You'd > get a similar effect. That's I am trying to make it work for macvlan on VFs in host domain. I need to add VF secondary addresses in address filter, right? Do you have any aggregation performance comparison between multiple macvlans on PF and single macvlan per VF in host domain? I will run some test to figure it out. If you have some data to share that would be great. Thanks Shirley
