Please note that I'm currently using DPDK 21.11, but could consider updating. On standard packet size, I'm able to transmit packets using memif with the following commands: Terminal 1 (receiver, launch first): # ./dpdk-testpmd -l 2-3 --vdev=net_memif0,id=0,role=server --file-prefix=pmd1 -- --forward-mode=rxonly --max-pkt-len=1518 Terminal 2 (sender, launch second): # ./dpdk-testpmd -l 0-1 --vdev=net_memif0,id=0,role=client --file-prefix=pmd2 -- --forward-mode=txonly --max-pkt-len=1518 When trying to send Jumbo Frames, I get an error on the server launch: # ./dpdk-testpmd -l 2-3 --vdev=net_memif0,id=0,role=server --file-prefix=pmd1 -- --forward-mode=rxonly --max-pkt-len=9000 ... Frame size (9000) > device max frame size (1518) for port_id 0 ... Do you know if it is possible to increase this device max frame size for the memif PMD ? About what I tried: - Changing the bsize (Size of single packet buffer) option of the PMD to a value higher than 9000 (I tried 9000 and 2^14=16384). I did not understand what this parameter changes, but it did not seem to help, the error stayed the same. - Reading the doc (both <A href="https://protect2.fireeye.com/v1/url?k=4eb31a67-2f380f51-4eb29128-74fe485cbff1-900faa1773a3392a&q=1&e=fba34704-3936-427f-8095-cdc5f573a280&u=https%3A%2F%2Fdoc.dpdk.org%2Fguides%2Fnics%2Fmemif.html" moz-do-not-send="true">DPDK</A>'s and <A href="https://protect2.fireeye.com/v1/url?k=f4ca4b38-95415e0e-f4cbc077-74fe485cbff1-591e0f460e0b7653&q=1&e=fba34704-3936-427f-8095-cdc5f573a280&u=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.fd.io%2Fvpp%2F17.10%2Flibmemif_doc.html" moz-do-not-send="true">VPP</A>'s), searching for MTU limitations, but saw no such thing. - Start from the error message to find where the device max frame size is set. It is initialized at drivers/net/memif/rte_eth_memif.c:198, to the value RTE_ETHER_MAX_LEN (1518), and left untouched after that. Is there any reason to limit the PMD to this value, or we could add a setter for this value ?
