hi wonder if I use flowdirector filter correctly.
the machine has 12 cores,I want to use only 8 rx queues: insmod ./ixgbe.ko FdirMode=0,0 RSS=8,8 then set vlan id filter: ./ethtool -K eth5 ntuple off ./ethtool -K eth5 ntuple on ./ethtool -U eth5 flow-type tcp4 vlan 0 vlan-mask 0xF000 action 0 ./ethtool -U eth5 flow-type udp4 vlan 0 vlan-mask 0xF000 action 0 ./ethtool -U eth5 flow-type tcp4 vlan 1 vlan-mask 0xF000 action 1 ./ethtool -U eth5 flow-type udp4 vlan 1 vlan-mask 0xF000 action 1 ./ethtool -U eth5 flow-type tcp4 vlan 2 vlan-mask 0xF000 action 2 ./ethtool -U eth5 flow-type udp4 vlan 2 vlan-mask 0xF000 action 2 ./ethtool -U eth5 flow-type tcp4 vlan 3 vlan-mask 0xF000 action 3 ./ethtool -U eth5 flow-type udp4 vlan 3 vlan-mask 0xF000 action 3 ./ethtool -U eth5 flow-type tcp4 vlan 4 vlan-mask 0xF000 action 4 ./ethtool -U eth5 flow-type udp4 vlan 4 vlan-mask 0xF000 action 4 ./ethtool -U eth5 flow-type tcp4 vlan 5 vlan-mask 0xF000 action 5 ./ethtool -U eth5 flow-type udp4 vlan 5 vlan-mask 0xF000 action 5 ./ethtool -U eth5 flow-type tcp4 vlan 6 vlan-mask 0xF000 action 6 ./ethtool -U eth5 flow-type udp4 vlan 6 vlan-mask 0xF000 action 6 ./ethtool -U eth5 flow-type tcp4 vlan 7 vlan-mask 0xF000 action 7 ./ethtool -U eth5 flow-type udp4 vlan 7 vlan-mask 0xF000 action 7 my question is, as I disable flow director(FdirMode=0,0) , can I still set the filter like that? why the FdirMode must be 0 when i want to use less rx queues? what 's the exact meaning of "flow director"? confused with RSS and rx queue. I think packets belong to same flow must go to same rx queue, why we need the "flow director"? thanks rui ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Achieve unprecedented app performance and reliability What every C/C++ and Fortran developer should know.
