[dpdk-users] net/i40e VF state does not track PF state

Hey David,
Another possibility is that you are shutting down the PF through the
compute with " ip link"? It seems similar to a behavior we saw with sriov
port where the host OS seems to lose a portion of control over the nic.
We could shutdown the port from the compute but we still saw the traffic
being forwarded from the VF towards the TOR.
You can try to physically shutdown the port from the TOR or unplugging the
cable.
We are running 7.6 hosts with the 2.3.2 driver.
Thanks!
