Hi Ajit, It's the port_id of member ports - PF or representor port. I'll update commit message to avoid confusion. > > > > > > > Shared Rx queue must be polled in same thread or core, polling a queue > > ID of any member port is essentially same. > So it is upto the application to poll the queue of any member port or > all ports or a designated port to handle Rx? Yes, up to application. As described in cover letter, aggregator port will be considered after collecting more suggestion and user feedback. > > > > > Multiple share groups are supported.
