Please do "ethtool -k vxlan0" of whatever interface is for vxlan. Ensure GRO is "on", if not enable it on the interface by "ethtool _k vxlan0 gro on". Run iperf and to tcpdump on the vxlan interface to verify GRO is being done. If we are seeing performance degradation when GRO is being done at tunnel versus device that would be a different problem than no GRO being done at all. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
