bnxt poll mode driver library
|
||
|
|
=============================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The bnxt poll mode library (**librte_pmd_bnxt**) implements support for
|
||
|
|
**Broadcom NetXtreme® C-Series**. These adapters support Standards-
|
||
|
|
compliant 10/25/50Gbps 30MPPS full-duplex throughput.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Information about this family of adapters can be found in the
|
||
|
|
`NetXtreme® Brand section <https://www.broadcom.com/products/ethernet-communication-and-switching?technology%5B%5D=88>`_
|
||
|
|
of the `Broadcom web site <http://www.broadcom.com/>`_.

Limitations
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With the current driver, allocated mbufs must be large enough to hold
|
||
|
|
the entire received frame. If the mbufs are not large enough, the
|
||
|
|
packets will be dropped. This is most limiting when jumbo frames are
|
||
|
|
used.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SR-IOV is not supported.
