While checking RSS, I found something strange.
As a result of checking the distribution of CPU cores when received packets using DPDK 21.11.2, I found that only one core processing the packet.
When a Double Tagging (IEEE 802.1ad) packet with two vlan tags is recieved, one core is processing the packet. I am using MT27800 Family (ConnextX-5), and the F/W version is 16.28.1002.
I would like to know the following:
1. Does RSS operation support for IEEE 802.1ad packets?
2. If it is possible, how can i set up.
