Re: [dpdk-dev] Signature filter for virtual function

["Wu, Jingjing" <jingjing.wu@intel.com>]

Could you explain what exactly you want? Director packet to a VF? Or director packet to different queue in a VF?

For the first one, I think if you know which queue the VF is using, the flow director can do it (it's my understanding, haven't try).
But for the latter, I have no idea which way can be used instead.
