Setup
ThinkServer RD650, Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3
2*x710 ports pass-through (i40e driver)
Dpdk 2.1
Dpdk app doing forwarding from one port to another
Results
When more than 7.5(50% of wire speed) MPPS sent with 64 bytes, Tx fails(rte_eth_tx_burst return with less than given packets to send).
Rx on 1 port -> output 7.5 MPPS
Rx on 2 ports -> each outputs 3.75 MPPS (total 7.5)
This behavior happening only in virtual environment, bare Linux there is wire speed performance.
Question
Is there any known issue? Or someone found encountered and fixed this?
Thanks,

Hello Grisha,
I'm not sure which OS you are using.
We encountered a problem moving from sandybridge based machines to haswell based machines, with using pass-through to VMs.
We had to change to a newer version of our OS since the one we used was too old to understand the haswell.
We intially saw a huge drop in DPDK performance in the vms, native was fine.
There were changes required in the configuration of the vms, to do with huge pages and anonymous huge pages, and VM backing with huge pages
Not sure if this helps
