Hi Auranext,

Mellanox adapters are capable of exposing up to 127 virtual instances (Virtual Functions (VFs)) for each port in the Mellanox ConnectX family cards.

Please refer to the Firmware’s Release Notes of the ConnectX card, under the “known issues” section for rate limit per VF.

For example (ConnectX-6):
