[ovs-dev] Re： Re: Re: [PATCH v4 0/3] Add support for TSO with DPDK

[txfh2007]

Hi Flavio and all:

     Is there a way to support software TSO for DPDK tunnel network ? I have tried userspace TSO function, and running on tunnel network, I have got the following error:
     "Tunneling packets with HW offload flags is not supported: packet dropped" 
     So is there a way to work around if we would support both vlan and tunnel network on the same compute node ? 
     
Thanks
Timo
