Same experiment with Linux ixgbe kernel driver and on hotswap on SFPs both
link and speed were correctly reported. Logs below:
I saw some patches in the archives posted in 2021 which did not make it to
the upstream release that support these features by Stephen.

Is there a plan to support this feature dpdk like linux kernel ixgbe driver
?
Thanks,
