Hello:


Couple of questions for the 540-Twinville & "testpmd" app:



1.       How do I specify multiple receive queues/port -



Used the command line option -rxq=2 and get this error..



*******************

Fail: nb_rxq(2) is greater than max_rx_queues(1)

EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1

  Cause: FAIL from init_fwd_streams()

***************************



                Orelse, if I specify rxq=1 on command line and try to configure 
within the app by using 

                the "port config all rxq 2", I get the same error..as above.



Is there something missing here!!!





2.       If I use the igb_uio (dpdk driver), I am able to configure rxq >1.

My configuration: loopback cable between port0 and port1

Question a: How do I generate TX packets with multiple MAC address..?



I did this -- "mac_addr add 0 00:00:00:AA:BB:CC" as an additional MAC address 
(left the default as is)



                Can I assume that the TX of port0 will now generate Ethernet 
frames with 2 different MAC addresses?

                Frames with the default SMAC address, and frames with the 
MAC-address specified above?



                Can I use these MAC address as a classifier (using 
ethertype_filter), to steer frames to queues 0 & 1?







Thanks
