 B em2] <--> [em3 C]
