[dpdk-users] RSS not working on Mellanox ConnectX-3 NIC

Hi Javier, 

RSS on ConnectX-3 cards is working, but doesn't improve the Maximum rate of the NIC, it helps for real application to spread the traffic among different cores.
Therefore with benchmark application you will see  degradation with RSS, but with real application the performance should be better with RSS than without.

ConnectX-4 doesn't have this limitation and we suggest using it instead of ConnectX-3  

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Best Regards,
Olga

Subject: [dpdk-users] RSS not working on Mellanox ConnectX-3 NIC

Hi,

I have a pair of Mellanox MCX354A-FCBT NICs and I'm having trouble scaling up RX performance. It appears that RSS is not working and RX speed is limited by a single queue.

According to the documentation[1] RSS is supported on the mlx4 driver, and debugging the eth dev initialization code I can see the driver setting up RSS apparently with success. I can generate 34Mpps over the TX port using 8 queues, but I can only ever receive at 20Mpps on the RX end, no matter how many queues I use.

The generated packets have randomized source/destination IP addresses and source/destination UDP ports, so they should hash to different RX queues.

The NICs are connected directly to each other with a DAC cable. They are on different NUMA nodes and I'm placing TX/RX lcores on the appropriate socket for each NIC. It doesn't matter which NIC I use as the sender, the results are exactly the same. I have tried both pktgen and my own code but didn't see any difference.

The server is a 2x 12-core Intel E5-2680 v3 2.5GHz. The Mellanox NICs are flashed with the latest firmware and I'm using MLNX_OFED 3.3. I'm using the MLNX_DPDK 2.2 distribution, but I also tried the standard DPDK v16.04 and the result was the same (with lower TX and RX performance overall).

Here's the output of ibstat:

Below are the pktgen results. Note that the first NIC is 0000:03:00.0 and is assigned ports 0-1, and the second NIC is 0000:a1:00.0 and is assigned ports 2-3. I'm testing TX on port 0 and RX on port 2, which are connected directly. Random packets are generated by using the pktgen script found at [2].
