Hi, Kang There are have some questions to clarify: - what Is packet packet rate (in packet-per-second)?
* what Is packet size? * do you use the switchdev configuration (E-Switch)? * could you try create all flows in group 1 (and have the first flow in group 0 forwarding all the traffic to group 1) ?

Is this a CX5/CX6-DX hardware issue? or Is it a DPDK mlx5 pmd bugs? Best Regards! KANG
