Support for GENEVE inner tcp/udp flow rss on ConnectX-5

Infrastructure & Networking Adapters and Cables Ethernet Adapter Cards

I was attempting to do vpp based rte_flow create for the GENEVE inner tcp/udp flow based RSS , which does not seem to provide the necessary result. A similar configuration works for the NVGRE case. Please help to understand whether the GENEVE inner tcp/udp flow based RSS is supported with ConnectX-5. If so what is the specific version of the dpdk and mlx firmware version.

Hello Rupesh.Raghuvaran,

Thank you for posting your inquiry to the NVIDIA developer forums.

As ConnectX-5 is now end-of-life, we recommend trying the latest firmware and corresponding OFED and DPDK to see if everything functions correctly. If not, you may retry using CX6 and above cards.

You can refer to https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/networking/products/lts-releases/ (October 2022 LTS Branch (Supported through 2025)) for compatible versions.

Best regards,

Quanying Sun
