Subject: ixgbe RSS not working as expected with 8021q and bridging
Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2009 16:11:03 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091210231103.GA20231@esk.cs.usu.edu> (raw)
We have built a firewall with two 10 Gbit interfaces (intel 82598EB) and
are doing some testing. A simple bridge between the two interfaces acts
as expected with packets being distributed fairly evenly across all of
the rx/tx queues.
We then switched to tagged vlans on both interfaces (10 vlans each, 8
source and 8 dest addresses per vlan) and bridged eth0.N to eth1.N, and
many of our queues (and CPUs) remained idle, and all of our VLAN traffic
went out on the same tx queue. Are multiple transmit queues supported
with 802.1q? How do we figure out what is causing some of our receive
queues to be unused?
We are using 2.6.31 (from Debian) and ixgbe-2.0.44.14 .
