Hi Team, I’m currently working with Open vSwitch (OVS) using the DPDK datapath on a Alveo U200, and I’ve encountered an issue where packets are not being received back on the traffic generator after being transmitted by OVS.
Setup Details: - Traffic Generator: - Port 0 → Connected to Alveo U200 pf0 - Port 1 → Connected to Alveo U200 pf1 - OVS is running on the Alveo U200 (datapath_type=netdev), and both `pf0` and `pf1` are added as DPDK ports to a bridge named `br0`. OVS Configuration: d76b4ea2-df9e-4d2e-8f9d-06210013ffef Bridge br0 datapath_type: netdev Port br0 Interface br0 type: internal Port pf0 Interface pf0 type: dpdk options: {dpdk-devargs="0000:08:00.0", n_rxq="4", n_rxq_desc="1024", n_txq="4", n_txq_desc="1024"} Port pf1 Interface pf1 type: dpdk options: {dpdk-devargs="0000:08:00.1", n_rxq="4", n_rxq_desc="1024", n_txq="4", n_txq_desc="1024"} After sending packets from the traffic generator to `pf0`, here are the stats: OFPST_PORT reply (xid=0x2): 3 ports port LOCAL: rx pkts=0, bytes=0, drop=0, errs=0, frame=0, over=0, crc=0 tx pkts=0, bytes=0, drop=100, errs=0, coll=0 port pf0: rx pkts=100, bytes=6000, drop=0, errs=0, frame=?, over=?, crc=? tx pkts=0, bytes=0, drop=0, errs=0, coll=? port pf1: rx pkts=0, bytes=0, drop=0, errs=0, frame=?, over=?, crc=? tx pkts=100, bytes=6000, drop=0, errs=0, coll=? Why are packets being dropped at the `LOCAL` port, and is that affecting forwarding? Any guidance on resolving this issue or confirming expected DPDK OVS behavior would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, and regards, Thenveer
