Folks,

I am seeing this in the dmesg (VF 0 Hung DMA)

[586307.789098] VF 0 setting Multicast Promiscuos Enable TRUE
[586307.789099] Register before write : 0x9000000

I also see some bootp and ipv6 traffic when I do tcpdump on the PF NIC.

I am thinking perhaps DPDK has not completely taken over the nIC, and
perhaps the linux driver is also somehow interacting?

For intents, my DPDK app is running on the host (actually inside docker)
and NOT inside a VM.
