+Identifying Your Adapter
+========================
+For information on how to identify your adapter, and for the latest Intel
+network drivers, refer to the Intel Support website:
+https://www.intel.com/support
+
+
+Command Line Parameters
+=======================
+If the driver is built as a module, the following optional parameters are used
+by entering them on the command line with the modprobe command using this
+syntax::
+
+    modprobe e1000e [<option>=<VAL1>,<VAL2>,...]
+
+There needs to be a <VAL#> for each network port in the system supported by
+this driver. The values will be applied to each instance, in function order.
+For example::
+
+    modprobe e1000e InterruptThrottleRate=16000,16000
+
+In this case, there are two network ports supported by e1000e in the system.
+The default value for each parameter is generally the recommended setting,
+unless otherwise noted.
+
+NOTE: A descriptor describes a data buffer and attributes related to the data
+buffer. This information is accessed by the hardware.
+
+InterruptThrottleRate
+---------------------
+:Valid Range: 0,1,3,4,100-100000
+:Default Value: 3
+
+Interrupt Throttle Rate controls the number of interrupts each interrupt
+vector can generate per second. Increasing ITR lowers latency at the cost of
+increased CPU utilization, though it may help throughput in some circumstances.
+
+Setting InterruptThrottleRate to a value greater or equal to 100
+will program the adapter to send out a maximum of that many interrupts
+per second, even if more packets have come in. This reduces interrupt
+load on the system and can lower CPU utilization under heavy load,
+but will increase latency as packets are not processed as quickly.
+
+The default behaviour of the driver previously assumed a static
+InterruptThrottleRate value of 8000, providing a good fallback value for
+all traffic types, but lacking in small packet performance and latency.
+The hardware can handle many more small packets per second however, and
+for this reason an adaptive interrupt moderation algorithm was implemented.
+
+The driver has two adaptive modes (setting 1 or 3) in which
+it dynamically adjusts the InterruptThrottleRate value based on the traffic
+that it receives. After determining the type of incoming traffic in the last
+timeframe, it will adjust the InterruptThrottleRate to an appropriate value
+for that traffic.
+
+The algorithm classifies the incoming traffic every interval into
+classes.  Once the class is determined, the InterruptThrottleRate value is
+adjusted to suit that traffic type the best. There are three classes defined:
+"Bulk traffic", for large amounts of packets of normal size; "Low latency",
+for small amounts of traffic and/or a significant percentage of small
+packets; and "Lowest latency", for almost completely small packets or
+minimal traffic.
+
+ - 0: Off
+      Turns off any interrupt moderation and may improve small packet latency.
+      However, this is generally not suitable for bulk throughput traffic due
+      to the increased CPU utilization of the higher interrupt rate.
+ - 1: Dynamic mode
+      This mode attempts to moderate interrupts per vector while maintaining
+      very low latency. This can sometimes cause extra CPU utilization. If
+      planning on deploying e1000e in a latency sensitive environment, this
+      parameter should be considered.
+ - 3: Dynamic Conservative mode (default)
+      In dynamic conservative mode, the InterruptThrottleRate value is set to
+      4000 for traffic that falls in class "Bulk traffic". If traffic falls in
+      the "Low latency" or "Lowest latency" class, the InterruptThrottleRate is
+      increased stepwise to 20000. This default mode is suitable for most
+      applications.
+ - 4: Simplified Balancing mode
+      In simplified mode the interrupt rate is based on the ratio of TX and
+      RX traffic.  If the bytes per second rate is approximately equal, the
+      interrupt rate will drop as low as 2000 interrupts per second.  If the
+      traffic is mostly transmit or mostly receive, the interrupt rate could
+      be as high as 8000.
+ - 100-100000:
+      Setting InterruptThrottleRate to a value greater or equal to 100
+      will program the adapter to send at most that many interrupts per second,
+      even if more packets have come in. This reduces interrupt load on the
+      system and can lower CPU utilization under heavy load, but will increase
+      latency as packets are not processed as quickly.
+
+NOTE: InterruptThrottleRate takes precedence over the TxAbsIntDelay and
+RxAbsIntDelay parameters. In other words, minimizing the receive and/or
+transmit absolute delays does not force the controller to generate more
+interrupts than what the Interrupt Throttle Rate allows.
+
+RxIntDelay
+----------
+:Valid Range: 0-65535 (0=off)
+:Default Value: 0
+
+This value delays the generation of receive interrupts in units of 1.024
+microseconds. Receive interrupt reduction can improve CPU efficiency if
+properly tuned for specific network traffic. Increasing this value adds extra
+latency to frame reception and can end up decreasing the throughput of TCP
+traffic. If the system is reporting dropped receives, this value may be set
+too high, causing the driver to run out of available receive descriptors.
+
+CAUTION: When setting RxIntDelay to a value other than 0, adapters may hang
+(stop transmitting) under certain network conditions. If this occurs a NETDEV
+WATCHDOG message is logged in the system event log. In addition, the
+controller is automatically reset, restoring the network connection. To
+eliminate the potential for the hang ensure that RxIntDelay is set to 0.
+
+RxAbsIntDelay
+-------------
+:Valid Range: 0-65535 (0=off)
+:Default Value: 8
+
+This value, in units of 1.024 microseconds, limits the delay in which a
+receive interrupt is generated. This value ensures that an interrupt is
+generated after the initial packet is received within the set amount of time,
+which is useful only if RxIntDelay is non-zero. Proper tuning, along with
+RxIntDelay, may improve traffic throughput in specific network conditions.
+
+TxIntDelay
+----------
+:Valid Range: 0-65535 (0=off)
+:Default Value: 8
+
+This value delays the generation of transmit interrupts in units of 1.024
+microseconds. Transmit interrupt reduction can improve CPU efficiency if
+properly tuned for specific network traffic. If the system is reporting
+dropped transmits, this value may be set too high causing the driver to run
+out of available transmit descriptors.
+
+TxAbsIntDelay
+-------------
+:Valid Range: 0-65535 (0=off)
+:Default Value: 32
+
+This value, in units of 1.024 microseconds, limits the delay in which a
+transmit interrupt is generated. It is useful only if TxIntDelay is non-zero.
+It ensures that an interrupt is generated after the initial Packet is sent on
+the wire within the set amount of time. Proper tuning, along with TxIntDelay,
+may improve traffic throughput in specific network conditions.
+
+copybreak
+---------
+:Valid Range: 0-xxxxxxx (0=off)
+:Default Value: 256
+
+The driver copies all packets below or equaling this size to a fresh receive
+buffer before handing it up the stack.
+This parameter differs from other parameters because it is a single (not 1,1,1
+etc.) parameter applied to all driver instances and it is also available
+during runtime at /sys/module/e1000e/parameters/copybreak.
+
+To use copybreak, type::
+
+    modprobe e1000e.ko copybreak=128
+
+SmartPowerDownEnable
+--------------------
+:Valid Range: 0,1
+:Default Value: 0 (disabled)
+
+Allows the PHY to turn off in lower power states. The user can turn off this
+parameter in supported chipsets.
+
+KumeranLockLoss
+---------------
+:Valid Range: 0,1
+:Default Value: 1 (enabled)
+
+This workaround skips resetting the PHY at shutdown for the initial silicon
+releases of ICH8 systems.
+
+IntMode
+-------
+:Valid Range: 0-2
+:Default Value: 0
+
+   +-------+----------------+
+   | Value | Interrupt Mode |
+   +=======+================+
+   |   0   |     Legacy     |
+   +-------+----------------+
+   |   1   |       MSI      |
+   +-------+----------------+
+   |   2   |      MSI-X     |
+   +-------+----------------+
+
+IntMode allows load time control over the type of interrupt registered for by
+the driver. MSI-X is required for multiple queue support, and some kernels and
+combinations of kernel .config options will force a lower level of interrupt
+support.
+
+This command will show different values for each type of interrupt::
+
+  cat /proc/interrupts
+
+CrcStripping
+------------
+:Valid Range: 0,1
+:Default Value: 1 (enabled)
+
+Strip the CRC from received packets before sending up the network stack. If
+you have a machine with a BMC enabled but cannot receive IPMI traffic after
+loading or enabling the driver, try disabling this feature.
+
+WriteProtectNVM
+---------------
+:Valid Range: 0,1
+:Default Value: 1 (enabled)
+
+If set to 1, configure the hardware to ignore all write/erase cycles to the
+GbE region in the ICHx NVM (in order to prevent accidental corruption of the
+NVM). This feature can be disabled by setting the parameter to 0 during initial
+driver load.
+
+NOTE: The machine must be power cycled (full off/on) when enabling NVM writes
+via setting the parameter to zero. Once the NVM has been locked (via the
+parameter at 1 when the driver loads) it cannot be unlocked except via power
+cycle.
+
+Debug
+-----
+:Valid Range: 0-16 (0=none,...,16=all)
+:Default Value: 0
+
+This parameter adjusts the level of debug messages displayed in the system logs.
+
+
+Additional Features and Configurations
+======================================
+
+Jumbo Frames
+------------
+Jumbo Frames support is enabled by changing the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)
+to a value larger than the default value of 1500.
+
+Use the ifconfig command to increase the MTU size. For example, enter the
+following where <x> is the interface number::
+
+    ifconfig eth<x> mtu 9000 up
+
+Alternatively, you can use the ip command as follows::
+
+    ip link set mtu 9000 dev eth<x>
+    ip link set up dev eth<x>
+
+This setting is not saved across reboots. The setting change can be made
+permanent by adding 'MTU=9000' to the file:
+
+- For RHEL: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth<x>
+- For SLES: /etc/sysconfig/network/<config_file>
+
+NOTE: The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 8996. This value coincides
+with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 9018 bytes.
+
+NOTE: Using Jumbo frames at 10 or 100 Mbps is not supported and may result in
+poor performance or loss of link.
+
+NOTE: The following adapters limit Jumbo Frames sized packets to a maximum of
+4088 bytes:
+
+  - Intel(R) 82578DM Gigabit Network Connection
+  - Intel(R) 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection
+
+The following adapters do not support Jumbo Frames:
+
+  - Intel(R) PRO/1000 Gigabit Server Adapter
+  - Intel(R) PRO/1000 PM Network Connection
+  - Intel(R) 82562G 10/100 Network Connection
+  - Intel(R) 82562G-2 10/100 Network Connection
+  - Intel(R) 82562GT 10/100 Network Connection
+  - Intel(R) 82562GT-2 10/100 Network Connection
+  - Intel(R) 82562V 10/100 Network Connection
+  - Intel(R) 82562V-2 10/100 Network Connection
+  - Intel(R) 82566DC Gigabit Network Connection
+  - Intel(R) 82566DC-2 Gigabit Network Connection
+  - Intel(R) 82566DM Gigabit Network Connection
+  - Intel(R) 82566MC Gigabit Network Connection
+  - Intel(R) 82566MM Gigabit Network Connection
+  - Intel(R) 82567V-3 Gigabit Network Connection
+  - Intel(R) 82577LC Gigabit Network Connection
+  - Intel(R) 82578DC Gigabit Network Connection
+
+NOTE: Jumbo Frames cannot be configured on an 82579-based Network device if
+MACSec is enabled on the system.
+
+
+ethtool
+-------
+The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
+diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The latest ethtool
+version is required for this functionality. Download it at:
+
+https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/
+
+NOTE: When validating enable/disable tests on some parts (for example, 82578),
+it is necessary to add a few seconds between tests when working with ethtool.
+
+
+Speed and Duplex Configuration
+------------------------------
+In addressing speed and duplex configuration issues, you need to distinguish
+between copper-based adapters and fiber-based adapters.
+
+In the default mode, an Intel(R) Ethernet Network Adapter using copper
+connections will attempt to auto-negotiate with its link partner to determine
+the best setting. If the adapter cannot establish link with the link partner
+using auto-negotiation, you may need to manually configure the adapter and link
+partner to identical settings to establish link and pass packets. This should
+only be needed when attempting to link with an older switch that does not
+support auto-negotiation or one that has been forced to a specific speed or
+duplex mode. Your link partner must match the setting you choose. 1 Gbps speeds
+and higher cannot be forced. Use the autonegotiation advertising setting to
+manually set devices for 1 Gbps and higher.
+
+Speed, duplex, and autonegotiation advertising are configured through the
+ethtool* utility.
+
+Caution: Only experienced network administrators should force speed and duplex
+or change autonegotiation advertising manually. The settings at the switch must
+always match the adapter settings. Adapter performance may suffer or your
+adapter may not operate if you configure the adapter differently from your
+switch.
+
+An Intel(R) Ethernet Network Adapter using fiber-based connections, however,
+will not attempt to auto-negotiate with its link partner since those adapters
+operate only in full duplex and only at their native speed.
+
+
+Enabling Wake on LAN* (WoL)
+---------------------------
+WoL is configured through the ethtool* utility.
+
+WoL will be enabled on the system during the next shut down or reboot. For
+this driver version, in order to enable WoL, the e1000e driver must be loaded
+prior to shutting down or suspending the system.
+
+NOTE: Wake on LAN is only supported on port A for the following devices:
+- Intel(R) PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Network Connection
+- Intel(R) PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Connection
+- Intel(R) PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter
+- Intel(R) PRO/1000 PF Dual Port Server Adapter
+- Intel(R) PRO/1000 PT Quad Port Server Adapter
+- Intel(R) Gigabit PT Quad Port Server ExpressModule

-
-* NOTE: The Intel(R) PRO/1000 P Dual Port Server Adapter is supported by
-  the e1000 driver, not the e1000e driver due to the 82546 part being used
-  behind a PCI Express bridge.

-Command Line Parameters
-=======================
-
-The default value for each parameter is generally the recommended setting,
-unless otherwise noted.
-
-NOTES:  For more information about the InterruptThrottleRate,
-        RxIntDelay, TxIntDelay, RxAbsIntDelay, and TxAbsIntDelay
-        parameters, see the application note at:
-        http://www.intel.com/design/network/applnots/ap450.htm
-
-InterruptThrottleRate
----------------------
-Valid Range:   0,1,3,4,100-100000 (0=off, 1=dynamic, 3=dynamic conservative,
-                                   4=simplified balancing)
-Default Value: 3
-
-The driver can limit the amount of interrupts per second that the adapter
-will generate for incoming packets. It does this by writing a value to the
-adapter that is based on the maximum amount of interrupts that the adapter
-will generate per second.
-
-Setting InterruptThrottleRate to a value greater or equal to 100
-will program the adapter to send out a maximum of that many interrupts
-per second, even if more packets have come in. This reduces interrupt
-load on the system and can lower CPU utilization under heavy load,
-but will increase latency as packets are not processed as quickly.
-
-The default behaviour of the driver previously assumed a static
-InterruptThrottleRate value of 8000, providing a good fallback value for
-all traffic types, but lacking in small packet performance and latency.
-The hardware can handle many more small packets per second however, and
-for this reason an adaptive interrupt moderation algorithm was implemented.
-
-The driver has two adaptive modes (setting 1 or 3) in which
-it dynamically adjusts the InterruptThrottleRate value based on the traffic
-that it receives. After determining the type of incoming traffic in the last
-timeframe, it will adjust the InterruptThrottleRate to an appropriate value
-for that traffic.
-
-The algorithm classifies the incoming traffic every interval into
-classes.  Once the class is determined, the InterruptThrottleRate value is
-adjusted to suit that traffic type the best. There are three classes defined:
-"Bulk traffic", for large amounts of packets of normal size; "Low latency",
-for small amounts of traffic and/or a significant percentage of small
-packets; and "Lowest latency", for almost completely small packets or
-minimal traffic.
-
-In dynamic conservative mode, the InterruptThrottleRate value is set to 4000
-for traffic that falls in class "Bulk traffic". If traffic falls in the "Low
-latency" or "Lowest latency" class, the InterruptThrottleRate is increased
-stepwise to 20000. This default mode is suitable for most applications.
