Hi Tushar, I checked one of my server which Max Payload Size is 128: # lspci -vvv -s 52:00.1 52:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06) Subsystem: Intel Corporation PRO/1000 PT Quad Port Server Adapter Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr+ Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx+ Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes Interrupt: pin B routed to IRQ 266 Region 0: Memory at dfea0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] Region 1: Memory at dfe80000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] Region 2: I/O ports at 6020 [size=32] [virtual] Expansion ROM at d8120000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [c8] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI+ D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0+,D1-,D2-,D3hot+,D3cold-) Status: D0 NoSoftRst- PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=1 PME- Capabilities: [d0] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Address: 00000000fee00000 Data: 409a Capabilities: [e0] Express (v1) Endpoint, MSI 00 DevCap: MaxPayload 256 bytes, PhantFunc 0, Latency L0s <512ns, L1 <64us ExtTag- AttnBtn- AttnInd- PwrInd- RBE- FLReset- DevCtl: Report errors: Correctable+ Non-Fatal+ Fatal+ Unsupported+ RlxdOrd+ ExtTag- PhantFunc- AuxPwr- NoSnoop+ MaxPayload 128 bytes, MaxReadReq 4096 bytes DevSta: CorrErr- UncorrErr- FatalErr+ UnsuppReq+ AuxPwr- TransPend- LnkCap: Port #0, Speed 2.5GT/s, Width x4, ASPM L0s, Latency L0 <4us, L1 <64us ClockPM- Surprise- LLActRep- BwNot- LnkCtl: ASPM Disabled; RCB 64 bytes Disabled- Retrain- CommClk+ ExtSynch- ClockPM- AutWidDis- BWInt- AutBWInt- LnkSta: Speed 2.5GT/s, Width x4, TrErr- Train- SlotClk+ DLActive- BWMgmt- ABWMgmt- Capabilities: [100 v1] Advanced Error Reporting UESta: DLP- SDES- TLP- FCP- CmpltTO- CmpltAbrt- UnxCmplt- RxOF- MalfTLP- ECRC- UnsupReq+ ACSViol- UEMsk: DLP- SDES- TLP- FCP- CmpltTO- CmpltAbrt- UnxCmplt- RxOF- MalfTLP- ECRC- UnsupReq+ ACSViol- UESvrt: DLP+ SDES- TLP+ FCP+ CmpltTO+ CmpltAbrt+ UnxCmplt+ RxOF+ MalfTLP+ ECRC- UnsupReq+ ACSViol- CESta: RxErr- BadTLP- BadDLLP- Rollover- Timeout- NonFatalErr- CEMsk: RxErr+ BadTLP+ BadDLLP+ Rollover+ Timeout+ NonFatalErr- AERCap: First Error Pointer: 14, GenCap- CGenEn- ChkCap- ChkEn- Capabilities: [140 v1] Device Serial Number 00-15-17-ff-ff-16-ed-86 Kernel driver in use: e1000e Kernel modules: e1000e And eeprom dump as below: Offset Values ------ ------ 0x0000 00 15 17 16 ed 86 24 05 ff ff a2 50 ff ff ff ff 0x0010 57 d4 07 74 2f a4 a4 11 86 80 a4 10 86 80 65 b1 0x0020 08 00 a4 10 00 58 00 00 01 50 00 00 00 00 00 01 0x0030 f6 6c b0 37 a6 07 03 84 83 07 00 00 03 c3 02 06 0x0040 08 00 f0 0e 64 21 40 00 01 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x0050 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x0060 00 01 00 40 1e 12 07 40 00 01 00 40 ff ff ff ff If I did not misunderstand, the value of offset 0x1a is 0x07a6, then the bit 8 is 1, but my NIC's MPS is 128b, anything I'm wrong?
