I am utilizing dpdk between EC2 instances in AWS. I am noticing that the first few times packets are sent from one instance to another, they are always dropped ( i think at the source). The steps i took to utilize the dpdk ports are as follows:
modprobe uio modprobe hwmon insmod ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/kmod/rte_kni.ko insmod ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/kmod/igb_uio.ko ifconfig eth1 down ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --bind=igb_uio 00:04.0 Is there an explanation of why only the first few packets would be dropped and there after the communication moves along smoothly without any issues at all ? The behavior is consistent. I am a new user of dpdk so i am completely lost about the behavior ... Do i have to configure something with ethtool? Any help is greatly appreciated ... thanks
