Are you sending packets with different IP addresses?


[dpdk-users] Ixgbe empty queue stats

2021-02-27 Thread Trevor Highland
Hi all,

We have a DPDK application that’s running using 82599 NICs with the ixgbe 
driver. Our application makes use of RSS and runs with 8 or 16 queues depending 
on the environment. I was reviewing xstats from a DPDK application that we run, 
and found that ‘rx_qN_packets’ was 0 for all queues except queue 0.

I was able to reproduce this using dpdk-testpmd from the 20.11 release. 
Additionally I used the ethregs tool and confirmed that the registers are 
indeed 0. Is this expected behavior, and is there a proper way to get per queue 
packet counts from hardware registers?

./dpdk-testpmd -l 0-8 -n 4 -m5120,5120 -- -i  --forward-mode=rxonly --rxq=2 
--txq=2 --portmask=0xc --rxd=65536 --nb-cores=8 --rss-ip

I then run ‘start’
