Hi Thomas,

The testing with dpdk 21.08-rc3 from Broadcom looks good. The following is
a list of tests executed with 21.08-rc3:

- Basic functionality:
  Send and receive multiple types of traffic.
- testpmd xstats counter test.
- RSS tests.
- VLAN filtering tests.
- Rx Checksum tests
- TSO tests.
- MTU and Jumbo frame tests
- Changing/checking link status through testpmd.
- Unicast/multicast MAC filtering tests
- VXLAN/Geneve Rx CSO, TSO, RSS tests

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

Regards,
Kalesh
