Re: pktgen-dpdk not working on ConnectX-3

Hi Olga,

   Thanks for your response.

   I found out that the problem was with compiling DPDK. When I compiled DPDK, I had set CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MLX4_PMD=y on the make command line but apparently that didn’t have any effect! I recompiled DPDK with that setting changed in the .config file and that enabled me to run pktgen.

Now I have another problem: the packet generation rate is maxed out at around 9Gb/s with 64 byte packets. Do you observe a similar behavior? Here is my pktgen command line:

sudo -E app/app/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/pktgen  -c 0xff -n 4  -w 0000:82:00.0 -- -T -P -p 0x0 -m "[1-4].0"

Cheers,
