Bug ID 1638
Summary Differences in how different Intel NICs handle maximum packet length for jumbo frame
Product DPDK
Version unspecified
Hardware All
OS All
Status UNCONFIRMED
Severity normal

Target Milestone ---

10 Gigabit Ethernet devices from Intel do not take VLAN tags into account when
calculating packet size while Gigabit Ethernet devices do so for jumbo frames.

Implication:
When receiving packets with VLAN tags, the actual maximum size of useful
payload that Intel Gigabit Ethernet devices are able to receive is 4 bytes (or
8 bytes in the case of packets with extended VLAN tags) less than that of Intel
10 Gigabit Ethernet devices.

Resolution/Workaround:
Increase the configured maximum packet size when using Intel Gigabit Ethernet
devices.

Affected Environment/Platform:
All.

Driver/Module:
Poll Mode Driver (PMD).
