* [dpdk-users] Issue with UDP based fragmented packets on Azure cloud

Hi,

We are facing issue with UDP/IP based fragmented packets on Azure cloud
platform with Accelerated-Network enabled ports.

UDP fragmented Rx packets were able to receive well on media ports. But,
when two fragmented packet received, first fragment is received on Queue-0
and second fragment is received on Queue-1. Ideally all the fragments(of
single large packet) should be received single queue based on RSS, so that
we can re-assemble as single pkt and process it, which is working well in
other platforms on KVM hyper-visors(with I40evf NIC’s).

I think, the as per RSS hash cacluation all the fragmented pkts should
reach on single-queue(because the 5-tuple hash value will be same), but
this is not happening in-case of Azue VM's Why ?

Does anybody faced similar issue, please let me know your suggestion.

Thanks,
Madhukar.

I guess it depends on the fragments themselves, 
If your first fragment contains a UDP header (the first frag in the list)  then the RSS hash will be on the full 5 tuble 
Src/dst IP and src/dst udp 
But, for the other frags you'll not get src/dst udp since they are not present in the pkt.
I guess you should be using only RSS On IP header to make all frags go to the same queue.

Yes, and this is not unique to Azure or even the DPDK.
Fragmented packets do not have enough information (no UDP header in second fragment)
to do L4 RSS.

I wonder is there any way to bypass RSS for some IP flag values like mf, or
frag_offset

Hi Raslan and stephen,

Thanks for your response.
Yes, i had done RSS for IP layer only as follows:
portConf.rx_adv_conf.rss_conf.rss_hf = (ETH_RSS_IP );    //  | ETH_RSS_TCP|
ETH_RSS_UDP);

Commented out the RSS for UDP/TCP flags.
But, still im facing the same issue, the fragments pkts are not coming on
to the single queue, not sure why ?

Here we use DPDK is 20.11.
The interfaces are coming up with Failsafe PMD with 2 queues.

I had seen issue related to Azure UDP fragmentation on the following link:
https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/issues/29476
So, any known limitations.

Regards,
Madhuker.
