[dpdk-users] net/i40e: Compatibility issue when running dpdk-17.05.2 on ESXi 6.0U1

[Yan Fridland]

Hi,

From Intel’s DPDK 17.05 performance report for X710 Converged Ethernet Adapter 
(below), I see that you used the below host FW/driver versions on Ubuntu:
https://fast.dpdk.org/doc/perf/DPDK_17_05_Intel_NIC_performance_report.pdf

Driver version: 1.4.25-k
firmware-version: 5.05 0x800028a6 0.0.0

Could you please advise what should be the right ESXi 6.0 equivalent ?

My current configuration is:
