Hi Thomas,

The testing with dpdk 21.11-rc2 from Broadcom looks good. The following is
a list of tests executed with 21.11-rc2:

- Basic functionality:
  Send and receive multiple types of traffic.
- Stats check tests
- RSS tests
- VLAN Offload Tests
- RX/TX Checksum Offload Tests
- Dynamic queue test
- Transmit Segmentation Offload (TSO) Tests
- DPDK Hotplug API Tests
- MTU and Jumbo frame tests
- Changing/checking link status through testpmd.
- Unicast/multicast MAC filtering tests
- VXLAN/Geneve Rx CSO, TSO, RSS tests
- Port Start Stop Tests

We don't see any critical issues blocking the release.

Regards,
Kalesh
