Hi,
I’m looking for guide about how to setup DPDK based ASAP2 Flex vSwitch Acceleration on OpenStack environment for having VXLAN offload capability without sacrificing live migration capability like on SR-IOV based ASAP2 Direct Full vSwitch Offload (please inform if I’m wrong about this). Assume that every node has ConnectX-5 EN NIC.
Best regards,
Hi Marc,
Any progress of ASAP2 Flex GA?
On my understanding, OVS has two types of offload, using TC Flower (kernel) or using RTE Flow (DPDK), both are supported by ConnectX-5 EN. Am I right? If both are supported, do you have performance comparison between both, especially on VXLAN encap/decap offload?
Best regards,
Hi,
The ASAP2 flex is not yet GA.
The integration with OpenStack is not done by Mellanox but by Cloud Solution like RH RedHat Open Stack Platform and so for now we don’t have a solution included ASAP2 Flex and a guide to provide for his configuration into OpenStack
BTW, for SRIOV and live migration, the feature is under development and must be release around April.
