X-BeenThere: dev@dpdk.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.15 Precedence: list List-Id: patches and discussions about DPDK List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 04 Mar 2014 15:21:57 -0000 I want to try dpdk with vmxnet3 in Vmware Esxi 5.1. I see that the latest dpdk 1.6.0r1 includes a vmxnet3 pmd. The vmxnet3-usermap-1.1.tar.gz as well includes a vmxnet3 pmd driver. I'm confused as to which vmxnet3 pmd driver to use along with which vmxnet3 kernel driver (vmxnet3 native kernel driver or vmxnet3-usermap kernel driver). I also want to try RSS with vmxnet3 and dpdk. As per Intel DPDK Programmer's Guide (January 2014) RSS is supported with vmxnet3 since dpdk version 1.6.0. Thanks, Srini
