If I add another interface (a simple 1Gbps with no VF, ens5f0) to the linux bridge, then, I don't receive anymore packets on node-0 If I remove the ens5f0 from the bridge or I put down the ens5f0 the traffic flow restarts. I understand that DPDK uses the VF directly with no dependencies on the kernel. How can operations on the kernel side (like adding an interface to bridge) can affect the VF? Best regards, Antonio.
