Hi,
In I40E DPDK nic guide, https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/nics/i40e.html,
MDD does not appear.

In IXGBE DPDK nic guide,  https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/nics/ixgbe.html,
MDD appears, but in the known issues section.

I think MDD is supported on both.

just wonder, for the sake of consistency, is it worth to add such a section
also
for these nics ?

Other than that,

Hi,
In I40E DPDK nic guide, https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/nics/i40e.html,
MDD does not appear.
[Wenzhuo] As I know, this feature is not supported by i40e. I40e can send such packets. That’s why we want to mentions this different behavior for ice.

In IXGBE DPDK nic guide,  https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/nics/ixgbe.html,
MDD appears, but in the known issues section.
[Wenzhuo] Actually, for ixgbe, we want to mention MDD as a limitation (the same section as  known issue). Because it’s more like our driver’s robust is not so strong. We have to ask the APP to provide the right L2/L3 length. (The reason is it’s not effective to let the driver inspect the packet to get the right length.)
But this ice behavior is more like a feature. To my opinion, it’s reasonable to drop such packets. That’s why I put it in the feature section.

Hi, Wenzhuo,

Regarding MDD for I40E, I am basing this on what I saw on the web regarding
MDD on I40E:
https://lists.osuosl.org/pipermail/intel-wired-lan/Week-of-Mon-20170925/010131.html
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1772675

and more.

[Wenzhuo] Have to say this patch is only for ICE. I’d like to leave this question to our i40e maintainers.
