Hi Sashi, There could be a few solutions, depending on how your encapsulation is implemented: * flexible payload to extract up to 16 bytes from the packet for RSS: works for L2/L3/L4 payloads * special configuration of L2 tags: works for headers with the specific Ethertypes * Dynamic Device Personalization (DDP): reprograming parser to understand new L2/L3/L4 protocols

NIC RSS is not distributing the packets across all the cores(queues) setup. Packets are always landing in a single core(default core). We are not looking at software based distribution due to scalability. 1) Is there any way to use RSS/VMDQ to serve this purpose at NIC? 2) Can we configure NIC to perform round robin distribution? Note: We use XL710 NIC Regards, Sashi
