Hi Cian, just a follow up, what version of the i40e kernel driver were you 
using in your testing?

I was able to resolve the dpdk|ERR|i40evf_disable_vlan_strip() by upgrading to 
the latest kernel drive (2.4.6 atm) and I don't see any other DPDK errors.

I'm wondering if you have the same issue here?

Thanks
Ian
