Hi Srini, Thanks, I could also make it work, thanks to your cue !
Now then, this multi-segment not being supported in vmxnet3 driver is a big party-pooper for me. Unfortunately in my usecase, I do indeed make heavy use of multisegment buffers for sending out the data, so my usecase has failed and I will have to fix that. Also, can you please adivse how much is the max data rates you have been able to achieve with one vmxnet3 10G port. Thanks a lot for the advice once again.

Prashant, I was also able to hit the issue your hitting using Esxi 5.1.0 evaluation and Fedora 20 X86_64 guest. I was able to fix the issue by setting CONFIG_RTE_EAL_UNBIND_PORTS=y option in defconfig_x86_64-default-linuxapp-gcc configuration file.
