RE: vhost + multiqueue + RSS question.

2014-11-16 Thread Venkateswara Rao Nandigam
I have a question related this topic. So How do you set the RSS Key on the Mellanox NIc? I mean from your Guest? If it being set as part of Host driver, is there a way to set it from Guest? I mean my guest will choose a RSS Key and will try to set on the Physical NIC. Thanks, Venkatesh -Or
