Sure, I changed the tittle. But I'm afraid I don't catch up with you. I have 2 questions, 1, Why the reta size cannot be predict on Mellanox ConnectX-4? 2, I don't understand the meaning when you say the reta size is not fixed by default on Mellanox ConnectX-4. Would you like to give more details of the Mellanox ConnectX-4's behavior? It'll be helpful to understand this problem.
