[dpdk-dev] Issues with ixgbe and rte_flow

2017-03-07 Thread Le Scouarnec Nicolas
Dear all, I have been using the new API rte_flow to program filtering on an X540 (ixgbe) NIC. My goal is to send packets from different VLANs to different queues (filtering which should be supported by flow director as far as I understand). I enclosed the setup code at the bottom of this email.
