Hello Slava, As I reported to you, creating flow was successful with Connect-X5. However when I sent packets to the NIC from outer side of the host, I have problem.
[Case 1] Packet distribution on multi-queue based on dst MAC address. NIC config: 04:00.0 Mellanox Connect-X5 0.5.00.0 Intel XXV710 testpmd startup param: sudo ./testpmd -c 1ffff -n 4 --socket-mem=1024,1024 --log-level=10 -w 04:00.0,dv_flow_en=1 -w 05:00.0 -- -i --rxq=16 --txq=16 --disable-rss --pkt-filter-mode=perfect flow command: testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth dst is 11:22:33:44:55:66 / end actions queue index 1 / end Flow rule #0 created testpmd> flow create 1 ingress pattern eth dst is 11:22:33:44:55:66 type mask 0xffff / end actions queue index 1 / end Flow rule #0 created Packet reception:(no VLAN tag) port 0/queue 0: received 1 packets src=CC:CC:CC:CC:CC:CC - dst=11:22:33:44:55:66 - type=0x0800 - length=60 - nb_segs=1 - hw ptype: L2_ETHER L3_IPV4_EXT_UNKNOWN L4_NONFRAG - sw ptype: L2_ETHER L3_IPV4 - l2_len=14 - l3_len=20 - Receive queue=0x0 ol_flags: PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_UNKNOWN PKT_RX_IP_CKSUM_GOOD PKT_RX_OUTER_L4_CKSUM_UNKNOWN port 1/queue 0: sent 1 packets src=CC:CC:CC:CC:CC:CC - dst=11:22:33:44:55:66 - type=0x0800 - length=60 - nb_segs=1 - hw ptype: L2_ETHER L3_IPV4_EXT_UNKNOWN L4_NONFRAG - sw ptype: L2_ETHER L3_IPV4 - l2_len=14 - l3_len=20 - Send queue=0x0 ol_flags: PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_UNKNOWN PKT_RX_IP_CKSUM_GOOD PKT_RX_OUTER_L4_CKSUM_UNKNOWN port 1/queue 1: received 1 packets src=CC:CC:CC:CC:CC:CC - dst=11:22:33:44:55:66 - type=0x0800 - length=60 - nb_segs=1 - hw ptype: L2_ETHER L3_IPV4_EXT_UNKNOWN L4_ICMP - sw ptype: L2_ETHER L3_IPV4 - l2_len=14 - l3_len=20 - Receive queue=0x1 ol_flags: PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_GOOD PKT_RX_IP_CKSUM_GOOD PKT_RX_OUTER_L4_CKSUM_UNKNOWN port 0/queue 1: sent 1 packets src=CC:CC:CC:CC:CC:CC - dst=11:22:33:44:55:66 - type=0x0800 - length=60 - nb_segs=1 - hw ptype: L2_ETHER L3_IPV4_EXT_UNKNOWN L4_ICMP - sw ptype: L2_ETHER L3_IPV4 - l2_len=14 - l3_len=20 - Send queue=0x1 ol_flags: PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_GOOD PKT_RX_IP_CKSUM_GOOD PKT_RX_OUTER_L4_CKSUM_UNKNOWN Result: Matched packet queued to queue=0 port=0. Not queue=1, port=0. Expectation: When receiving packet which has dst MAC 11:22:33:44:55:66 should be received on queue=1 port=0. Question: Why matching packet is NOT enqueued into queue=1 on port=0?

Expectation: Matched packet queued to queue =1, port=0 Non Matched packet queued to queue=0, port=0 Question: Is above behavior collect? What is the default behavior of unmatchedd packets (queue to queue=0 or discard packet) BR, Hideyuki Yamashita NTT TechnoCross