-
-For situations where low latency is vital such as cluster or
-grid computing, the algorithm can reduce latency even more when
-InterruptThrottleRate is set to mode 1. In this mode, which operates
-the same as mode 3, the InterruptThrottleRate will be increased stepwise to
-70000 for traffic in class "Lowest latency".
-
-In simplified mode the interrupt rate is based on the ratio of TX and
-RX traffic.  If the bytes per second rate is approximately equal, the
-interrupt rate will drop as low as 2000 interrupts per second.  If the
-traffic is mostly transmit or mostly receive, the interrupt rate could
-be as high as 8000.
-
-Setting InterruptThrottleRate to 0 turns off any interrupt moderation
-and may improve small packet latency, but is generally not suitable
-for bulk throughput traffic.
-
-NOTE:  InterruptThrottleRate takes precedence over the TxAbsIntDelay and
-       RxAbsIntDelay parameters.  In other words, minimizing the receive
-       and/or transmit absolute delays does not force the controller to
-       generate more interrupts than what the Interrupt Throttle Rate
-       allows.
-
-NOTE:  When e1000e is loaded with default settings and multiple adapters
-       are in use simultaneously, the CPU utilization may increase non-
-       linearly.  In order to limit the CPU utilization without impacting
-       the overall throughput, we recommend that you load the driver as
-       follows:
-
-           modprobe e1000e InterruptThrottleRate=3000,3000,3000
-
-       This sets the InterruptThrottleRate to 3000 interrupts/sec for
-       the first, second, and third instances of the driver.  The range
-       of 2000 to 3000 interrupts per second works on a majority of
-       systems and is a good starting point, but the optimal value will
-       be platform-specific.  If CPU utilization is not a concern, use
-       RX_POLLING (NAPI) and default driver settings.
-
-RxIntDelay
-----------
-Valid Range:   0-65535 (0=off)
-Default Value: 0
-
-This value delays the generation of receive interrupts in units of 1.024
-microseconds.  Receive interrupt reduction can improve CPU efficiency if
-properly tuned for specific network traffic.  Increasing this value adds
-extra latency to frame reception and can end up decreasing the throughput
-of TCP traffic.  If the system is reporting dropped receives, this value
-may be set too high, causing the driver to run out of available receive
-descriptors.
-
-CAUTION:  When setting RxIntDelay to a value other than 0, adapters may
-          hang (stop transmitting) under certain network conditions.  If
-          this occurs a NETDEV WATCHDOG message is logged in the system
-          event log.  In addition, the controller is automatically reset,
-          restoring the network connection.  To eliminate the potential
-          for the hang ensure that RxIntDelay is set to 0.
-
-RxAbsIntDelay
--------------
-Valid Range:   0-65535 (0=off)
-Default Value: 8
-
-This value, in units of 1.024 microseconds, limits the delay in which a
-receive interrupt is generated.  Useful only if RxIntDelay is non-zero,
-this value ensures that an interrupt is generated after the initial
-packet is received within the set amount of time.  Proper tuning,
-along with RxIntDelay, may improve traffic throughput in specific network
-conditions.
-
-TxIntDelay
-----------
-Valid Range:   0-65535 (0=off)
-Default Value: 8
-
-This value delays the generation of transmit interrupts in units of
-1.024 microseconds.  Transmit interrupt reduction can improve CPU
-efficiency if properly tuned for specific network traffic.  If the
-system is reporting dropped transmits, this value may be set too high
-causing the driver to run out of available transmit descriptors.
-
-TxAbsIntDelay
--------------
-Valid Range:   0-65535 (0=off)
-Default Value: 32
-
-This value, in units of 1.024 microseconds, limits the delay in which a
-transmit interrupt is generated.  Useful only if TxIntDelay is non-zero,
-this value ensures that an interrupt is generated after the initial
-packet is sent on the wire within the set amount of time.  Proper tuning,
-along with TxIntDelay, may improve traffic throughput in specific
-network conditions.
-
-Copybreak
----------
-Valid Range:   0-xxxxxxx (0=off)
-Default Value: 256
-
-Driver copies all packets below or equaling this size to a fresh RX
-buffer before handing it up the stack.
-
-This parameter is different than other parameters, in that it is a
-single (not 1,1,1 etc.) parameter applied to all driver instances and
-it is also available during runtime at
-/sys/module/e1000e/parameters/copybreak
-
-SmartPowerDownEnable
---------------------
-Valid Range: 0-1
-Default Value:  0 (disabled)
-
-Allows PHY to turn off in lower power states. The user can set this parameter
-in supported chipsets.
-
-KumeranLockLoss
----------------
-Valid Range: 0-1
-Default Value: 1 (enabled)
-
-This workaround skips resetting the PHY at shutdown for the initial
-silicon releases of ICH8 systems.
-
-IntMode
--------
-Valid Range: 0-2 (0=legacy, 1=MSI, 2=MSI-X)
-Default Value: 2
-
-Allows changing the interrupt mode at module load time, without requiring a
-recompile. If the driver load fails to enable a specific interrupt mode, the
-driver will try other interrupt modes, from least to most compatible.  The
-interrupt order is MSI-X, MSI, Legacy.  If specifying MSI (IntMode=1)
-interrupts, only MSI and Legacy will be attempted.
-
-CrcStripping
-------------
-Valid Range: 0-1
-Default Value: 1 (enabled)
-
-Strip the CRC from received packets before sending up the network stack.  If
-you have a machine with a BMC enabled but cannot receive IPMI traffic after
-loading or enabling the driver, try disabling this feature.
-
-WriteProtectNVM
----------------
-Valid Range: 0,1
-Default Value: 1
-
-If set to 1, configure the hardware to ignore all write/erase cycles to the
-GbE region in the ICHx NVM (in order to prevent accidental corruption of the
-NVM). This feature can be disabled by setting the parameter to 0 during initial
-driver load.
-NOTE: The machine must be power cycled (full off/on) when enabling NVM writes
-via setting the parameter to zero. Once the NVM has been locked (via the
-parameter at 1 when the driver loads) it cannot be unlocked except via power
-cycle.
-
-Additional Configurations
-=========================
-
-  Jumbo Frames
-  ------------
-  Jumbo Frames support is enabled by changing the MTU to a value larger than
-  the default of 1500.  Use the ifconfig command to increase the MTU size.
-  For example:
-
-       ifconfig eth<x> mtu 9000 up
-
-  This setting is not saved across reboots.
-
-  Notes:
-
-  - The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 9216.  This value coincides
-    with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 9234 bytes.
-
-  - Using Jumbo frames at 10 or 100 Mbps is not supported and may result in
-    poor performance or loss of link.
-
-  - Some adapters limit Jumbo Frames sized packets to a maximum of
-    4096 bytes and some adapters do not support Jumbo Frames.
-
-  - Jumbo Frames cannot be configured on an 82579-based Network device, if
-    MACSec is enabled on the system.
-
-  ethtool
-  -------
-  The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
-  diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information.  We
-  strongly recommend downloading the latest version of ethtool at:
-
-  https://kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/
-
-  NOTE: When validating enable/disable tests on some parts (82578, for example)
-  you need to add a few seconds between tests when working with ethtool.
-
-  Speed and Duplex
-  ----------------
-  Speed and Duplex are configured through the ethtool* utility. For
-  instructions,  refer to the ethtool man page.
-
-  Enabling Wake on LAN* (WoL)
-  ---------------------------
-  WoL is configured through the ethtool* utility. For instructions on
-  enabling WoL with ethtool, refer to the ethtool man page.
-
-  WoL will be enabled on the system during the next shut down or reboot.
-  For this driver version, in order to enable WoL, the e1000e driver must be
-  loaded when shutting down or rebooting the system.
-
-  In most cases Wake On LAN is only supported on port A for multiple port
-  adapters. To verify if a port supports Wake on Lan run ethtool eth<X>.

+
+Identifying Your Adapter
+========================
+The driver in this release is compatible with devices based on the Intel(R)
+Ethernet Multi-host Controller.
+
+For information on how to identify your adapter, and for the latest Intel
+network drivers, refer to the Intel Support website:
+http://www.intel.com/support
+
+
+Flow Control
+------------
+The Intel(R) Ethernet Switch Host Interface Driver does not support Flow
+Control. It will not send pause frames. This may result in dropped frames.
+
+
+Virtual Functions (VFs)
+-----------------------
+Use sysfs to enable VFs.
+Valid Range: 0-64
+
+For example::
+
+    echo $num_vf_enabled > /sys/class/net/$dev/device/sriov_numvfs //enable VFs
+    echo 0 > /sys/class/net/$dev/device/sriov_numvfs //disable VFs
+
+NOTE: Neither the device nor the driver control how VFs are mapped into config
+space. Bus layout will vary by operating system. On operating systems that
+support it, you can check sysfs to find the mapping.
+
+NOTE: When SR-IOV mode is enabled, hardware VLAN filtering and VLAN tag
+stripping/insertion will remain enabled. Please remove the old VLAN filter
+before the new VLAN filter is added. For example::
+
+    ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 100	// set vlan 100 for VF 0
+    ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 0	// Delete vlan 100
+    ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 200	// set a new vlan 200 for VF 0
+
+
+Additional Features and Configurations
+======================================
+
+Jumbo Frames
+------------
+Jumbo Frames support is enabled by changing the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)
+to a value larger than the default value of 1500.
+
+Use the ifconfig command to increase the MTU size. For example, enter the
+following where <x> is the interface number::
+
+    ifconfig eth<x> mtu 9000 up
+
+Alternatively, you can use the ip command as follows::
+
+    ip link set mtu 9000 dev eth<x>
+    ip link set up dev eth<x>
+
+This setting is not saved across reboots. The setting change can be made
+permanent by adding 'MTU=9000' to the file:
+
+- For RHEL: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth<x>
+- For SLES: /etc/sysconfig/network/<config_file>
+
+NOTE: The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 15342. This value coincides
+with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 15364 bytes.
+
+NOTE: This driver will attempt to use multiple page sized buffers to receive
+each jumbo packet. This should help to avoid buffer starvation issues when
+allocating receive packets.
+
+
+Generic Receive Offload, aka GRO
+--------------------------------
+The driver supports the in-kernel software implementation of GRO. GRO has
+shown that by coalescing Rx traffic into larger chunks of data, CPU
+utilization can be significantly reduced when under large Rx load. GRO is an
+evolution of the previously-used LRO interface. GRO is able to coalesce
+other protocols besides TCP. It's also safe to use with configurations that
+are problematic for LRO, namely bridging and iSCSI.
+
+
+
+Supported ethtool Commands and Options for Filtering
+----------------------------------------------------
+-n --show-nfc
+  Retrieves the receive network flow classification configurations.
+
+rx-flow-hash tcp4|udp4|ah4|esp4|sctp4|tcp6|udp6|ah6|esp6|sctp6

+Driver information can be obtained using ethtool, lspci, and ifconfig.
+Instructions on updating ethtool can be found in the section Additional
+Configurations later in this document.
+
+For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation
+supplied with your Intel adapter. All hardware requirements listed apply to use
+with Linux.
+
+
+Identifying Your Adapter
+========================
+The driver is compatible with devices based on the following:
+
+ * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X710
+ * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller XL710
+ * Intel(R) Ethernet Network Connection X722
+ * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller XXV710
+
+For the best performance, make sure the latest NVM/FW is installed on your
+device.
+
+For information on how to identify your adapter, and for the latest NVM/FW
+images and Intel network drivers, refer to the Intel Support website:

+----------------------
+For information about supported media, refer to this document:
+https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/release-notes/xl710-ethernet-controller-feature-matrix.pdf
+
+NOTE: Some adapters based on the Intel(R) Ethernet Controller 700 Series only
+support Intel Ethernet Optics modules. On these adapters, other modules are not
+supported and will not function.  In all cases Intel recommends using Intel
+Ethernet Optics; other modules may function but are not validated by Intel.
+Contact Intel for supported media types.
+
+NOTE: For connections based on Intel(R) Ethernet Controller 700 Series, support
+is dependent on your system board. Please see your vendor for details.
+
+NOTE: In systems that do not have adequate airflow to cool the adapter and
+optical modules, you must use high temperature optical modules.
+
+Virtual Functions (VFs)
+-----------------------
+Use sysfs to enable VFs. For example::
+
+  #echo $num_vf_enabled > /sys/class/net/$dev/device/sriov_numvfs #enable VFs
+  #echo 0 > /sys/class/net/$dev/device/sriov_numvfs #disable VFs
+
+For example, the following instructions will configure PF eth0 and the first VF
+on VLAN 10::
+
+  $ ip link set dev eth0 vf 0 vlan 10
+
+VLAN Tag Packet Steering
+------------------------
+Allows you to send all packets with a specific VLAN tag to a particular SR-IOV
+virtual function (VF). Further, this feature allows you to designate a
+particular VF as trusted, and allows that trusted VF to request selective
+promiscuous mode on the Physical Function (PF).
+
+To set a VF as trusted or untrusted, enter the following command in the
+Hypervisor::
+
+  # ip link set dev eth0 vf 1 trust [on|off]
+
+Once the VF is designated as trusted, use the following commands in the VM to
+set the VF to promiscuous mode.
+
+::
+
+  For promiscuous all:
+  #ip link set eth2 promisc on
+  Where eth2 is a VF interface in the VM
+
+  For promiscuous Multicast:
+  #ip link set eth2 allmulticast on
+  Where eth2 is a VF interface in the VM
+
+NOTE: By default, the ethtool priv-flag vf-true-promisc-support is set to
+"off",meaning that promiscuous mode for the VF will be limited. To set the
+promiscuous mode for the VF to true promiscuous and allow the VF to see all
+ingress traffic, use the following command::
+
+  #ethtool -set-priv-flags p261p1 vf-true-promisc-support on
+
+The vf-true-promisc-support priv-flag does not enable promiscuous mode; rather,
+it designates which type of promiscuous mode (limited or true) you will get
+when you enable promiscuous mode using the ip link commands above. Note that
+this is a global setting that affects the entire device. However,the
+vf-true-promisc-support priv-flag is only exposed to the first PF of the
+device. The PF remains in limited promiscuous mode (unless it is in MFP mode)
+regardless of the vf-true-promisc-support setting.
+
+Now add a VLAN interface on the VF interface::
+
+  #ip link add link eth2 name eth2.100 type vlan id 100
+
+Note that the order in which you set the VF to promiscuous mode and add the
+VLAN interface does not matter (you can do either first). The end result in
+this example is that the VF will get all traffic that is tagged with VLAN 100.
+
+Intel(R) Ethernet Flow Director
+-------------------------------
+The Intel Ethernet Flow Director performs the following tasks:
+
+- Directs receive packets according to their flows to different queues.
+- Enables tight control on routing a flow in the platform.
+- Matches flows and CPU cores for flow affinity.
+- Supports multiple parameters for flexible flow classification and load
+  balancing (in SFP mode only).
+
+NOTE: The Linux i40e driver supports the following flow types: IPv4, TCPv4, and
+UDPv4. For a given flow type, it supports valid combinations of IP addresses
+(source or destination) and UDP/TCP ports (source and destination). For
+example, you can supply only a source IP address, a source IP address and a
+destination port, or any combination of one or more of these four parameters.
+
+NOTE: The Linux i40e driver allows you to filter traffic based on a
+user-defined flexible two-byte pattern and offset by using the ethtool user-def
+and mask fields. Only L3 and L4 flow types are supported for user-defined
+flexible filters. For a given flow type, you must clear all Intel Ethernet Flow
+Director filters before changing the input set (for that flow type).
+
+To enable or disable the Intel Ethernet Flow Director::
+
+  # ethtool -K ethX ntuple <on|off>
+
+When disabling ntuple filters, all the user programmed filters are flushed from
+the driver cache and hardware. All needed filters must be re-added when ntuple
+is re-enabled.
