Hi Lu, Many thanks for your response. Again I have few more queries. If VF unicast promiscuous mode is not supported then can't we implement a Layer 2 bridging functionality using intel virtualization technologies? Or Is there any other way, say tweeking some hardware registers or drivers, which may help us in implementing Layer 2 bridging. Also I would like to know, why intel does not support unicast promiscuos mode? It could have been optional register settings and user should have had a previleage to set or unset it. Besides, security reasons, is there any other big reason why Intel does not support this?
