The problem I found with the increasing RX errors is because a stats register was being read that does not exist in that given chipset and removing that register read would eliminate the false errors you were seeing. Here is part of the email I sent to Laurent. Hi Laurent, Well, it appears the problem is on the ixgbe driver the fccrc and fclast hw stats are not supported on 82598 only the 82599+ devices. On t3 you can look at the ixgbe_ethdev.c code I modified to remove these two stats, which caused ierrors to increase. You can also revert any changes in Pktgen to master as they did not help fix any thing. Sorry is it 6 am and I need to sleep some, I could not sleep tonight, so you I was able to debug the problem. Please remove the debug code in the ixgbe driver if you like as well and move that change to t1 machine. I will report this to the list later. The performance of pktgen/DPDK was not being effected by these counters. Thanks ++Keith