+
+To add a filter that directs packet to queue 2, use -U or -N switch::
+
+  # ethtool -N ethX flow-type tcp4 src-ip 192.168.10.1 dst-ip \
+  192.168.10.2 src-port 2000 dst-port 2001 action 2 [loc 1]
+
+To set a filter using only the source and destination IP address::
+
+  # ethtool -N ethX flow-type tcp4 src-ip 192.168.10.1 dst-ip \
+  192.168.10.2 action 2 [loc 1]
+
+To see the list of filters currently present::
+
+  # ethtool <-u|-n> ethX
+
+Application Targeted Routing (ATR) Perfect Filters
+--------------------------------------------------
+ATR is enabled by default when the kernel is in multiple transmit queue mode.
+An ATR Intel Ethernet Flow Director filter rule is added when a TCP-IP flow
+starts and is deleted when the flow ends. When a TCP-IP Intel Ethernet Flow
+Director rule is added from ethtool (Sideband filter), ATR is turned off by the
+driver. To re-enable ATR, the sideband can be disabled with the ethtool -K
+option. For example::
+
+  ethtool –K [adapter] ntuple [off|on]
+
+If sideband is re-enabled after ATR is re-enabled, ATR remains enabled until a
+TCP-IP flow is added. When all TCP-IP sideband rules are deleted, ATR is
+automatically re-enabled.
+
+Packets that match the ATR rules are counted in fdir_atr_match stats in
+ethtool, which also can be used to verify whether ATR rules still exist.
+
+Sideband Perfect Filters
+------------------------
+Sideband Perfect Filters are used to direct traffic that matches specified
+characteristics. They are enabled through ethtool's ntuple interface. To add a
+new filter use the following command::
+
+  ethtool -U <device> flow-type <type> src-ip <ip> dst-ip <ip> src-port <port> \
+  dst-port <port> action <queue>
+
+Where:
+  <device> - the ethernet device to program
+  <type> - can be ip4, tcp4, udp4, or sctp4
+  <ip> - the ip address to match on
+  <port> - the port number to match on
+  <queue> - the queue to direct traffic towards (-1 discards matching traffic)
+
+Use the following command to display all of the active filters::
+
+  ethtool -u <device>
+
+Use the following command to delete a filter::
+
+  ethtool -U <device> delete <N>
+
+Where <N> is the filter id displayed when printing all the active filters, and
+may also have been specified using "loc <N>" when adding the filter.
+
+The following example matches TCP traffic sent from 192.168.0.1, port 5300,
+directed to 192.168.0.5, port 80, and sends it to queue 7::
+
+  ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type tcp4 src-ip 192.168.0.1 dst-ip 192.168.0.5 \
+  src-port 5300 dst-port 80 action 7
+
+For each flow-type, the programmed filters must all have the same matching
+input set. For example, issuing the following two commands is acceptable::
+
+  ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 src-ip 192.168.0.1 src-port 5300 action 7
+  ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 src-ip 192.168.0.5 src-port 55 action 10
+
+Issuing the next two commands, however, is not acceptable, since the first
+specifies src-ip and the second specifies dst-ip::
+
+  ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 src-ip 192.168.0.1 src-port 5300 action 7
+  ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 dst-ip 192.168.0.5 src-port 55 action 10
+
+The second command will fail with an error. You may program multiple filters
+with the same fields, using different values, but, on one device, you may not
+program two tcp4 filters with different matching fields.
+
+Matching on a sub-portion of a field is not supported by the i40e driver, thus
+partial mask fields are not supported.
+
+The driver also supports matching user-defined data within the packet payload.
+This flexible data is specified using the "user-def" field of the ethtool
+command in the following way:
+
++----------------------------+--------------------------+
+| 31    28    24    20    16 | 15    12    8    4    0  |
++----------------------------+--------------------------+
+| offset into packet payload | 2 bytes of flexible data |
++----------------------------+--------------------------+
+
+For example,
+
+::
+
+  ... user-def 0x4FFFF ...
+
+tells the filter to look 4 bytes into the payload and match that value against
+0xFFFF. The offset is based on the beginning of the payload, and not the
+beginning of the packet. Thus
+
+::
+
+  flow-type tcp4 ... user-def 0x8BEAF ...
+
+would match TCP/IPv4 packets which have the value 0xBEAF 8 bytes into the
+TCP/IPv4 payload.
+
+Note that ICMP headers are parsed as 4 bytes of header and 4 bytes of payload.
+Thus to match the first byte of the payload, you must actually add 4 bytes to
+the offset. Also note that ip4 filters match both ICMP frames as well as raw
+(unknown) ip4 frames, where the payload will be the L3 payload of the IP4 frame.
+
+The maximum offset is 64. The hardware will only read up to 64 bytes of data
+from the payload. The offset must be even because the flexible data is 2 bytes
+long and must be aligned to byte 0 of the packet payload.
+
+The user-defined flexible offset is also considered part of the input set and
+cannot be programmed separately for multiple filters of the same type. However,
+the flexible data is not part of the input set and multiple filters may use the
+same offset but match against different data.
+
+To create filters that direct traffic to a specific Virtual Function, use the
+"action" parameter. Specify the action as a 64 bit value, where the lower 32
+bits represents the queue number, while the next 8 bits represent which VF.
+Note that 0 is the PF, so the VF identifier is offset by 1. For example::
+
+  ... action 0x800000002 ...
+
+specifies to direct traffic to Virtual Function 7 (8 minus 1) into queue 2 of
+that VF.
+
+Note that these filters will not break internal routing rules, and will not
+route traffic that otherwise would not have been sent to the specified Virtual
+Function.
+
+Setting the link-down-on-close Private Flag
+-------------------------------------------
+When the link-down-on-close private flag is set to "on", the port's link will
+go down when the interface is brought down using the ifconfig ethX down command.
+
+Use ethtool to view and set link-down-on-close, as follows::
+
+  ethtool --show-priv-flags ethX
+  ethtool --set-priv-flags ethX link-down-on-close [on|off]
+
+Viewing Link Messages
+---------------------
+Link messages will not be displayed to the console if the distribution is
+restricting system messages. In order to see network driver link messages on
+your console, set dmesg to eight by entering the following::
+
+  dmesg -n 8
+
+NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots.
+
+Jumbo Frames
+------------
+Jumbo Frames support is enabled by changing the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)
+to a value larger than the default value of 1500.
+
+Use the ifconfig command to increase the MTU size. For example, enter the
+following where <x> is the interface number::
+
+  ifconfig eth<x> mtu 9000 up
+
+Alternatively, you can use the ip command as follows::
+
+  ip link set mtu 9000 dev eth<x>
+  ip link set up dev eth<x>
+
+This setting is not saved across reboots. The setting change can be made
+permanent by adding 'MTU=9000' to the file::
+
+  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth<x> // for RHEL
+  /etc/sysconfig/network/<config_file> // for SLES
+
+NOTE: The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 9702. This value coincides
+with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 9728 bytes.
+
+NOTE: This driver will attempt to use multiple page sized buffers to receive
+each jumbo packet. This should help to avoid buffer starvation issues when
+allocating receive packets.
+
+ethtool
+-------
+The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
+diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The latest ethtool
+version is required for this functionality. Download it at:
+https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/
+
+Supported ethtool Commands and Options for Filtering
+----------------------------------------------------
+-n --show-nfc
+  Retrieves the receive network flow classification configurations.
+
+rx-flow-hash tcp4|udp4|ah4|esp4|sctp4|tcp6|udp6|ah6|esp6|sctp6
+  Retrieves the hash options for the specified network traffic type.
+
+-N --config-nfc
+  Configures the receive network flow classification.
+
+rx-flow-hash tcp4|udp4|ah4|esp4|sctp4|tcp6|udp6|ah6|esp6|sctp6 m|v|t|s|d|f|n|r...
+  Configures the hash options for the specified network traffic type.
+
+udp4 UDP over IPv4
+udp6 UDP over IPv6
+
+f Hash on bytes 0 and 1 of the Layer 4 header of the Rx packet.
+n Hash on bytes 2 and 3 of the Layer 4 header of the Rx packet.
+
+Speed and Duplex Configuration
+------------------------------
+In addressing speed and duplex configuration issues, you need to distinguish
+between copper-based adapters and fiber-based adapters.
+
+In the default mode, an Intel(R) Ethernet Network Adapter using copper
+connections will attempt to auto-negotiate with its link partner to determine
+the best setting. If the adapter cannot establish link with the link partner
+using auto-negotiation, you may need to manually configure the adapter and link
+partner to identical settings to establish link and pass packets. This should
+only be needed when attempting to link with an older switch that does not
+support auto-negotiation or one that has been forced to a specific speed or
+duplex mode. Your link partner must match the setting you choose. 1 Gbps speeds
+and higher cannot be forced. Use the autonegotiation advertising setting to
+manually set devices for 1 Gbps and higher.
+
+NOTE: You cannot set the speed for devices based on the Intel(R) Ethernet
+Network Adapter XXV710 based devices.
+
+Speed, duplex, and autonegotiation advertising are configured through the
+ethtool* utility.
+
+Caution: Only experienced network administrators should force speed and duplex
+or change autonegotiation advertising manually. The settings at the switch must
+always match the adapter settings. Adapter performance may suffer or your
+adapter may not operate if you configure the adapter differently from your
+switch.
+
+An Intel(R) Ethernet Network Adapter using fiber-based connections, however,
+will not attempt to auto-negotiate with its link partner since those adapters
+operate only in full duplex and only at their native speed.
+
+NAPI
+----
+NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the i40e driver.
+For more information on NAPI, see
+https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/networking/napi
+
+Flow Control
+------------
+Ethernet Flow Control (IEEE 802.3x) can be configured with ethtool to enable
+receiving and transmitting pause frames for i40e. When transmit is enabled,
+pause frames are generated when the receive packet buffer crosses a predefined
+threshold. When receive is enabled, the transmit unit will halt for the time
+delay specified when a pause frame is received.
+
+NOTE: You must have a flow control capable link partner.
+
+Flow Control is on by default.
+
+Use ethtool to change the flow control settings.
+
+To enable or disable Rx or Tx Flow Control::
+
+  ethtool -A eth? rx <on|off> tx <on|off>
+
+Note: This command only enables or disables Flow Control if auto-negotiation is
+disabled. If auto-negotiation is enabled, this command changes the parameters
+used for auto-negotiation with the link partner.
+
+To enable or disable auto-negotiation::
+
+  ethtool -s eth? autoneg <on|off>
+
+Note: Flow Control auto-negotiation is part of link auto-negotiation. Depending
+on your device, you may not be able to change the auto-negotiation setting.
+
+RSS Hash Flow
+-------------
+Allows you to set the hash bytes per flow type and any combination of one or
+more options for Receive Side Scaling (RSS) hash byte configuration.
+
+::
+
+  # ethtool -N <dev> rx-flow-hash <type> <option>
+
+Where <type> is:
+  tcp4	signifying TCP over IPv4
+  udp4	signifying UDP over IPv4
+  tcp6	signifying TCP over IPv6
+  udp6	signifying UDP over IPv6
+And <option> is one or more of:
+  s	Hash on the IP source address of the Rx packet.
+  d	Hash on the IP destination address of the Rx packet.
+  f	Hash on bytes 0 and 1 of the Layer 4 header of the Rx packet.
+  n	Hash on bytes 2 and 3 of the Layer 4 header of the Rx packet.
+
+MAC and VLAN anti-spoofing feature
+----------------------------------
+When a malicious driver attempts to send a spoofed packet, it is dropped by the
+hardware and not transmitted.
+NOTE: This feature can be disabled for a specific Virtual Function (VF)::
+
+  ip link set <pf dev> vf <vf id> spoofchk {off|on}
+
+IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Hardware Clock (PHC)
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is used to synchronize clocks in a computer
+network. PTP support varies among Intel devices that support this driver. Use
+"ethtool -T <netdev name>" to get a definitive list of PTP capabilities
+supported by the device.
+
+IEEE 802.1ad (QinQ) Support
+---------------------------
+The IEEE 802.1ad standard, informally known as QinQ, allows for multiple VLAN
+IDs within a single Ethernet frame. VLAN IDs are sometimes referred to as
+"tags," and multiple VLAN IDs are thus referred to as a "tag stack." Tag stacks
+allow L2 tunneling and the ability to segregate traffic within a particular
+VLAN ID, among other uses.
+
+The following are examples of how to configure 802.1ad (QinQ)::
+
+  ip link add link eth0 eth0.24 type vlan proto 802.1ad id 24
+  ip link add link eth0.24 eth0.24.371 type vlan proto 802.1Q id 371
+
+Where "24" and "371" are example VLAN IDs.
+
+NOTES:
+  Receive checksum offloads, cloud filters, and VLAN acceleration are not
+  supported for 802.1ad (QinQ) packets.
+
+VXLAN and GENEVE Overlay HW Offloading
+--------------------------------------
+Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) allows you to extend an L2 network over an L3
+network, which may be useful in a virtualized or cloud environment. Some
+Intel(R) Ethernet Network devices perform VXLAN processing, offloading it from
+the operating system. This reduces CPU utilization.
+
+VXLAN offloading is controlled by the Tx and Rx checksum offload options
+provided by ethtool. That is, if Tx checksum offload is enabled, and the
+adapter has the capability, VXLAN offloading is also enabled.
+
+Support for VXLAN and GENEVE HW offloading is dependent on kernel support of
+the HW offloading features.
+
+Multiple Functions per Port
+---------------------------
+Some adapters based on the Intel Ethernet Controller X710/XL710 support
+multiple functions on a single physical port. Configure these functions through
+the System Setup/BIOS.
+
+Minimum TX Bandwidth is the guaranteed minimum data transmission bandwidth, as
+a percentage of the full physical port link speed, that the partition will
+receive. The bandwidth the partition is awarded will never fall below the level
+you specify.
+
+The range for the minimum bandwidth values is:
+1 to ((100 minus # of partitions on the physical port) plus 1)
+For example, if a physical port has 4 partitions, the range would be:
+1 to ((100 - 4) + 1 = 97)
+
+The Maximum Bandwidth percentage represents the maximum transmit bandwidth
+allocated to the partition as a percentage of the full physical port link
+speed. The accepted range of values is 1-100. The value is used as a limiter,
+should you chose that any one particular function not be able to consume 100%
+of a port's bandwidth (should it be available). The sum of all the values for
+Maximum Bandwidth is not restricted, because no more than 100% of a port's
+bandwidth can ever be used.
+
+NOTE: X710/XXV710 devices fail to enable Max VFs (64) when Multiple Functions
+per Port (MFP) and SR-IOV are enabled. An error from i40e is logged that says
+"add vsi failed for VF N, aq_err 16". To workaround the issue, enable less than
+64 virtual functions (VFs).
+
+Data Center Bridging (DCB)
+--------------------------
+DCB is a configuration Quality of Service implementation in hardware. It uses
+the VLAN priority tag (802.1p) to filter traffic. That means that there are 8
+different priorities that traffic can be filtered into. It also enables
+priority flow control (802.1Qbb) which can limit or eliminate the number of
+dropped packets during network stress. Bandwidth can be allocated to each of
+these priorities, which is enforced at the hardware level (802.1Qaz).
+
+Adapter firmware implements LLDP and DCBX protocol agents as per 802.1AB and
+802.1Qaz respectively. The firmware based DCBX agent runs in willing mode only
+and can accept settings from a DCBX capable peer. Software configuration of
+DCBX parameters via dcbtool/lldptool are not supported.
+
+NOTE: Firmware LLDP can be disabled by setting the private flag disable-fw-lldp.
+
+The i40e driver implements the DCB netlink interface layer to allow user-space
+to communicate with the driver and query DCB configuration for the port.
