[dpdk-users] Support for RSS UDP hash types on vmxnet3

[Eduard Serra Miralles]

6.5 and prior requires to set a specific flag on VM vmx file to enable RSS, apart from requesting it inside:



// On vmx file

ethernet1.udpRSS = “1”



6.7 and onwards, with newer virtual hw version, the guest will handle that on its own with no required intervention from the hypervisor.

Subject: [dpdk-users] Support for RSS UDP hash types on vmxnet3

Hi,

As per the documentation of "Poll Mode Driver for Paravirtual vmxnet3 NIC"
in NIC driver guides.

vmxnet3 Features and Limitations of VMXNET3 PMD are as follows:
-----------------------
RSS based load balancing between queues - SUPPORTED
------------------------

But, i'm seeing all the UDP packets are landing on only single queue, even
after enabling RSS.

Does anybody faced similar issue and any fix available on this issue ?

Thanks,
Madhukar.
