Hi, all I have two 82599 cards, it's required to test the pause function. I have done the following test: Comment the following line in ixgbe_fc_enable_generic: mflcn_reg |= IXGBE_MFLCN_DPF;
HOST A <----------> HOST B at host a, using the following program to send pause frame to host b. http://www.tux.org/pub/sites/www.zip.com.au/%257Eakpm/linux/flow-ctrl.c and at the same time, ping host b; After sending pause frame, ICMP reply time stamp will have a long interval. This could prove host b NIC responds to host a pause frame. Is there any possible way to force 82599 hardware generate pause frame without using packet generator? Or to be more general, how do I test pause function with two 82599 cards? any advice/suggestion would be appreciated. bill ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EMC VNX: the world's simplest storage, starting under $10K The only unified storage solution that offers unified management Up to 160% more powerful than alternatives and 25% more efficient.
