[Ntop-misc] Using SW hash filters without replacing the nic driver

2015-12-28 Thread Amir Kaduri

Hi, When using SW hash filters only, without ZC or anything like that, is it a must to replace also the nic driver (igb or ixgbe) to a "pfringaware" one? I see that without replacing the nic driver, SW hash filters still work ok, and wonder whether there is anything else I should be aware of.
