[dpdk-dev] 10G Interface used as PCI Pass-Through reports 64bytes / packet

[Assaad, Sami (Sami)]

Hello,

Is it normal that a 10G NIC interface, supporting the 82599 Ethernet Controller, configured as PCI Pass-through for a virtual machine using DPDK,  reports 64 bytes per packet; no matter what the packet size?

If so; I'm assuming this is to improve the performance of passing the network traffic to the VM.  Is there a way to configure the NIC to properly present the proper byte count/packet?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Sami.
