Hey guys,

Firstly, I'd like to thank you all for helping us out.
Attached to this mail are two files with all the statistics (client
machine + server machine).









*"The passthrough device shouldn't be any problem but I do recommend thatif
you're passing through the device to a VM, you try to match thedestination
PCIe function number to the origination ID to prevent oddissues.like if
your host device is:01:00.1 then (I'm not sure you can do this) I'd hope
the VM device is00:06.1, and not 00:06.0"*
Exactly what we are doing, we are matching.
You can see in the attached files that one of the machines is working with
eth0 00:06.0 and the other eth1 00:06.1

*"Also, do you see any stats or events on the switch side when link is
lost?"*
We use Cisco Nexus switches, and our network engineer said that he
sees events of link down from the ports.
