Setup
ThinkServer RD650, Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3
2*x710 ports pass-through (i40e driver)
Dpdk 2.1
Dpdk app doing forwarding from one port to another
Results
When more than 7.5(50% of wire speed) MPPS sent with 64 bytes, Tx fails(rte_eth_tx_burst return with less than given packets to send).
Rx on 1 port -> output 7.5 MPPS
Rx on 2 ports -> each outputs 3.75 MPPS (total 7.5)
This behavior happening only in virtual environment, bare Linux there is wire speed performance.
Question
Is there any known issue? Or someone found encountered and fixed this?
Thanks,
