How do I specify multiple receive queues/port - =20 Used the command line option -rxq=3D2 and get this error.. =20 ******************* Fail: nb_rxq(2) is greater than max_rx_queues(1) EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1 Cause: FAIL from init_fwd_streams() *************************** =20 Orelse, if I specify rxq=3D1 on command line and try to con= figure within the app by using=20 the "port config all rxq 2", I get the same error..as above= . =20 Is there something missing here!!! =20 =20 2. If I use the igb_uio (dpdk driver), I am able to configure rxq >1. My configuration: loopback cable between port0 and port1 Question a: How do I generate TX packets with multiple MAC address..? =20 I did this -- "mac_addr add 0 00:00:00:AA:BB:CC" as an additional MAC addre= ss (left the default as is) =20 Can I assume that the TX of port0 will now generate Etherne= t frames with 2 different MAC addresses? Frames with the default SMAC address, and frames with the M= AC-address specified above? =20 Can I use these MAC address as a classifier (using ethertyp= e_filter), to steer frames to queues 0 & 1? =20 =20 =20 Thanks -Navneet
