[dpdk-users] Mellanox drivers filter outgoing packets

[Amedeo Sapio]

Dear all,

I have recently upgraded Mellanox OFED to version 4.6-1.0.1 and I see a
behavior which was not present with an older version.
If my DPDK app sends packets addressed to the NIC itself, i.e.,  SMAC=DMAC,
these packets are not sent and silently dropped. Is this a bug or
intentional? Is there any way to avoid this behavior?

Thanks for the help!
