Hello list, we're using the intel X520 cards with the ixgbe driver since a long time for our cloud infrastructure. We never had a problem with dropped packets and everything was always fine.
Since a year we started switching to the X710 cards as they're better regarding their specs (lower power consumption, lower latency, better price). We've around 100 X710 cards running now and we had a lot of trouble with them. Back in 2014 there were a firmware bug, then there were driver problems with bonding and so on. Now we have detected a new problem! We're seeing a lot of rx_dropped packets on all X710 cards while all ixgbe based cards are working fine. I've tested the 1.2.48 driver als also the latest 1.3.4-k driver from 4.2-rc5. Can anybody help?
