Thanks Billy - it was through some examples that i had found that I ended up grabbing that. I reinstalled 1704 and can verify connectivity when removing the evil feature-mask.
Thanks for the quick feedback, Damjan. If we could only go back in time! Now if I could just figure out why I'm getting capped bandwidth (via iperf) of ~45 mbps between two VMs on the same socket on a sandybridge xeon, I will be really happy! If anyone has suggestions on debug methods for this, it'd be appreciated. I see a huge difference when switching to ovs vhost-user, keeping all else the same. --Eric On Thu, Apr 20, 2017 at 04:29:23PM -0400, Billy McFall wrote: > The vHost examples on the Wiki used the feature-mask of 0xFF.
