Hello,

We ran the following functional tests with Nvidia hardware on v23.11.2-rc2:
- Basic functionality:
  Send and receive multiple types of traffic.
- testpmd xstats counter test.
- testpmd timestamp test.
- Changing/checking link status through testpmd.
- rte_flow tests (https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/nics/mlx5.html#supported-hardware-offloads)
- RSS tests.
- VLAN filtering, stripping, and insertion tests.
- Checksum and TSO tests.
- ptype tests.
- link_status_interrupt example application tests.
- l3fwd-power example application tests.
- Multi-process example applications tests.
- Hardware LRO tests.
- Buffer Split tests.
- Tx scheduling tests.

Functional tests ran on:
- NIC: ConnectX-6 Dx / OS: Ubuntu 20.04 / Driver: MLNX_OFED_LINUX-24.07-0.6.1.0 / Firmware: 22.42.1000
- NIC: ConnectX-7 / OS: Ubuntu 20.04 / Driver: MLNX_OFED_LINUX-24.07-0.6.1.0 / Firmware: 28.42.1000
- DPU: BlueField-2 / DOCA SW version: 2.8 / Firmware: 24.42.1000


Additionally, we ran build tests with multiple configurations on the following OS/driver combinations (all passed):
- Debian 12 with MLNX_OFED_LINUX-24.04-0.7.0.0.
- Ubuntu 20.04.6 with MLNX_OFED_LINUX-24.07-0.6.1.0.
- Ubuntu 20.04.6 with rdma-core master (dd9c687).
- Ubuntu 20.04.6 with rdma-core v28.0.
- Fedora 40 with rdma-core v48.0.
- Fedora 42 (Rawhide) with rdma-core v51.0.
- OpenSUSE Leap 15.6 with rdma-core v49.1.

We don't see new issues caused by the changes in this release.

Thanks,
Ali
