Hello,
Thanks to Jonathan Matthew and DLG for their work on ixl and iavf drivers
and everyone else who worked on it..
One thing I have noticed in trying out this driver on 6.5+ current and 6.6

Jitter during simple ping te

Howdy Tommy,
I think they enable some traces from time to time to assist in de-bug...
also you will see a general trend downward due to all the various
software mitigations for
the hardware/ cpu cache / speculative execution bugs...

Hello All
I havent seen much by way of advice about multiqueue virtio
support on OpenBSD and I was wondering do other users use it ?
does anyone have experience with setting the number of virtio
queues in Proxmox for an OpenBSD guest ?
It is suggested by
proxmox / KVM to set the number of Queues p
, and split the 70 Vlans
across 2 interfaces
ie I had 35 vlans on 2 virtio interfaces and then the 70 vlans were
bridged onto a
third virtio interface. This seemed to reduce the loss that I had.
Hope this helps and Stefan Thanks for your feedback
Tom Smyth
On 1 December 2017 at 07:39, Stefan
command top -SH) only
interrupt handling of packets ?
or does it cover processing (e.g. forwarding if enabled ) (either
bridging or routing depending on network config)
any advice welcome ...

Hi Zolt
when your laptop is on line try
fw_update -a
command to update firmware... you probably were not online when the
firmware update command ran (on first boot after install)
See what happens when you run that command ..
Thanks

of the switch or you cant monitor it .. or get counters off it ...
then there is no doubt ... :)
