Hi,
I’m struggling with enabling ASAP2 since it does not packets whenever the openvswitch datapath is offloaded into the ConnectX6-DX.
The packets are not sent when the dp is offloaded ‘exactly’ (I have checked ovs-appctl dpctl/dump-flows -m type=offloaded), while I succeed in sending when the packet is dp miss so that it is handled by software.
What should I need to check more?
First not all rules can be offload, you can check below,
And, follow below to config,
Thank you,
However, I have seen the offloaded flow by the command ovs-appctl dpctl/dump-flows -m type=offloaded which means the dp is allowed to be offloaded.
Hence, we can make sure there is no non-supported action as well as the configuration is fine, can’t we?
Thank you for your comment and I hope your opinion.
That just means can add to rules table. You know some action need kernel mark then hardware follow. I am not sure the OFED and kernel version you used.
To get most compatible action I suggest you use OFED supported latest kernel and latest OFED and firmware and OVS.

Thank you for your reply, again.
I am using pretty much the latest versions for both OFED and kernel.
The OFED version is 5.8-3.0.7.0 and the OS is ubuntu 22.04 with 5.15.0-71 kernel.
ovs-vsctl --version prints 2.17.7.
The firmware version is 22.35.3006.
iproute2 version is 5.15.0
OFED 5.8 very old, please use OFED 23.10
AFAIK, it is the LTS version. but, with your suggestion, I will try it.
Thank you.
