[dpdk-dev] VIRTIO interface with DPDK in Guest VM not receiving packets

[Ajeet Gill (ajgill)]

Hello ,
  I have observed that QEMU/Host does not pass the packets to Guest VM on Virtio interfaces unless I turn on promisc  mode on the interface in the Guest.

Host is running RHEL 7.2. Have tried with Ubuntu 14.4 as well . No DPDK-OVS or any vhost-user.

Is this expected behavior?   I would not assume this should be.  Any pointers to look into?

Thanks and Regards,
Ajeet
