Hi Christian, ixgbe driver is deprecated, that code is very old, from days when VPP was not open source. That driver was used for Intel Niantic family (82599, x5x0) of NICs which are those days replaced by Intel Fortville (x710, xl710, xvv710, x722). For fortville and soon for columbiaville NICs (e810), you can use native AVF driver….
You need to create virtual function first, as AVF driver works only with VFs. There is script which does the job in extras/scripts/vfctl i.e. $ extras/scripts/vfctl create 0000:61:00.1 1 Virtual Functions: ID PCI Addr PCI ID Driver MAC Addr Config 0 0000:61:06.0 8086:37cd vfio-pci spoof checking off, link-state auto, trust on And the in in VPP: vpp# create interface avf 0000:61:06.0 name eth0 > On 2 Jun 2020, at 09:40, Christian Hopps <cho...@chopps.org> 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.