+
+NOTE:
+The kernel assumes that TC0 is available, and will disable Priority Flow
+Control (PFC) on the device if TC0 is not available. To fix this, ensure TC0 is
+enabled when setting up DCB on your switch.
+
+Interrupt Rate Limiting
+-----------------------
+:Valid Range: 0-235 (0=no limit)
+
+The Intel(R) Ethernet Controller XL710 family supports an interrupt rate
+limiting mechanism. The user can control, via ethtool, the number of
+microseconds between interrupts.
+
+Syntax::
+
+  # ethtool -C ethX rx-usecs-high N
+
+The range of 0-235 microseconds provides an effective range of 4,310 to 250,000
+interrupts per second. The value of rx-usecs-high can be set independently of
+rx-usecs and tx-usecs in the same ethtool command, and is also independent of
+the adaptive interrupt moderation algorithm. The underlying hardware supports
+granularity in 4-microsecond intervals, so adjacent values may result in the
+same interrupt rate.
+
+One possible use case is the following::
+
+  # ethtool -C ethX adaptive-rx off adaptive-tx off rx-usecs-high 20 rx-usecs \
+    5 tx-usecs 5
+
+The above command would disable adaptive interrupt moderation, and allow a
+maximum of 5 microseconds before indicating a receive or transmit was complete.
+However, instead of resulting in as many as 200,000 interrupts per second, it
+limits total interrupts per second to 50,000 via the rx-usecs-high parameter.
+
+Performance Optimization
+========================
+Driver defaults are meant to fit a wide variety of workloads, but if further
+optimization is required we recommend experimenting with the following settings.
+
+NOTE: For better performance when processing small (64B) frame sizes, try
+enabling Hyper threading in the BIOS in order to increase the number of logical
+cores in the system and subsequently increase the number of queues available to
+the adapter.
+
+Virtualized Environments
+------------------------
+1. Disable XPS on both ends by using the included virt_perf_default script
+or by running the following command as root::
+
+  for file in `ls /sys/class/net/<ethX>/queues/tx-*/xps_cpus`;
+  do echo 0 > $file; done
+
+2. Using the appropriate mechanism (vcpupin) in the vm, pin the cpu's to
+individual lcpu's, making sure to use a set of cpu's included in the
+device's local_cpulist: /sys/class/net/<ethX>/device/local_cpulist.
+
+3. Configure as many Rx/Tx queues in the VM as available. Do not rely on
+the default setting of 1.
+
+
+Non-virtualized Environments
+----------------------------
+Pin the adapter's IRQs to specific cores by disabling the irqbalance service
+and using the included set_irq_affinity script. Please see the script's help
+text for further options.
+
+- The following settings will distribute the IRQs across all the cores evenly::
+
+  # scripts/set_irq_affinity -x all <interface1> , [ <interface2>, ... ]
+
+- The following settings will distribute the IRQs across all the cores that are
+  local to the adapter (same NUMA node)::
+
+  # scripts/set_irq_affinity -x local <interface1> ,[ <interface2>, ... ]
+
+For very CPU intensive workloads, we recommend pinning the IRQs to all cores.
+
+For IP Forwarding: Disable Adaptive ITR and lower Rx and Tx interrupts per
+queue using ethtool.
+
+- Setting rx-usecs and tx-usecs to 125 will limit interrupts to about 8000
+  interrupts per second per queue.
+
+::
+
+  # ethtool -C <interface> adaptive-rx off adaptive-tx off rx-usecs 125 \
+    tx-usecs 125
+
+For lower CPU utilization: Disable Adaptive ITR and lower Rx and Tx interrupts
+per queue using ethtool.
+
+- Setting rx-usecs and tx-usecs to 250 will limit interrupts to about 4000
+  interrupts per second per queue.
+
+::
+
+  # ethtool -C <interface> adaptive-rx off adaptive-tx off rx-usecs 250 \
+    tx-usecs 250
+
+For lower latency: Disable Adaptive ITR and ITR by setting Rx and Tx to 0 using
+ethtool.
+
+::
+
+  # ethtool -C <interface> adaptive-rx off adaptive-tx off rx-usecs 0 \
+    tx-usecs 0
+
+Application Device Queues (ADq)
+-------------------------------
+Application Device Queues (ADq) allows you to dedicate one or more queues to a
+specific application. This can reduce latency for the specified application,
+and allow Tx traffic to be rate limited per application. Follow the steps below
+to set ADq.
+
+1. Create traffic classes (TCs). Maximum of 8 TCs can be created per interface.
+The shaper bw_rlimit parameter is optional.
+
+Example: Sets up two tcs, tc0 and tc1, with 16 queues each and max tx rate set
+to 1Gbit for tc0 and 3Gbit for tc1.
+
+::
+
+  # tc qdisc add dev <interface> root mqprio num_tc 2 map 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1
+  queues 16@0 16@16 hw 1 mode channel shaper bw_rlimit min_rate 1Gbit 2Gbit
+  max_rate 1Gbit 3Gbit
+
+map: priority mapping for up to 16 priorities to tcs (e.g. map 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1
+sets priorities 0-3 to use tc0 and 4-7 to use tc1)
+
+queues: for each tc, <num queues>@<offset> (e.g. queues 16@0 16@16 assigns
+16 queues to tc0 at offset 0 and 16 queues to tc1 at offset 16. Max total
+number of queues for all tcs is 64 or number of cores, whichever is lower.)
+
+hw 1 mode channel: ‘channel’ with ‘hw’ set to 1 is a new new hardware
+offload mode in mqprio that makes full use of the mqprio options, the
+TCs, the queue configurations, and the QoS parameters.
+
+shaper bw_rlimit: for each tc, sets minimum and maximum bandwidth rates.
+Totals must be equal or less than port speed.
+
+For example: min_rate 1Gbit 3Gbit: Verify bandwidth limit using network
+monitoring tools such as ifstat or sar –n DEV [interval] [number of samples]
+
+2. Enable HW TC offload on interface::
+
+    # ethtool -K <interface> hw-tc-offload on
+
+3. Apply TCs to ingress (RX) flow of interface::
+
+    # tc qdisc add dev <interface> ingress
+
+NOTES:
+ - Run all tc commands from the iproute2 <pathtoiproute2>/tc/ directory.
+ - ADq is not compatible with cloud filters.
+ - Setting up channels via ethtool (ethtool -L) is not supported when the
+   TCs are configured using mqprio.
+ - You must have iproute2 latest version
+ - NVM version 6.01 or later is required.
+ - ADq cannot be enabled when any the following features are enabled: Data
+   Center Bridging (DCB), Multiple Functions per Port (MFP), or Sideband
+   Filters.
+ - If another driver (for example, DPDK) has set cloud filters, you cannot
+   enable ADq.
+ - Tunnel filters are not supported in ADq. If encapsulated packets do
+   arrive in non-tunnel mode, filtering will be done on the inner headers.
+   For example, for VXLAN traffic in non-tunnel mode, PCTYPE is identified
+   as a VXLAN encapsulated packet, outer headers are ignored. Therefore,
+   inner headers are matched.
+ - If a TC filter on a PF matches traffic over a VF (on the PF), that
+   traffic will be routed to the appropriate queue of the PF, and will
+   not be passed on the VF. Such traffic will end up getting dropped higher
+   up in the TCP/IP stack as it does not match PF address data.
+ - If traffic matches multiple TC filters that point to different TCs,
+   that traffic will be duplicated and sent to all matching TC queues.
+   The hardware switch mirrors the packet to a VSI list when multiple
+   filters are matched.
+
+
+Known Issues/Troubleshooting
+============================
+
+NOTE: 1 Gb devices based on the Intel(R) Ethernet Network Connection X722 do
+not support the following features:
+
+  * Data Center Bridging (DCB)
+  * QOS
+  * VMQ
+  * SR-IOV
+  * Task Encapsulation offload (VXLAN, NVGRE)
+  * Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)
+  * Auto-media detect
+
+Unexpected Issues when the device driver and DPDK share a device
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+Unexpected issues may result when an i40e device is in multi driver mode and
+the kernel driver and DPDK driver are sharing the device. This is because
+access to the global NIC resources is not synchronized between multiple
+drivers. Any change to the global NIC configuration (writing to a global
+register, setting global configuration by AQ, or changing switch modes) will
+affect all ports and drivers on the device. Loading DPDK with the
+"multi-driver" module parameter may mitigate some of the issues.
+
+TC0 must be enabled when setting up DCB on a switch
+---------------------------------------------------
+The kernel assumes that TC0 is available, and will disable Priority Flow
+Control (PFC) on the device if TC0 is not available. To fix this, ensure TC0 is
+enabled when setting up DCB on your switch.

-Identifying Your Adapter
-========================
-
-The driver in this release is compatible with the Intel Ethernet
-Controller XL710 Family.
-
-For more information on how to identify your adapter, go to the Adapter &
-Driver ID Guide at:
-
-    http://support.intel.com/support/network/sb/CS-012904.htm
-
-
-Enabling the driver
-===================
-
-The driver is enabled via the standard kernel configuration system,
-using the make command:
-
-     make config/oldconfig/menuconfig/etc.
-
-The driver is located in the menu structure at:
-
-	-> Device Drivers
-	  -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y])
-	    -> Ethernet driver support
-	      -> Intel devices
-	        -> Intel(R) Ethernet Controller XL710 Family
-
-Additional Configurations
-=========================
-
-  Generic Receive Offload (GRO)
-  -----------------------------
-  The driver supports the in-kernel software implementation of GRO.  GRO has
-  shown that by coalescing Rx traffic into larger chunks of data, CPU
-  utilization can be significantly reduced when under large Rx load.  GRO is
-  an evolution of the previously-used LRO interface.  GRO is able to coalesce
-  other protocols besides TCP.  It's also safe to use with configurations that
-  are problematic for LRO, namely bridging and iSCSI.
-
-  Ethtool
-  -------
-  The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
-  diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The latest
-  ethtool version is required for this functionality.
-
-  The latest release of ethtool can be found from
-  https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool
-
-
-  Flow Director n-ntuple traffic filters (FDir)
-  ---------------------------------------------
-  The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for configuring ntuple filters,
-  via "ethtool -N <device> <filter>".
-
-  The sctp4, ip4, udp4, and tcp4 flow types are supported with the standard
-  fields including src-ip, dst-ip, src-port and dst-port. The driver only
-  supports fully enabling or fully masking the fields, so use of the mask
-  fields for partial matches is not supported.
-
-  Additionally, the driver supports using the action to specify filters for a
-  Virtual Function. You can specify the action as a 64bit value, where the
-  lower 32 bits represents the queue number, while the next 8 bits represent
-  which VF. Note that 0 is the PF, so the VF identifier is offset by 1. For
-  example:
-
-    ... action 0x800000002 ...
-
-  Would indicate to direct traffic for Virtual Function 7 (8 minus 1) on queue
-  2 of that VF.
-
-  The driver also supports using the user-defined field to specify 2 bytes of
-  arbitrary data to match within the packet payload in addition to the regular
-  fields. The data is specified in the lower 32bits of the user-def field in
-  the following way:
-
-  +----------------------------+---------------------------+
-  | 31    28    24    20    16 | 15    12     8     4     0|
-  +----------------------------+---------------------------+
-  | offset into packet payload |  2 bytes of flexible data |
-  +----------------------------+---------------------------+
-
-  As an example,
-
-    ... user-def 0x4FFFF ....
-
-  means to match the value 0xFFFF 4 bytes into the packet payload. Note that
-  the offset is based on the beginning of the payload, and not the beginning
-  of the packet. Thus
-
-    flow-type tcp4 ... user-def 0x8BEAF ....
-
-  would match TCP/IPv4 packets which have the value 0xBEAF 8bytes into the
-  TCP/IPv4 payload.
-
-  For ICMP, the hardware parses the ICMP header as 4 bytes of header and 4
-  bytes of payload, so if you want to match an ICMP frames payload you may need
-  to add 4 to the offset in order to match the data.
-
-  Furthermore, the offset can only be up to a value of 64, as the hardware
-  will only read up to 64 bytes of data from the payload. It must also be even
-  as the flexible data is 2 bytes long and must be aligned to byte 0 of the
-  packet payload.
-
-  When programming filters, the hardware is limited to using a single input
-  set for each flow type. This means that it is an error to program two
-  different filters with the same type that don't match on the same fields.
-  Thus the second of the following two commands will fail:
-
-    ethtool -N <device> flow-type tcp4 src-ip 192.168.0.7 action 5
-    ethtool -N <device> flow-type tcp4 dst-ip 192.168.15.18 action 1
-
-  This is because the first filter will be accepted and reprogram the input
-  set for TCPv4 filters, but the second filter will be unable to reprogram the
-  input set until all the conflicting TCPv4 filters are first removed.
-
-  Note that the user-defined flexible offset is also considered part of the
-  input set and cannot be programmed separately for multiple filters of the
-  same type. However, the flexible data is not part of the input set and
-  multiple filters may use the same offset but match against different data.
-
-  Data Center Bridging (DCB)
-  --------------------------
-  DCB configuration is not currently supported.
-
-  FCoE
-  ----
-  The driver supports Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Data Center
-  Bridging (DCB) functionality. Configuring DCB and FCoE is outside the scope
-  of this driver doc. Refer to http://www.open-fcoe.org/ for FCoE project
-  information and http://www.open-lldp.org/ or email list
-  e1000-eedc@lists.sourceforge.net for DCB information.
-
-  MAC and VLAN anti-spoofing feature
-  ----------------------------------
-  When a malicious driver attempts to send a spoofed packet, it is dropped by
-  the hardware and not transmitted.  An interrupt is sent to the PF driver
-  notifying it of the spoof attempt.
-
-  When a spoofed packet is detected the PF driver will send the following
-  message to the system log (displayed by  the "dmesg" command):
-
-  Spoof event(s) detected on VF (n)
-
-  Where n=the VF that attempted to do the spoofing.
-

+--------------------------
+If you have applications that require Virtual Functions (VFs) to receive
+packets with VLAN tags, you can disable VLAN tag stripping for the VF. The
+Physical Function (PF) processes requests issued from the VF to enable or
+disable VLAN tag stripping. Note that if the PF has assigned a VLAN to a VF,
+then requests from that VF to set VLAN tag stripping will be ignored.
+
+To enable/disable VLAN tag stripping for a VF, issue the following command
+from inside the VM in which you are running the VF::
+
+  ethtool -K <if_name> rxvlan on/off
+
+or alternatively::
+
+  ethtool --offload <if_name> rxvlan on/off
+
+Adaptive Virtual Function
+-------------------------
+Adaptive Virtual Function (AVF) allows the virtual function driver, or VF, to
+adapt to changing feature sets of the physical function driver (PF) with which
+it is associated. This allows system administrators to update a PF without
+having to update all the VFs associated with it. All AVFs have a single common
+device ID and branding string.
+
+AVFs have a minimum set of features known as "base mode," but may provide
+additional features depending on what features are available in the PF with
+which the AVF is associated. The following are base mode features:
+
+- 4 Queue Pairs (QP) and associated Configuration Status Registers (CSRs)
+  for Tx/Rx.
+- i40e descriptors and ring format.
+- Descriptor write-back completion.
+- 1 control queue, with i40e descriptors, CSRs and ring format.
+- 5 MSI-X interrupt vectors and corresponding i40e CSRs.
+- 1 Interrupt Throttle Rate (ITR) index.
+- 1 Virtual Station Interface (VSI) per VF.
+- 1 Traffic Class (TC), TC0
+- Receive Side Scaling (RSS) with 64 entry indirection table and key,
+  configured through the PF.
+- 1 unicast MAC address reserved per VF.
+- 16 MAC address filters for each VF.
+- Stateless offloads - non-tunneled checksums.
+- AVF device ID.
