        Hi,

        Sorry for cross-posting, but I feel this might be an
        interesting topic for the dev list as well.

        I've recreated my setup with qemu VM instead of lxc container
        and the situation is the same.
        Summary of my setup:
        Ovs compiled with dpdk (from ubuntu-cloud-archive/newton)
        deployed on a libvirt VM having 3 network connections to a
        shared network:
        Szövegközi kép 3
        I've set up two bridges: dpdk-br0 with dpdk and non-dpdk-br1
        with kernel datapath each having an interface to the host
        provided network. For both bridges only the normal action is
        present, no flows were defined.

    I forgot to mention, that intentionally I didn't use dpdkvhostuser
    ports even with the dpdk datapath bridge as the problem I try to
    investigate is whether there can be traffic in this scenario.


A symptom like the one you describe usually points to problem with offloads.

When the userspace datapath receives packets from "system" devices, the kernel might forward packets with wrong checksums, if offloads are enabled.

Could you try to disable tx offloads inside the VM (or maybe on the host, although there shouldn't be any problem with "internal"/"tap" device)?

ethtool -K eth0 tx off

Thank you!

Disabling tx offload in the internal VM solved the tcp problem.

Cheers,

Geza
