[dpdk-dev] rte_ixgbevf_pmd not reporting dropped packets

[Montorsi, Francesco]

Hi all,

I'm using DPDK inside the OS of a VM that is SR-IOV-accelerated.
I noticed however that the "rte_ixgbevf_pmd" PMD does not report drops... I am sending packets at TX side at 14Mpps; at the RX side I'm using "testpmd" and it's reporting 'just' 12Mpps, but zero drops (also through xstats).

Is this a known bug?
I found a message at 
  http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2016-March/035374.html
reporting a similar issue back in March this year...


Thanks,

Francesco Montorsi
