Hi Luke
it is strange it does not support promiscuous mode, it is based on standard
Intel 82599 chipset, it should work in promiscuous mode.
Anyway I would recommend 82599/X520 for 10Gbit, X710 has poor buffering power per
queue (<8K packets) with respect to 82599/X520 (32K packets).

Hi all,
I'm trying to source a card for my HP server to allow me to capture from some
10G fiber using PF_RING ZC. Was looking at HP Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 560SFP+
Adapter
(http://www8.hp.com/uk/en/products/iss-adapters/product-detail.html?oid=5283369)
which ticks all the boxes, but then stumbled upon
https://www.intelethernet-hp.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/8954-HP_Intel-Ethernet-Data-SheetFINAL.pdf
which on page 5 suggests that this NIC can't be used in promiscuous mode which
makes it kind of useless if it's true!
Does anyone have any experience with this NIC? If so is the no promiscuous
mode true? If so does anyone have any alternative they'd recommend given that
the card needs to be Intel 82599/X540/X710 based.
Cheers,
Luke
