Hi Experts,

I am a dpdk beginner. I am investigating how to use vf rss with Linux ixgbe
and dpdk ixgbevf.

I saw the description on Intel 82599 from
https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/nics/intel_vf.html:
"The current implementation of the DPDK ixgbevf driver supports a single
queue pair (RX/TX) per Virtual Function."
Does it mean the DPDK ixgbevf driver doesn't support vf rss? I'm using
dpdk-16.11.

I would appreciate your help.

Regards,
Xiongwei

This was fixed in later versions of DPDK.

Do you use fdir to match and send specific flow to vf? It seems that
vf rss hash is not supported in 82599 nic. I have also met the same
problem and finally I have to disable RSS hash in the vf driver in a
tricky way. See this thread below:
