Hi,

I am running a D8sV3 type instance on azure with RHEL7.9 & accelerated networking enabled on one of the interface.

On this am running my DPDK app which is binding to the VF exposed & its corresponding netvsc interface via vdev_netvsc driver as suggested in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/setup-dpdk

DPDK doc : vdev_netvsc.html

The expected behaviour is that all traffic should flow through the physical interface (VF) and not from synthetic device (eth2 in my case).
But I can see all traffic coming to eth2 & dtap0 devices. This is causing my dpdk cpus to handle RX interrupts for these packets causing major performance issues & jitters. I am not understanding why all these packets are being mirrored to slow path.

Note: All my traffic is UDP.

I would like to know if there is any setting I am missing here. This is causing a lot of problems for me to qualify on Azure cloud with expected throughput.


Thanks.