+- HW mailbox is used for VF to PF communications (including on Windows).
+
+IEEE 802.1ad (QinQ) Support
+---------------------------
+The IEEE 802.1ad standard, informally known as QinQ, allows for multiple VLAN
+IDs within a single Ethernet frame. VLAN IDs are sometimes referred to as
+"tags," and multiple VLAN IDs are thus referred to as a "tag stack." Tag stacks
+allow L2 tunneling and the ability to segregate traffic within a particular
+VLAN ID, among other uses.
+
+The following are examples of how to configure 802.1ad (QinQ)::
+
+  ip link add link eth0 eth0.24 type vlan proto 802.1ad id 24
+  ip link add link eth0.24 eth0.24.371 type vlan proto 802.1Q id 371
+
+Where "24" and "371" are example VLAN IDs.
+
+NOTES:
+  Receive checksum offloads, cloud filters, and VLAN acceleration are not
+  supported for 802.1ad (QinQ) packets.
+
+Application Device Queues (ADq)
+-------------------------------
+Application Device Queues (ADq) allows you to dedicate one or more queues to a
+specific application. This can reduce latency for the specified application,
+and allow Tx traffic to be rate limited per application. Follow the steps below
+to set ADq.
+
+1. Create traffic classes (TCs). Maximum of 8 TCs can be created per interface.
+The shaper bw_rlimit parameter is optional.
+
+Example: Sets up two tcs, tc0 and tc1, with 16 queues each and max tx rate set
+to 1Gbit for tc0 and 3Gbit for tc1.
+
+::
+
+  # tc qdisc add dev <interface> root mqprio num_tc 2 map 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1
+  queues 16@0 16@16 hw 1 mode channel shaper bw_rlimit min_rate 1Gbit 2Gbit
+  max_rate 1Gbit 3Gbit
+
+map: priority mapping for up to 16 priorities to tcs (e.g. map 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1
+sets priorities 0-3 to use tc0 and 4-7 to use tc1)
+
+queues: for each tc, <num queues>@<offset> (e.g. queues 16@0 16@16 assigns
+16 queues to tc0 at offset 0 and 16 queues to tc1 at offset 16. Max total
+number of queues for all tcs is 64 or number of cores, whichever is lower.)
+
+hw 1 mode channel: ‘channel’ with ‘hw’ set to 1 is a new new hardware
+offload mode in mqprio that makes full use of the mqprio options, the
+TCs, the queue configurations, and the QoS parameters.
+
+shaper bw_rlimit: for each tc, sets minimum and maximum bandwidth rates.
+Totals must be equal or less than port speed.
+
+For example: min_rate 1Gbit 3Gbit: Verify bandwidth limit using network
+monitoring tools such as ifstat or sar –n DEV [interval] [number of samples]
+
+2. Enable HW TC offload on interface::
+
+    # ethtool -K <interface> hw-tc-offload on
+
+3. Apply TCs to ingress (RX) flow of interface::
+
+    # tc qdisc add dev <interface> ingress
+
+NOTES:
+ - Run all tc commands from the iproute2 <pathtoiproute2>/tc/ directory.
+ - ADq is not compatible with cloud filters.
+ - Setting up channels via ethtool (ethtool -L) is not supported when the TCs
+   are configured using mqprio.
+ - You must have iproute2 latest version
+ - NVM version 6.01 or later is required.
+ - ADq cannot be enabled when any the following features are enabled: Data
+   Center Bridging (DCB), Multiple Functions per Port (MFP), or Sideband Filters.
+ - If another driver (for example, DPDK) has set cloud filters, you cannot
+   enable ADq.
+ - Tunnel filters are not supported in ADq. If encapsulated packets do arrive
+   in non-tunnel mode, filtering will be done on the inner headers.  For example,
+   for VXLAN traffic in non-tunnel mode, PCTYPE is identified as a VXLAN
+   encapsulated packet, outer headers are ignored. Therefore, inner headers are
+   matched.
+ - If a TC filter on a PF matches traffic over a VF (on the PF), that traffic
+   will be routed to the appropriate queue of the PF, and will not be passed on
+   the VF. Such traffic will end up getting dropped higher up in the TCP/IP
+   stack as it does not match PF address data.
+ - If traffic matches multiple TC filters that point to different TCs, that
+   traffic will be duplicated and sent to all matching TC queues.  The hardware
+   switch mirrors the packet to a VSI list when multiple filters are matched.
+
+
+Known Issues/Troubleshooting
+============================
+
+Traffic Is Not Being Passed Between VM and Client
+-------------------------------------------------
+You may not be able to pass traffic between a client system and a
+Virtual Machine (VM) running on a separate host if the Virtual Function
+(VF, or Virtual NIC) is not in trusted mode and spoof checking is enabled
+on the VF. Note that this situation can occur in any combination of client,
+host, and guest operating system. For information on how to set the VF to
+trusted mode, refer to the section "VLAN Tag Packet Steering" in this
+readme document. For information on setting spoof checking, refer to the
+section "MAC and VLAN anti-spoofing feature" in this readme document.
+
+Do not unload port driver if VF with active VM is bound to it
+-------------------------------------------------------------
+Do not unload a port's driver if a Virtual Function (VF) with an active Virtual
+Machine (VM) is bound to it. Doing so will cause the port to appear to hang.
+Once the VM shuts down, or otherwise releases the VF, the command will complete.
+
+Virtual machine does not get link
+---------------------------------
+If the virtual machine has more than one virtual port assigned to it, and those
+virtual ports are bound to different physical ports, you may not get link on
+all of the virtual ports. The following command may work around the issue::
+
+  ethtool -r <PF>
+
+Where <PF> is the PF interface in the host, for example: p5p1. You may need to
+run the command more than once to get link on all virtual ports.
+
+MAC address of Virtual Function changes unexpectedly
+----------------------------------------------------
+If a Virtual Function's MAC address is not assigned in the host, then the VF
+(virtual function) driver will use a random MAC address. This random MAC
+address may change each time the VF driver is reloaded. You can assign a static
+MAC address in the host machine. This static MAC address will survive
+a VF driver reload.
+
+Driver Buffer Overflow Fix
+--------------------------
+The fix to resolve CVE-2016-8105, referenced in Intel SA-00069
+https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-00069.html
+is included in this and future versions of the driver.
+
+Multiple Interfaces on Same Ethernet Broadcast Network
+------------------------------------------------------
+Due to the default ARP behavior on Linux, it is not possible to have one system
+on two IP networks in the same Ethernet broadcast domain (non-partitioned
+switch) behave as expected. All Ethernet interfaces will respond to IP traffic
+for any IP address assigned to the system. This results in unbalanced receive
+traffic.
+
+If you have multiple interfaces in a server, either turn on ARP filtering by
+entering::
+
+  echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/arp_filter
+
+NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots. The configuration change can be
+made permanent by adding the following line to the file /etc/sysctl.conf::
+
+  net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_filter = 1
+
+Another alternative is to install the interfaces in separate broadcast domains
+(either in different switches or in a switch partitioned to VLANs).
+
+Rx Page Allocation Errors
+-------------------------
+'Page allocation failure. order:0' errors may occur under stress.
+This is caused by the way the Linux kernel reports this stressed condition.

+Identifying Your Adapter
+========================
+For information on how to identify your adapter, and for the latest Intel
+network drivers, refer to the Intel Support website:
+http://www.intel.com/support
+
+
+Command Line Parameters
+========================
+If the driver is built as a module, the following optional parameters are used
+by entering them on the command line with the modprobe command using this
+syntax::
+
+    modprobe igb [<option>=<VAL1>,<VAL2>,...]
+
+There needs to be a <VAL#> for each network port in the system supported by
+this driver. The values will be applied to each instance, in function order.
+For example::
+
+    modprobe igb max_vfs=2,4
+
+In this case, there are two network ports supported by igb in the system.
+
+NOTE: A descriptor describes a data buffer and attributes related to the data
+buffer. This information is accessed by the hardware.
+
+max_vfs
+-------
+:Valid Range: 0-7
+
+This parameter adds support for SR-IOV. It causes the driver to spawn up to
+max_vfs worth of virtual functions.  If the value is greater than 0 it will
+also force the VMDq parameter to be 1 or more.
+
+The parameters for the driver are referenced by position. Thus, if you have a
+dual port adapter, or more than one adapter in your system, and want N virtual
+functions per port, you must specify a number for each port with each parameter
+separated by a comma. For example::
+
+    modprobe igb max_vfs=4
+
+This will spawn 4 VFs on the first port.
+
+::
+
+    modprobe igb max_vfs=2,4
+
+This will spawn 2 VFs on the first port and 4 VFs on the second port.
+
+NOTE: Caution must be used in loading the driver with these parameters.
+Depending on your system configuration, number of slots, etc., it is impossible
+to predict in all cases where the positions would be on the command line.
+
+NOTE: Neither the device nor the driver control how VFs are mapped into config
+space. Bus layout will vary by operating system. On operating systems that
+support it, you can check sysfs to find the mapping.
+
+NOTE: When either SR-IOV mode or VMDq mode is enabled, hardware VLAN filtering
+and VLAN tag stripping/insertion will remain enabled. Please remove the old
+VLAN filter before the new VLAN filter is added. For example::
+
+    ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 100	// set vlan 100 for VF 0
+    ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 0	// Delete vlan 100
+    ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 200	// set a new vlan 200 for VF 0
+
+Debug
+-----
+:Valid Range: 0-16 (0=none,...,16=all)
+:Default Value: 0
+
+This parameter adjusts the level debug messages displayed in the system logs.
+
+
+Additional Features and Configurations
+======================================
+
+Jumbo Frames
+------------
+Jumbo Frames support is enabled by changing the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)
+to a value larger than the default value of 1500.
+
+Use the ifconfig command to increase the MTU size. For example, enter the
+following where <x> is the interface number::
+
+    ifconfig eth<x> mtu 9000 up
+
+Alternatively, you can use the ip command as follows::
+
+    ip link set mtu 9000 dev eth<x>
+    ip link set up dev eth<x>
+
+This setting is not saved across reboots. The setting change can be made
+permanent by adding 'MTU=9000' to the file:
+
+- For RHEL: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth<x>
+- For SLES: /etc/sysconfig/network/<config_file>
+
+NOTE: The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 9216. This value coincides
+with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 9234 bytes.
+
+NOTE: Using Jumbo frames at 10 or 100 Mbps is not supported and may result in
+poor performance or loss of link.
+
+
+ethtool
+-------
+The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
+diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The latest ethtool
+version is required for this functionality. Download it at:
+
+https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/
+
+
+Enabling Wake on LAN* (WoL)
+---------------------------
+WoL is configured through the ethtool* utility.
+
+WoL will be enabled on the system during the next shut down or reboot. For
+this driver version, in order to enable WoL, the igb driver must be loaded
+prior to shutting down or suspending the system.
+
+NOTE: Wake on LAN is only supported on port A of multi-port devices.  Also
+Wake On LAN is not supported for the following device:
+- Intel(R) Gigabit VT Quad Port Server Adapter
+
+
+Multiqueue
+----------
+In this mode, a separate MSI-X vector is allocated for each queue and one for
+"other" interrupts such as link status change and errors. All interrupts are
+throttled via interrupt moderation. Interrupt moderation must be used to avoid
+interrupt storms while the driver is processing one interrupt. The moderation
+value should be at least as large as the expected time for the driver to
+process an interrupt. Multiqueue is off by default.
+
+REQUIREMENTS: MSI-X support is required for Multiqueue. If MSI-X is not found,
+the system will fallback to MSI or to Legacy interrupts. This driver supports
+receive multiqueue on all kernels that support MSI-X.
+
+NOTE: On some kernels a reboot is required to switch between single queue mode
+and multiqueue mode or vice-versa.
+
+
+MAC and VLAN anti-spoofing feature
+----------------------------------
+When a malicious driver attempts to send a spoofed packet, it is dropped by the
+hardware and not transmitted.
+
+An interrupt is sent to the PF driver notifying it of the spoof attempt. When a
+spoofed packet is detected, the PF driver will send the following message to
+the system log (displayed by the "dmesg" command):
+Spoof event(s) detected on VF(n), where n = the VF that attempted to do the
+spoofing
+
+
+Setting MAC Address, VLAN and Rate Limit Using IProute2 Tool
+------------------------------------------------------------
+You can set a MAC address of a Virtual Function (VF), a default VLAN and the
+rate limit using the IProute2 tool. Download the latest version of the
+IProute2 tool from Sourceforge if your version does not have all the features
+you require.

-
-Identifying Your Adapter
-========================
-
-This driver supports all 82575, 82576 and 82580-based Intel (R) gigabit network
-connections.
-
-For specific information on how to identify your adapter, go to the Adapter &
-Driver ID Guide at:
-
-    http://support.intel.com/support/go/network/adapter/idguide.htm
-
-Command Line Parameters
-=======================
-
-The default value for each parameter is generally the recommended setting,
-unless otherwise noted.
-
-max_vfs
--------
-Valid Range:   0-7
-Default Value: 0
-
-This parameter adds support for SR-IOV.  It causes the driver to spawn up to
-max_vfs worth of virtual function.
-
-Additional Configurations
-=========================
-
-  Jumbo Frames
-  ------------
-  Jumbo Frames support is enabled by changing the MTU to a value larger than
-  the default of 1500.  Use the ip command to increase the MTU size.
-  For example:
-
-       ip link set dev eth<x> mtu 9000
-
-  This setting is not saved across reboots.
-
-  Notes:
-
-  - The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 9216.  This value coincides
-    with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 9234 bytes.
-
-  - Using Jumbo frames at 10 or 100 Mbps is not supported and may result in
-    poor performance or loss of link.
-
-  ethtool
-  -------
-  The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
-  diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The latest
-  version of ethtool can be found at:
-
-  https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/
-
-  Enabling Wake on LAN* (WoL)
-  ---------------------------
-  WoL is configured through the ethtool* utility.
-
-  For instructions on enabling WoL with ethtool, refer to the ethtool man page.
-
-  WoL will be enabled on the system during the next shut down or reboot.
-  For this driver version, in order to enable WoL, the igb driver must be
-  loaded when shutting down or rebooting the system.
-
-  Wake On LAN is only supported on port A of multi-port adapters.
-
-  Wake On LAN is not supported for the Intel(R) Gigabit VT Quad Port Server
-  Adapter.
-
-  Multiqueue
-  ----------
-  In this mode, a separate MSI-X vector is allocated for each queue and one
-  for "other" interrupts such as link status change and errors.  All
-  interrupts are throttled via interrupt moderation.  Interrupt moderation
-  must be used to avoid interrupt storms while the driver is processing one
-  interrupt.  The moderation value should be at least as large as the expected
-  time for the driver to process an interrupt. Multiqueue is off by default.
-
-  REQUIREMENTS: MSI-X support is required for Multiqueue. If MSI-X is not
-  found, the system will fallback to MSI or to Legacy interrupts.
-
-  MAC and VLAN anti-spoofing feature
-  ----------------------------------
-  When a malicious driver attempts to send a spoofed packet, it is dropped by
-  the hardware and not transmitted.  An interrupt is sent to the PF driver
-  notifying it of the spoof attempt.
-
-  When a spoofed packet is detected the PF driver will send the following
-  message to the system log (displayed by  the "dmesg" command):

++------------+------------------------------+----------------------------------+
+
+For more information on how to identify your adapter, go to the Adapter &
+Driver ID Guide at:
+
+    https://support.intel.com
+
+
+Command Line Parameters
+=======================
+
+If the driver is built as a module, the  following optional parameters are
+used by entering them on the command line with the modprobe command using
+this syntax::
+
+    modprobe ixgb [<option>=<VAL1>,<VAL2>,...]
