Hi DPDK people! I am using KVM and have dpdk installed on my VM Host.
I have used vfio_pci and done host passthrough to the VM, however the link is always down. I know the nic device name disappears in Linux when applying drivers from dpdk, but I need to send traffic from my VM out of the SR-IOV nic to another VM Host with SR-IOV nic. I can use SR-IOV with igb and igbvf with hostdev passthrough, and via macvtap but I want better speeds. Is there a way of achieving it with dpdk outside of the sample applications that send packets to test rates. Is there a tutorial, other than the basic Intel ones to get line rates with a presented interface that bypasses the kernel processing the rx_fifo queue? I use an Intel I350 1GBe card just to be clear. Thanks
