The DPDK jumbo frame send and receive works for 82583V.
We have tested it with 4x 85283V and the setup:
Linux send --> DPDK receive --> DPDK send --> Linux receive
We could send a 9k packet via this data path and have verified the
content of it.
I can generate a patch for DPDK if this is enough testing for you.
Thanks,
Klaus
