Hi,

I am using the IPv4 reassembly function =
(rte_ipv4_frag_reassemble_packet) on RX, and IPv4 fragmentation function =
(rte_ipv4_fragment_packet) on TX.=20

When I am putting this code into our production network, after a few =
hours the Ethernet port=E2=80=99s TX stops working. All packets sent to =
the PMD using rte_eth_tx_burst fail (returned 0 =3D no packets sent).

If I disable the reassembly and drop all incoming fragments, but =
continue to do fragmentation on TX (since the MTU is different on RX and =
TX ports) then everything works normally.

Any pointers on what could be wrong when forwarding packets using this =
scheme?

Thanks,
Padam
