Hi Chris, About mlx5, we are using mlx5 cards with the VPP rdma plugin and it is working fine for us, for VPP 19.08 and newer.
(I think there may be a problem with the rdma plugin for larger MTU values but for MTU < 2000 or so, everything works fine.) / Elias On Tue, 2020-06-02 at 03:40 -0400, Christian Hopps wrote: > Hi vpp-dev, > > I've been contemplating trying to use native drivers in place of DPDK > with the understanding that I may be paying a ~20% penalty by using > DPDK.
