VXLAN offload support is already there so I can make use of that in hardware. I assume we aren't talking about introducing a performance regression by removing the VXLAN Rx port notification code. Setting up any given environment I have to work with the hand I am dealt. If I can make use of the work you did to do offloading with standard NICs then I will, but more solutions for the performance with tunnels is always better. - Alex -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