+
+For example, with two 10GbE PCI adapters, entering::
+
+    modprobe ixgb TxDescriptors=80,128
+
+loads the ixgb driver with 80 TX resources for the first adapter and 128 TX
+resources for the second adapter.
+
+The default value for each parameter is generally the recommended setting,
+unless otherwise noted.
+
+Copybreak
+---------
+:Valid Range: 0-XXXX
+:Default Value: 256
+
+    This is the maximum size of packet that is copied to a new buffer on
+    receive.
+
+Debug
+-----
+:Valid Range: 0-16 (0=none,...,16=all)
+:Default Value: 0
+
+    This parameter adjusts the level of debug messages displayed in the
+    system logs.
+
+FlowControl
+-----------
+:Valid Range: 0-3 (0=none, 1=Rx only, 2=Tx only, 3=Rx&Tx)
+:Default Value: 1 if no EEPROM, otherwise read from EEPROM
+
+    This parameter controls the automatic generation(Tx) and response(Rx) to
+    Ethernet PAUSE frames.  There are hardware bugs associated with enabling
+    Tx flow control so beware.
+
+RxDescriptors
+-------------
+:Valid Range: 64-4096
+:Default Value: 1024
+
+    This value is the number of receive descriptors allocated by the driver.
+    Increasing this value allows the driver to buffer more incoming packets.
+    Each descriptor is 16 bytes.  A receive buffer is also allocated for
+    each descriptor and can be either 2048, 4056, 8192, or 16384 bytes,
+    depending on the MTU setting.  When the MTU size is 1500 or less, the
+    receive buffer size is 2048 bytes. When the MTU is greater than 1500 the
+    receive buffer size will be either 4056, 8192, or 16384 bytes.  The
+    maximum MTU size is 16114.
+
+TxDescriptors
+-------------
+:Valid Range: 64-4096
+:Default Value: 256
+
+    This value is the number of transmit descriptors allocated by the driver.
+    Increasing this value allows the driver to queue more transmits.  Each
+    descriptor is 16 bytes.
+
+RxIntDelay
+----------
+:Valid Range: 0-65535 (0=off)
+:Default Value: 72
+
+    This value delays the generation of receive interrupts in units of
+    0.8192 microseconds.  Receive interrupt reduction can improve CPU
+    efficiency if properly tuned for specific network traffic.  Increasing
+    this value adds extra latency to frame reception and can end up
+    decreasing the throughput of TCP traffic.  If the system is reporting
+    dropped receives, this value may be set too high, causing the driver to
+    run out of available receive descriptors.
+
+TxIntDelay
+----------
+:Valid Range: 0-65535 (0=off)
+:Default Value: 32
+
+    This value delays the generation of transmit interrupts in units of
+    0.8192 microseconds.  Transmit interrupt reduction can improve CPU
+    efficiency if properly tuned for specific network traffic.  Increasing
+    this value adds extra latency to frame transmission and can end up
+    decreasing the throughput of TCP traffic.  If this value is set too high,
+    it will cause the driver to run out of available transmit descriptors.
+
+XsumRX
+------
+:Valid Range: 0-1
+:Default Value: 1
+
+    A value of '1' indicates that the driver should enable IP checksum
+    offload for received packets (both UDP and TCP) to the adapter hardware.
+
+RxFCHighThresh
+--------------
+:Valid Range: 1,536-262,136 (0x600 - 0x3FFF8, 8 byte granularity)
+:Default Value: 196,608 (0x30000)
+
+    Receive Flow control high threshold (when we send a pause frame)
+
+RxFCLowThresh
+-------------
+:Valid Range: 64-262,136 (0x40 - 0x3FFF8, 8 byte granularity)
+:Default Value: 163,840 (0x28000)
+
+    Receive Flow control low threshold (when we send a resume frame)
+
+FCReqTimeout
+------------
+:Valid Range: 1-65535
+:Default Value: 65535
+
+    Flow control request timeout (how long to pause the link partner's tx)
+
+IntDelayEnable
+--------------
+:Value Range: 0,1
+:Default Value: 1
+
+    Interrupt Delay, 0 disables transmit interrupt delay and 1 enables it.
+
+
+Improving Performance
+=====================
+
+With the 10 Gigabit server adapters, the default Linux configuration will
+very likely limit the total available throughput artificially.  There is a set
+of configuration changes that, when applied together, will increase the ability
+of Linux to transmit and receive data.  The following enhancements were
+originally acquired from settings published at http://www.spec.org/web99/ for
+various submitted results using Linux.
+
+NOTE:
+  These changes are only suggestions, and serve as a starting point for
+  tuning your network performance.
+
+The changes are made in three major ways, listed in order of greatest effect:
+
+- Use ip link to modify the mtu (maximum transmission unit) and the txqueuelen
+  parameter.
+- Use sysctl to modify /proc parameters (essentially kernel tuning)
+- Use setpci to modify the MMRBC field in PCI-X configuration space to increase
+  transmit burst lengths on the bus.
+
+NOTE:
+  setpci modifies the adapter's configuration registers to allow it to read
+  up to 4k bytes at a time (for transmits).  However, for some systems the
+  behavior after modifying this register may be undefined (possibly errors of
+  some kind).  A power-cycle, hard reset or explicitly setting the e6 register
+  back to 22 (setpci -d 8086:1a48 e6.b=22) may be required to get back to a
+  stable configuration.
+
+- COPY these lines and paste them into ixgb_perf.sh:
+
+::
+
+  #!/bin/bash
+  echo "configuring network performance , edit this file to change the interface
+  or device ID of 10GbE card"
+  # set mmrbc to 4k reads, modify only Intel 10GbE device IDs
+  # replace 1a48 with appropriate 10GbE device's ID installed on the system,
+  # if needed.
+  setpci -d 8086:1a48 e6.b=2e
+  # set the MTU (max transmission unit) - it requires your switch and clients
+  # to change as well.
+  # set the txqueuelen
+  # your ixgb adapter should be loaded as eth1 for this to work, change if needed
+  ip li set dev eth1 mtu 9000 txqueuelen 1000 up
+  # call the sysctl utility to modify /proc/sys entries
+  sysctl -p ./sysctl_ixgb.conf
+
+- COPY these lines and paste them into sysctl_ixgb.conf:
+
+::
+
+  # some of the defaults may be different for your kernel
+  # call this file with sysctl -p <this file>
+  # these are just suggested values that worked well to increase throughput in
+  # several network benchmark tests, your mileage may vary
+
+  ### IPV4 specific settings
+  # turn TCP timestamp support off, default 1, reduces CPU use
+  net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 0
+  # turn SACK support off, default on
+  # on systems with a VERY fast bus -> memory interface this is the big gainer
+  net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 0
+  # set min/default/max TCP read buffer, default 4096 87380 174760
+  net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 10000000 10000000 10000000
+  # set min/pressure/max TCP write buffer, default 4096 16384 131072
+  net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 10000000 10000000 10000000
+  # set min/pressure/max TCP buffer space, default 31744 32256 32768
+  net.ipv4.tcp_mem = 10000000 10000000 10000000
+
+  ### CORE settings (mostly for socket and UDP effect)
+  # set maximum receive socket buffer size, default 131071
+  net.core.rmem_max = 524287
+  # set maximum send socket buffer size, default 131071
+  net.core.wmem_max = 524287
+  # set default receive socket buffer size, default 65535
+  net.core.rmem_default = 524287
+  # set default send socket buffer size, default 65535
+  net.core.wmem_default = 524287
+  # set maximum amount of option memory buffers, default 10240
+  net.core.optmem_max = 524287
+  # set number of unprocessed input packets before kernel starts dropping them; default 300
+  net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 300000
+
+Edit the ixgb_perf.sh script if necessary to change eth1 to whatever interface
+your ixgb driver is using and/or replace '1a48' with appropriate 10GbE device's
+ID installed on the system.
+
+NOTE:
+  Unless these scripts are added to the boot process, these changes will
+  only last only until the next system reboot.
+
+
+Resolving Slow UDP Traffic
+--------------------------
+If your server does not seem to be able to receive UDP traffic as fast as it
+can receive TCP traffic, it could be because Linux, by default, does not set
+the network stack buffers as large as they need to be to support high UDP
+transfer rates.  One way to alleviate this problem is to allow more memory to
+be used by the IP stack to store incoming data.
+
+For instance, use the commands::
+
+    sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=262143
+
+and::
+
+    sysctl -w net.core.rmem_default=262143
+
+to increase the read buffer memory max and default to 262143 (256k - 1) from
+defaults of max=131071 (128k - 1) and default=65535 (64k - 1).  These variables
+will increase the amount of memory used by the network stack for receives, and
+can be increased significantly more if necessary for your application.
+
+
+Additional Configurations
+=========================
+
+Configuring the Driver on Different Distributions
+-------------------------------------------------
+Configuring a network driver to load properly when the system is started is
+distribution dependent. Typically, the configuration process involves adding
+an alias line to /etc/modprobe.conf as well as editing other system startup
+scripts and/or configuration files.  Many popular Linux distributions ship
+with tools to make these changes for you.  To learn the proper way to
+configure a network device for your system, refer to your distribution
+documentation.  If during this process you are asked for the driver or module
+name, the name for the Linux Base Driver for the Intel 10GbE Family of
+Adapters is ixgb.
+
+Viewing Link Messages
+---------------------
+Link messages will not be displayed to the console if the distribution is
+restricting system messages. In order to see network driver link messages on
+your console, set dmesg to eight by entering the following::
+
+    dmesg -n 8
+
+NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots.
+
+Jumbo Frames
+------------
+The driver supports Jumbo Frames for all adapters. Jumbo Frames support is
+enabled by changing the MTU to a value larger than the default of 1500.
+The maximum value for the MTU is 16114.  Use the ip command to
+increase the MTU size.  For example::
+
+    ip li set dev ethx mtu 9000
+
+The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 16114.  This value coincides
+with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 16128.
+
+Ethtool
+-------
+The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
+diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information.  The ethtool
+version 1.6 or later is required for this functionality.
+
+The latest release of ethtool can be found from
+https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/
+
+NOTE:
+  The ethtool version 1.6 only supports a limited set of ethtool options.
+  Support for a more complete ethtool feature set can be enabled by
+  upgrading to the latest version.
+
+NAPI
+----
+NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the ixgb driver.
+
+See https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/networking/napi for more information on
+NAPI.
+
+
+Known Issues/Troubleshooting
+============================
+
+NOTE:
+  After installing the driver, if your Intel Network Connection is not
+  working, verify in the "In This Release" section of the readme that you have
+  installed the correct driver.
+
+Cable Interoperability Issue with Fujitsu XENPAK Module in SmartBits Chassis
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Excessive CRC errors may be observed if the Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4
+Server adapter is connected to a Fujitsu XENPAK CX4 module in a SmartBits
+chassis using 15 m/24AWG cable assemblies manufactured by Fujitsu or Leoni.
+The CRC errors may be received either by the Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4
+Server adapter or the SmartBits. If this situation occurs using a different
+cable assembly may resolve the issue.
+
+Cable Interoperability Issues with HP Procurve 3400cl Switch Port
+-----------------------------------------------------------------
+Excessive CRC errors may be observed if the Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4 Server
+adapter is connected to an HP Procurve 3400cl switch port using short cables
+(1 m or shorter). If this situation occurs, using a longer cable may resolve
+the issue.
+
+Excessive CRC errors may be observed using Fujitsu 24AWG cable assemblies that
+Are 10 m or longer or where using a Leoni 15 m/24AWG cable assembly. The CRC
+errors may be received either by the CX4 Server adapter or at the switch. If
+this situation occurs, using a different cable assembly may resolve the issue.
+
+Jumbo Frames System Requirement
+-------------------------------
+Memory allocation failures have been observed on Linux systems with 64 MB
+of RAM or less that are running Jumbo Frames.  If you are using Jumbo
+Frames, your system may require more than the advertised minimum
+requirement of 64 MB of system memory.
+
+Performance Degradation with Jumbo Frames
+-----------------------------------------
+Degradation in throughput performance may be observed in some Jumbo frames
+environments.  If this is observed, increasing the application's socket buffer
+size and/or increasing the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_*mem entry values may help.
+See the specific application manual and /usr/src/linux*/Documentation/
+networking/ip-sysctl.txt for more details.
+
+Allocating Rx Buffers when Using Jumbo Frames
+---------------------------------------------
+Allocating Rx buffers when using Jumbo Frames on 2.6.x kernels may fail if
+the available memory is heavily fragmented. This issue may be seen with PCI-X
+adapters or with packet split disabled. This can be reduced or eliminated
+by changing the amount of available memory for receive buffer allocation, by
+increasing /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes.
+
+Multiple Interfaces on Same Ethernet Broadcast Network
+------------------------------------------------------
+Due to the default ARP behavior on Linux, it is not possible to have
+one system on two IP networks in the same Ethernet broadcast domain
+(non-partitioned switch) behave as expected.  All Ethernet interfaces
+will respond to IP traffic for any IP address assigned to the system.
+This results in unbalanced receive traffic.
+
+If you have multiple interfaces in a server, do either of the following:
+
+  - Turn on ARP filtering by entering::
+
+      echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/arp_filter
+
+  - Install the interfaces in separate broadcast domains - either in
+    different switches or in a switch partitioned to VLANs.
+
+UDP Stress Test Dropped Packet Issue
+--------------------------------------
+Under small packets UDP stress test with 10GbE driver, the Linux system
+may drop UDP packets due to the fullness of socket buffers. You may want
+to change the driver's Flow Control variables to the minimum value for
+controlling packet reception.
+
+Tx Hangs Possible Under Stress
+------------------------------
+Under stress conditions, if TX hangs occur, turning off TSO
+"ethtool -K eth0 tso off" may resolve the problem.

-Identifying Your Adapter
-========================
-
-The following Intel network adapters are compatible with the drivers in this
-release:
-
-Controller  Adapter Name                 Physical Layer
-----------  ------------                 --------------
-82597EX     Intel(R) PRO/10GbE LR/SR/CX4 10G Base-LR (1310 nm optical fiber)
-            Server Adapters              10G Base-SR (850 nm optical fiber)
-                                         10G Base-CX4(twin-axial copper cabling)
-

-
-
-Building and Installation
-=========================
-
-select m for "Intel(R) PRO/10GbE support" located at:
-      Location:
-        -> Device Drivers
-          -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y])
-            -> Ethernet (10000 Mbit) (NETDEV_10000 [=y])
-1. make modules && make modules_install
-
-2. Load the module:
-
-    modprobe ixgb <parameter>=<value>
-
-   The insmod command can be used if the full
-   path to the driver module is specified.  For example:
-
-     insmod /lib/modules/<KERNEL VERSION>/kernel/drivers/net/ixgb/ixgb.ko
-
-   With 2.6 based kernels also make sure that older ixgb drivers are
-   removed from the kernel, before loading the new module:
-
-     rmmod ixgb; modprobe ixgb
-
-3. Assign an IP address to the interface by entering the following, where
-   x is the interface number:
-
-     ip addr add ethx <IP_address>
-
-4. Verify that the interface works. Enter the following, where <IP_address>
-   is the IP address for another machine on the same subnet as the interface
-   that is being tested:
-
-     ping  <IP_address>
-
-
-Command Line Parameters
-=======================
-
-If the driver is built as a module, the  following optional parameters are
-used by entering them on the command line with the modprobe command using
-this syntax:
-
-     modprobe ixgb [<option>=<VAL1>,<VAL2>,...]
-
-For example, with two 10GbE PCI adapters, entering:
-
-     modprobe ixgb TxDescriptors=80,128
-
-loads the ixgb driver with 80 TX resources for the first adapter and 128 TX
-resources for the second adapter.
-
-The default value for each parameter is generally the recommended setting,
-unless otherwise noted.
