After looking to the API, I find out the function *rte_eth_dev_mac_addr_add*, which requires the parameter *uint32_t pool* (VMDq pool index to associate address with (if VMDq is enabled)). My questions are: 1) Am I on the right way to achieve my goal? 2) How is it realized the mapping pools/queues? Regards, Mauro
