Hello,
We are testing network performance with SR-IOV on ubuntu and security
onion in Rhev Hypervisor. We are using a SuperMicro box running T-rex
traffic generator on CentOS which is connected to a gigamon to push
traffic to the Ubuntu/Security Onion VMs.
The ubuntu 16.04 vm is running on a RHVH host node and is running SR-
IOV. We have ensured that SR-IOV is enabled in the BIOS. We are finding
that packets stop coming into the interface after a few seconds. This is
because the interface is going down after a few seconds of receiving
traffic. We are running promiscuous mode and it is required for our use
case of measuring network traffic.
As a troubleshooting measure, 5.3.0-rc3 was built using the 3.2.3 iavf
SR-IOV driver. Note that the i40evf driver was renamed to iavf, which is
why the name discrepancy exists. After updating the Kernel we stopped
seeing this issue.

We were able to perform testing using the 5.3.0 kernel, but long term a
better solution is needed as this would require supporting a modified
Linux kernel with updates, testing, etc.