-
-FlowControl
-Valid Range: 0-3 (0=none, 1=Rx only, 2=Tx only, 3=Rx&Tx)
-Default: Read from the EEPROM
-         If EEPROM is not detected, default is 1
-    This parameter controls the automatic generation(Tx) and response(Rx) to
-    Ethernet PAUSE frames.  There are hardware bugs associated with enabling
-    Tx flow control so beware.
-
-RxDescriptors
-Valid Range: 64-512
-Default Value: 512
-    This value is the number of receive descriptors allocated by the driver.
-    Increasing this value allows the driver to buffer more incoming packets.
-    Each descriptor is 16 bytes.  A receive buffer is also allocated for
-    each descriptor and can be either 2048, 4056, 8192, or 16384 bytes,
-    depending on the MTU setting.  When the MTU size is 1500 or less, the
-    receive buffer size is 2048 bytes. When the MTU is greater than 1500 the
-    receive buffer size will be either 4056, 8192, or 16384 bytes.  The
-    maximum MTU size is 16114.
-
-RxIntDelay
-Valid Range: 0-65535 (0=off)
-Default Value: 72
-    This value delays the generation of receive interrupts in units of
-    0.8192 microseconds.  Receive interrupt reduction can improve CPU
-    efficiency if properly tuned for specific network traffic.  Increasing
-    this value adds extra latency to frame reception and can end up
-    decreasing the throughput of TCP traffic.  If the system is reporting
-    dropped receives, this value may be set too high, causing the driver to
-    run out of available receive descriptors.
-
-TxDescriptors
-Valid Range: 64-4096
-Default Value: 256
-    This value is the number of transmit descriptors allocated by the driver.
-    Increasing this value allows the driver to queue more transmits.  Each
-    descriptor is 16 bytes.
-
-XsumRX
-Valid Range: 0-1
-Default Value: 1
-    A value of '1' indicates that the driver should enable IP checksum
-    offload for received packets (both UDP and TCP) to the adapter hardware.
-
-
-Improving Performance
-=====================
-
-With the 10 Gigabit server adapters, the default Linux configuration will
-very likely limit the total available throughput artificially.  There is a set
-of configuration changes that, when applied together, will increase the ability
-of Linux to transmit and receive data.  The following enhancements were
-originally acquired from settings published at http://www.spec.org/web99/ for
-various submitted results using Linux.
-
-NOTE: These changes are only suggestions, and serve as a starting point for
-      tuning your network performance.
-
-The changes are made in three major ways, listed in order of greatest effect:
-- Use ip link to modify the mtu (maximum transmission unit) and the txqueuelen
-  parameter.
-- Use sysctl to modify /proc parameters (essentially kernel tuning)
-- Use setpci to modify the MMRBC field in PCI-X configuration space to increase
-  transmit burst lengths on the bus.
-
-NOTE: setpci modifies the adapter's configuration registers to allow it to read
-up to 4k bytes at a time (for transmits).  However, for some systems the
-behavior after modifying this register may be undefined (possibly errors of
-some kind).  A power-cycle, hard reset or explicitly setting the e6 register
-back to 22 (setpci -d 8086:1a48 e6.b=22) may be required to get back to a
-stable configuration.
-
-- COPY these lines and paste them into ixgb_perf.sh:
-#!/bin/bash
-echo "configuring network performance , edit this file to change the interface
-or device ID of 10GbE card"
-# set mmrbc to 4k reads, modify only Intel 10GbE device IDs
-# replace 1a48 with appropriate 10GbE device's ID installed on the system,
-# if needed.
-setpci -d 8086:1a48 e6.b=2e
-# set the MTU (max transmission unit) - it requires your switch and clients
-# to change as well.
-# set the txqueuelen
-# your ixgb adapter should be loaded as eth1 for this to work, change if needed
-ip li set dev eth1 mtu 9000 txqueuelen 1000 up
-# call the sysctl utility to modify /proc/sys entries
-sysctl -p ./sysctl_ixgb.conf
-- END ixgb_perf.sh
-
-- COPY these lines and paste them into sysctl_ixgb.conf:
-# some of the defaults may be different for your kernel
-# call this file with sysctl -p <this file>
-# these are just suggested values that worked well to increase throughput in
-# several network benchmark tests, your mileage may vary
-
-### IPV4 specific settings
-# turn TCP timestamp support off, default 1, reduces CPU use
-net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 0
-# turn SACK support off, default on
-# on systems with a VERY fast bus -> memory interface this is the big gainer
-net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 0
-# set min/default/max TCP read buffer, default 4096 87380 174760
-net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 10000000 10000000 10000000
-# set min/pressure/max TCP write buffer, default 4096 16384 131072
-net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 10000000 10000000 10000000
-# set min/pressure/max TCP buffer space, default 31744 32256 32768
-net.ipv4.tcp_mem = 10000000 10000000 10000000
-
-### CORE settings (mostly for socket and UDP effect)
-# set maximum receive socket buffer size, default 131071
-net.core.rmem_max = 524287
-# set maximum send socket buffer size, default 131071
-net.core.wmem_max = 524287
-# set default receive socket buffer size, default 65535
-net.core.rmem_default = 524287
-# set default send socket buffer size, default 65535
-net.core.wmem_default = 524287
-# set maximum amount of option memory buffers, default 10240
-net.core.optmem_max = 524287
-# set number of unprocessed input packets before kernel starts dropping them; default 300
-net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 300000
-- END sysctl_ixgb.conf
-
-Edit the ixgb_perf.sh script if necessary to change eth1 to whatever interface
-your ixgb driver is using and/or replace '1a48' with appropriate 10GbE device's
-ID installed on the system.
-
-NOTE: Unless these scripts are added to the boot process, these changes will
-      only last only until the next system reboot.
-
-
-Resolving Slow UDP Traffic
---------------------------
-If your server does not seem to be able to receive UDP traffic as fast as it
-can receive TCP traffic, it could be because Linux, by default, does not set
-the network stack buffers as large as they need to be to support high UDP
-transfer rates.  One way to alleviate this problem is to allow more memory to
-be used by the IP stack to store incoming data.
-
-For instance, use the commands:
-    sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=262143
-and
-    sysctl -w net.core.rmem_default=262143
-to increase the read buffer memory max and default to 262143 (256k - 1) from
-defaults of max=131071 (128k - 1) and default=65535 (64k - 1).  These variables
-will increase the amount of memory used by the network stack for receives, and
-can be increased significantly more if necessary for your application.
-
-
-Additional Configurations
-=========================
-
-  Configuring the Driver on Different Distributions
-  -------------------------------------------------
-  Configuring a network driver to load properly when the system is started is
-  distribution dependent. Typically, the configuration process involves adding
-  an alias line to /etc/modprobe.conf as well as editing other system startup
-  scripts and/or configuration files.  Many popular Linux distributions ship
-  with tools to make these changes for you.  To learn the proper way to
-  configure a network device for your system, refer to your distribution
-  documentation.  If during this process you are asked for the driver or module
-  name, the name for the Linux Base Driver for the Intel 10GbE Family of
-  Adapters is ixgb.
-
-  Viewing Link Messages
-  ---------------------
-  Link messages will not be displayed to the console if the distribution is
-  restricting system messages. In order to see network driver link messages on
-  your console, set dmesg to eight by entering the following:
-
-       dmesg -n 8
-
-  NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots.
-
-
-  Jumbo Frames
-  ------------
-  The driver supports Jumbo Frames for all adapters. Jumbo Frames support is
-  enabled by changing the MTU to a value larger than the default of 1500.
-  The maximum value for the MTU is 16114.  Use the ip command to
-  increase the MTU size.  For example:
-
-        ip li set dev ethx mtu 9000
-
-  The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 16114.  This value coincides
-  with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 16128.
-
-
-  ethtool
-  -------
-  The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
-  diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information.  The ethtool
-  version 1.6 or later is required for this functionality.
-
-  The latest release of ethtool can be found from
-  https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/
-
-  NOTE: The ethtool version 1.6 only supports a limited set of ethtool options.
-        Support for a more complete ethtool feature set can be enabled by
-        upgrading to the latest version.
-
-
-  NAPI
-  ----
-
-  NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the ixgb driver.  NAPI is enabled
-  or disabled based on the configuration of the kernel.  see CONFIG_IXGB_NAPI
-
-  See www.cyberus.ca/~hadi/usenix-paper.tgz for more information on NAPI.
-
-
-Known Issues/Troubleshooting
-============================
-
-  NOTE: After installing the driver, if your Intel Network Connection is not
-  working, verify in the "In This Release" section of the readme that you have
-  installed the correct driver.
-
-  Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4 Server Adapter Cable Interoperability Issue with
-  Fujitsu XENPAK Module in SmartBits Chassis
-  ---------------------------------------------------------------------
-  Excessive CRC errors may be observed if the Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4
-  Server adapter is connected to a Fujitsu XENPAK CX4 module in a SmartBits
-  chassis using 15 m/24AWG cable assemblies manufactured by Fujitsu or Leoni.
-  The CRC errors may be received either by the Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4
-  Server adapter or the SmartBits. If this situation occurs using a different
-  cable assembly may resolve the issue.
-
-  CX4 Server Adapter Cable Interoperability Issues with HP Procurve 3400cl
-  Switch Port
-  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-  Excessive CRC errors may be observed if the Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4 Server
-  adapter is connected to an HP Procurve 3400cl switch port using short cables
-  (1 m or shorter). If this situation occurs, using a longer cable may resolve
-  the issue.
-
-  Excessive CRC errors may be observed using Fujitsu 24AWG cable assemblies that
-  Are 10 m or longer or where using a Leoni 15 m/24AWG cable assembly. The CRC
-  errors may be received either by the CX4 Server adapter or at the switch. If
-  this situation occurs, using a different cable assembly may resolve the issue.
-
-
-  Jumbo Frames System Requirement
-  -------------------------------
-  Memory allocation failures have been observed on Linux systems with 64 MB
-  of RAM or less that are running Jumbo Frames.  If you are using Jumbo
-  Frames, your system may require more than the advertised minimum
-  requirement of 64 MB of system memory.
-
-
-  Performance Degradation with Jumbo Frames
-  -----------------------------------------
-  Degradation in throughput performance may be observed in some Jumbo frames
-  environments.  If this is observed, increasing the application's socket buffer
-  size and/or increasing the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_*mem entry values may help.
-  See the specific application manual and /usr/src/linux*/Documentation/
-  networking/ip-sysctl.txt for more details.
-
-
-  Allocating Rx Buffers when Using Jumbo Frames
-  ---------------------------------------------
-  Allocating Rx buffers when using Jumbo Frames on 2.6.x kernels may fail if
-  the available memory is heavily fragmented. This issue may be seen with PCI-X
-  adapters or with packet split disabled. This can be reduced or eliminated
-  by changing the amount of available memory for receive buffer allocation, by
-  increasing /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes.
-
-
-  Multiple Interfaces on Same Ethernet Broadcast Network
-  ------------------------------------------------------
-  Due to the default ARP behavior on Linux, it is not possible to have
-  one system on two IP networks in the same Ethernet broadcast domain
-  (non-partitioned switch) behave as expected.  All Ethernet interfaces
-  will respond to IP traffic for any IP address assigned to the system.
-  This results in unbalanced receive traffic.
-
-  If you have multiple interfaces in a server, do either of the following:
-
-  - Turn on ARP filtering by entering:
-      echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/arp_filter
-
-  - Install the interfaces in separate broadcast domains - either in
-    different switches or in a switch partitioned to VLANs.
-
-
-  UDP Stress Test Dropped Packet Issue
-  --------------------------------------
-  Under small packets UDP stress test with 10GbE driver, the Linux system
-  may drop UDP packets due to the fullness of socket buffers. You may want
-  to change the driver's Flow Control variables to the minimum value for
-  controlling packet reception.
-
-
-  Tx Hangs Possible Under Stress
-  ------------------------------
-  Under stress conditions, if TX hangs occur, turning off TSO
-  "ethtool -K eth0 tso off" may resolve the problem.

+
+Command Line Parameters
+=======================
+
+max_vfs
+-------
+:Valid Range: 1-63
+
+This parameter adds support for SR-IOV. It causes the driver to spawn up to
+max_vfs worth of virtual functions.
+If the value is greater than 0 it will also force the VMDq parameter to be 1 or
+more.
+
+NOTE: This parameter is only used on kernel 3.7.x and below. On kernel 3.8.x
+and above, use sysfs to enable VFs. Also, for Red Hat distributions, this
+parameter is only used on version 6.6 and older. For version 6.7 and newer, use
+sysfs. For example::
+
+  #echo $num_vf_enabled > /sys/class/net/$dev/device/sriov_numvfs // enable VFs
+  #echo 0 > /sys/class/net/$dev/device/sriov_numvfs               //disable VFs
+
+The parameters for the driver are referenced by position. Thus, if you have a
+dual port adapter, or more than one adapter in your system, and want N virtual
+functions per port, you must specify a number for each port with each parameter
+separated by a comma. For example::
+
+  modprobe ixgbe max_vfs=4
+
+This will spawn 4 VFs on the first port.
+
+::
+
+  modprobe ixgbe max_vfs=2,4
+
+This will spawn 2 VFs on the first port and 4 VFs on the second port.
+
+NOTE: Caution must be used in loading the driver with these parameters.
+Depending on your system configuration, number of slots, etc., it is impossible
+to predict in all cases where the positions would be on the command line.
+
+NOTE: Neither the device nor the driver control how VFs are mapped into config
+space. Bus layout will vary by operating system. On operating systems that
+support it, you can check sysfs to find the mapping.
+
+NOTE: When either SR-IOV mode or VMDq mode is enabled, hardware VLAN filtering
+and VLAN tag stripping/insertion will remain enabled. Please remove the old
+VLAN filter before the new VLAN filter is added. For example,
+
+::
+
+  ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 100 // set VLAN 100 for VF 0
+  ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 0   // Delete VLAN 100
+  ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 200 // set a new VLAN 200 for VF 0
+
+With kernel 3.6, the driver supports the simultaneous usage of max_vfs and DCB
+features, subject to the constraints described below. Prior to kernel 3.6, the
+driver did not support the simultaneous operation of max_vfs greater than 0 and
+the DCB features (multiple traffic classes utilizing Priority Flow Control and
+Extended Transmission Selection).
+
+When DCB is enabled, network traffic is transmitted and received through
+multiple traffic classes (packet buffers in the NIC). The traffic is associated
+with a specific class based on priority, which has a value of 0 through 7 used
+in the VLAN tag. When SR-IOV is not enabled, each traffic class is associated
+with a set of receive/transmit descriptor queue pairs. The number of queue
+pairs for a given traffic class depends on the hardware configuration. When
+SR-IOV is enabled, the descriptor queue pairs are grouped into pools. The
+Physical Function (PF) and each Virtual Function (VF) is allocated a pool of
+receive/transmit descriptor queue pairs. When multiple traffic classes are
+configured (for example, DCB is enabled), each pool contains a queue pair from
+each traffic class. When a single traffic class is configured in the hardware,
+the pools contain multiple queue pairs from the single traffic class.
+
+The number of VFs that can be allocated depends on the number of traffic
+classes that can be enabled. The configurable number of traffic classes for
+each enabled VF is as follows:
+0 - 15 VFs = Up to 8 traffic classes, depending on device support
+16 - 31 VFs = Up to 4 traffic classes
+32 - 63 VFs = 1 traffic class
+
+When VFs are configured, the PF is allocated one pool as well. The PF supports
+the DCB features with the constraint that each traffic class will only use a
+single queue pair. When zero VFs are configured, the PF can support multiple
+queue pairs per traffic class.
+
+allow_unsupported_sfp
+---------------------
+:Valid Range: 0,1
+:Default Value: 0 (disabled)
+
+This parameter allows unsupported and untested SFP+ modules on 82599-based
+adapters, as long as the type of module is known to the driver.
