[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/ixgbe: add support of loopback for X540/X550

[Meunier, Julien (Nokia - FR/Paris-Saclay)]

Hi,

Mmm, you're right. However, as like for the 82599, the pmd skips the 
link configuration, so, it should not enable the autoneg.

During my tests, I had a 10G connectivity, and I didn't notice any 
problem. I used the DPDK application "test", with the test 
pmd_perf_autotest.

Should I need to modify my code to be sure that autoneg is disabled (and 
force it to 10G) ?

Thanks,
Best regards,
Julien Meunier
