In our case, the answer is yes. We intend to use the PF through DPDK to house a high speed packet mirror function for capturing packet traces from VFs (for ops etc). However, in theory, this *can* be done through an extra VF as well, so I didn't bring up that particular point as being a deciding factor in this debate. > On Jan 13, 2017, at 6:04 PM, John Fastabend <john.fastab...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Open question for me on this though is the PF in these SRIOV cases > ever being used by DPDK datapath or is it just being leveraged for > configuration with primarily control traffic?