+
+debug
+-----
+:Valid Range: 0-16 (0=none,...,16=all)
+:Default Value: 0
+
+This parameter adjusts the level of debug messages displayed in the system
+logs.
+
+
+Additional Features and Configurations
+======================================
+
+Flow Control
+------------
+Ethernet Flow Control (IEEE 802.3x) can be configured with ethtool to enable
+receiving and transmitting pause frames for ixgbe. When transmit is enabled,
+pause frames are generated when the receive packet buffer crosses a predefined
+threshold. When receive is enabled, the transmit unit will halt for the time
+delay specified when a pause frame is received.
+
+NOTE: You must have a flow control capable link partner.
+
+Flow Control is enabled by default.
+
+Use ethtool to change the flow control settings. To enable or disable Rx or
+Tx Flow Control::
+
+  ethtool -A eth? rx <on|off> tx <on|off>
+
+Note: This command only enables or disables Flow Control if auto-negotiation is
+disabled. If auto-negotiation is enabled, this command changes the parameters
+used for auto-negotiation with the link partner.
+
+To enable or disable auto-negotiation::
+
+  ethtool -s eth? autoneg <on|off>
+
+Note: Flow Control auto-negotiation is part of link auto-negotiation. Depending
+on your device, you may not be able to change the auto-negotiation setting.
+
+NOTE: For 82598 backplane cards entering 1 gigabit mode, flow control default
+behavior is changed to off. Flow control in 1 gigabit mode on these devices can
+lead to transmit hangs.
+
+Intel(R) Ethernet Flow Director
+-------------------------------
+The Intel Ethernet Flow Director performs the following tasks:
+
+- Directs receive packets according to their flows to different queues.
+- Enables tight control on routing a flow in the platform.
+- Matches flows and CPU cores for flow affinity.
+- Supports multiple parameters for flexible flow classification and load
+  balancing (in SFP mode only).
+
+NOTE: Intel Ethernet Flow Director masking works in the opposite manner from
+subnet masking. In the following command::
+
+  #ethtool -N eth11 flow-type ip4 src-ip 172.4.1.2 m 255.0.0.0 dst-ip \
+  172.21.1.1 m 255.128.0.0 action 31
+
+The src-ip value that is written to the filter will be 0.4.1.2, not 172.0.0.0
+as might be expected. Similarly, the dst-ip value written to the filter will be
+0.21.1.1, not 172.0.0.0.
+
+To enable or disable the Intel Ethernet Flow Director::
+
+  # ethtool -K ethX ntuple <on|off>
+
+When disabling ntuple filters, all the user programmed filters are flushed from
+the driver cache and hardware. All needed filters must be re-added when ntuple
+is re-enabled.
+
+To add a filter that directs packet to queue 2, use -U or -N switch::
+
+  # ethtool -N ethX flow-type tcp4 src-ip 192.168.10.1 dst-ip \
+  192.168.10.2 src-port 2000 dst-port 2001 action 2 [loc 1]
+
+To see the list of filters currently present::
+
+  # ethtool <-u|-n> ethX
+
+Sideband Perfect Filters
+------------------------
+Sideband Perfect Filters are used to direct traffic that matches specified
+characteristics. They are enabled through ethtool's ntuple interface. To add a
+new filter use the following command::
+
+  ethtool -U <device> flow-type <type> src-ip <ip> dst-ip <ip> src-port <port> \
+  dst-port <port> action <queue>
+
+Where:
+  <device> - the ethernet device to program
+  <type> - can be ip4, tcp4, udp4, or sctp4
+  <ip> - the IP address to match on
+  <port> - the port number to match on
+  <queue> - the queue to direct traffic towards (-1 discards the matched traffic)
+
+Use the following command to delete a filter::
+
+  ethtool -U <device> delete <N>
+
+Where <N> is the filter id displayed when printing all the active filters, and
+may also have been specified using "loc <N>" when adding the filter.
+
+The following example matches TCP traffic sent from 192.168.0.1, port 5300,
+directed to 192.168.0.5, port 80, and sends it to queue 7::
+
+  ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type tcp4 src-ip 192.168.0.1 dst-ip 192.168.0.5 \
+  src-port 5300 dst-port 80 action 7
+
+For each flow-type, the programmed filters must all have the same matching
+input set. For example, issuing the following two commands is acceptable::
+
+  ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 src-ip 192.168.0.1 src-port 5300 action 7
+  ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 src-ip 192.168.0.5 src-port 55 action 10
+
+Issuing the next two commands, however, is not acceptable, since the first
+specifies src-ip and the second specifies dst-ip::
+
+  ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 src-ip 192.168.0.1 src-port 5300 action 7
+  ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 dst-ip 192.168.0.5 src-port 55 action 10
+
+The second command will fail with an error. You may program multiple filters
+with the same fields, using different values, but, on one device, you may not
+program two TCP4 filters with different matching fields.
+
+Matching on a sub-portion of a field is not supported by the ixgbe driver, thus
+partial mask fields are not supported.
+
+To create filters that direct traffic to a specific Virtual Function, use the
+"user-def" parameter. Specify the user-def as a 64 bit value, where the lower 32
+bits represents the queue number, while the next 8 bits represent which VF.
+Note that 0 is the PF, so the VF identifier is offset by 1. For example::
+
+  ... user-def 0x800000002 ...
+
+specifies to direct traffic to Virtual Function 7 (8 minus 1) into queue 2 of
+that VF.
+
+Note that these filters will not break internal routing rules, and will not
+route traffic that otherwise would not have been sent to the specified Virtual
+Function.
+
+Jumbo Frames
+------------
+Jumbo Frames support is enabled by changing the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)
+to a value larger than the default value of 1500.
+
+Use the ifconfig command to increase the MTU size. For example, enter the
+following where <x> is the interface number::
+
+  ifconfig eth<x> mtu 9000 up
+
+Alternatively, you can use the ip command as follows::
+
+  ip link set mtu 9000 dev eth<x>
+  ip link set up dev eth<x>
+
+This setting is not saved across reboots. The setting change can be made
+permanent by adding 'MTU=9000' to the file::
+
+  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth<x> // for RHEL
+  /etc/sysconfig/network/<config_file> // for SLES
+
+NOTE: The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 9710. This value coincides
+with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 9728 bytes.
+
+NOTE: This driver will attempt to use multiple page sized buffers to receive
+each jumbo packet. This should help to avoid buffer starvation issues when
+allocating receive packets.
+
+NOTE: For 82599-based network connections, if you are enabling jumbo frames in
+a virtual function (VF), jumbo frames must first be enabled in the physical
+function (PF). The VF MTU setting cannot be larger than the PF MTU.
+
+Generic Receive Offload, aka GRO
+--------------------------------
+The driver supports the in-kernel software implementation of GRO. GRO has
+shown that by coalescing Rx traffic into larger chunks of data, CPU
+utilization can be significantly reduced when under large Rx load. GRO is an
+evolution of the previously-used LRO interface. GRO is able to coalesce
+other protocols besides TCP. It's also safe to use with configurations that
+are problematic for LRO, namely bridging and iSCSI.
+
+Data Center Bridging (DCB)
+--------------------------
+NOTE:
+The kernel assumes that TC0 is available, and will disable Priority Flow
+Control (PFC) on the device if TC0 is not available. To fix this, ensure TC0 is
+enabled when setting up DCB on your switch.
+
+DCB is a configuration Quality of Service implementation in hardware. It uses
+the VLAN priority tag (802.1p) to filter traffic. That means that there are 8
+different priorities that traffic can be filtered into. It also enables
+priority flow control (802.1Qbb) which can limit or eliminate the number of
+dropped packets during network stress. Bandwidth can be allocated to each of
+these priorities, which is enforced at the hardware level (802.1Qaz).
+
+Adapter firmware implements LLDP and DCBX protocol agents as per 802.1AB and
+802.1Qaz respectively. The firmware based DCBX agent runs in willing mode only
+and can accept settings from a DCBX capable peer. Software configuration of
+DCBX parameters via dcbtool/lldptool are not supported.
+
+The ixgbe driver implements the DCB netlink interface layer to allow user-space
+to communicate with the driver and query DCB configuration for the port.
+
+ethtool
+-------
+The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
+diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The latest ethtool
+version is required for this functionality. Download it at:
+https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/
+
+FCoE
+----
+The ixgbe driver supports Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Data Center
+Bridging (DCB). This code has no default effect on the regular driver
+operation. Configuring DCB and FCoE is outside the scope of this README. Refer
+to http://www.open-fcoe.org/ for FCoE project information and contact
+ixgbe-eedc@lists.sourceforge.net for DCB information.
+
+MAC and VLAN anti-spoofing feature
+----------------------------------
+When a malicious driver attempts to send a spoofed packet, it is dropped by the
+hardware and not transmitted.
+
+An interrupt is sent to the PF driver notifying it of the spoof attempt. When a
+spoofed packet is detected, the PF driver will send the following message to
+the system log (displayed by the "dmesg" command)::
+
+  ixgbe ethX: ixgbe_spoof_check: n spoofed packets detected
+
+where "x" is the PF interface number; and "n" is number of spoofed packets.
+NOTE: This feature can be disabled for a specific Virtual Function (VF)::
+
+  ip link set <pf dev> vf <vf id> spoofchk {off|on}
+

-
-
-Flow Control
-------------
-Ethernet Flow Control (IEEE 802.3x) can be configured with ethtool to enable
-receiving and transmitting pause frames for ixgbe. When TX is enabled, PAUSE
-frames are generated when the receive packet buffer crosses a predefined
-threshold.  When rx is enabled, the transmit unit will halt for the time delay
-specified when a PAUSE frame is received.
-
-Flow Control is enabled by default. If you want to disable a flow control
-capable link partner, use ethtool:
-
-     ethtool -A eth? autoneg off RX off TX off
-
-NOTE: For 82598 backplane cards entering 1 gig mode, flow control default
-behavior is changed to off.  Flow control in 1 gig mode on these devices can
-lead to Tx hangs.
-
-Intel(R) Ethernet Flow Director
--------------------------------
-Supports advanced filters that direct receive packets by their flows to
-different queues. Enables tight control on routing a flow in the platform.
-Matches flows and CPU cores for flow affinity. Supports multiple parameters
-for flexible flow classification and load balancing.
-
-Flow director is enabled only if the kernel is multiple TX queue capable.
-
-An included script (set_irq_affinity.sh) automates setting the IRQ to CPU
-affinity.
-
-You can verify that the driver is using Flow Director by looking at the counter
-in ethtool: fdir_miss and fdir_match.
-
-Other ethtool Commands:
-To enable Flow Director
-	ethtool -K ethX ntuple on
-To add a filter
-	Use -U switch. e.g., ethtool -U ethX flow-type tcp4 src-ip 10.0.128.23
-        action 1
-To see the list of filters currently present:
-	ethtool -u ethX
-
-Perfect Filter: Perfect filter is an interface to load the filter table that
-funnels all flow into queue_0 unless an alternative queue is specified using
-"action". In that case, any flow that matches the filter criteria will be
-directed to the appropriate queue.
-
-If the queue is defined as -1, filter will drop matching packets.
-
-To account for filter matches and misses, there are two stats in ethtool:
-fdir_match and fdir_miss. In addition, rx_queue_N_packets shows the number of
-packets processed by the Nth queue.
-
-NOTE: Receive Packet Steering (RPS) and Receive Flow Steering (RFS) are not
-compatible with Flow Director. IF Flow Director is enabled, these will be
-disabled.
-
-The following three parameters impact Flow Director.
-
-FdirMode
---------
-Valid Range: 0-2 (0=off, 1=ATR, 2=Perfect filter mode)
-Default Value: 1
-
-  Flow Director filtering modes.
-
-FdirPballoc
------------
-Valid Range: 0-2 (0=64k, 1=128k, 2=256k)
-Default Value: 0
-
-  Flow Director allocated packet buffer size.
-
-AtrSampleRate
---------------
-Valid Range: 1-100
-Default Value: 20
-
-  Software ATR Tx packet sample rate. For example, when set to 20, every 20th
-  packet, looks to see if the packet will create a new flow.
-
-Node
-----
-Valid Range:   0-n
-Default Value: 1 (off)
-
-  0 - n: where n is the number of NUMA nodes (i.e. 0 - 3) currently online in
-  your system
-  1: turns this option off
-
-  The Node parameter will allow you to pick which NUMA node you want to have
-  the adapter allocate memory on.
-
-max_vfs
--------
-Valid Range:   1-63
-Default Value: 0
-
-  If the value is greater than 0 it will also force the VMDq parameter to be 1
-  or more.
-
-  This parameter adds support for SR-IOV.  It causes the driver to spawn up to
-  max_vfs worth of virtual function.
-
-
-Additional Configurations
-=========================
-
-  Jumbo Frames
-  ------------
-  The driver supports Jumbo Frames for all adapters. Jumbo Frames support is
-  enabled by changing the MTU to a value larger than the default of 1500.
-  The maximum value for the MTU is 16110.  Use the ip command to
-  increase the MTU size.  For example:
-
-        ip link set dev ethx mtu 9000
-
-  The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 9710.  This value coincides
-  with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 9728.
-
-  Generic Receive Offload, aka GRO
-  --------------------------------
-  The driver supports the in-kernel software implementation of GRO.  GRO has
-  shown that by coalescing Rx traffic into larger chunks of data, CPU
-  utilization can be significantly reduced when under large Rx load.  GRO is an
-  evolution of the previously-used LRO interface.  GRO is able to coalesce
-  other protocols besides TCP.  It's also safe to use with configurations that
-  are problematic for LRO, namely bridging and iSCSI.
-
-  Data Center Bridging, aka DCB
-  -----------------------------
-  DCB is a configuration Quality of Service implementation in hardware.
-  It uses the VLAN priority tag (802.1p) to filter traffic.  That means
-  that there are 8 different priorities that traffic can be filtered into.
-  It also enables priority flow control which can limit or eliminate the
-  number of dropped packets during network stress.  Bandwidth can be
-  allocated to each of these priorities, which is enforced at the hardware
-  level.
-
-  To enable DCB support in ixgbe, you must enable the DCB netlink layer to
-  allow the userspace tools (see below) to communicate with the driver.
-  This can be found in the kernel configuration here:
-
-        -> Networking support
-          -> Networking options
-            -> Data Center Bridging support
-
-  Once this is selected, DCB support must be selected for ixgbe.  This can
-  be found here:
-
-        -> Device Drivers
-          -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y])
-            -> Ethernet (10000 Mbit) (NETDEV_10000 [=y])
-              -> Intel(R) 10GbE PCI Express adapters support
-                -> Data Center Bridging (DCB) Support
-
-  After these options are selected, you must rebuild your kernel and your
-  modules.
-
-  In order to use DCB, userspace tools must be downloaded and installed.
-  The dcbd tools can be found at:
-
-        http://e1000.sf.net
-
-  Ethtool
-  -------
-  The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
-  diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The latest
-  ethtool version is required for this functionality.
-
-  The latest release of ethtool can be found from
-  https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/
-
-  FCoE
-  ----
-  This release of the ixgbe driver contains new code to enable users to use
-  Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Data Center Bridging (DCB)
-  functionality that is supported by the 82598-based hardware.  This code has
-  no default effect on the regular driver operation, and configuring DCB and
-  FCoE is outside the scope of this driver README. Refer to
-  http://www.open-fcoe.org/ for FCoE project information and contact
-  e1000-eedc@lists.sourceforge.net for DCB information.
-
-  MAC and VLAN anti-spoofing feature
-  ----------------------------------
-  When a malicious driver attempts to send a spoofed packet, it is dropped by
-  the hardware and not transmitted.  An interrupt is sent to the PF driver
-  notifying it of the spoof attempt.
-
-  When a spoofed packet is detected the PF driver will send the following
-  message to the system log (displayed by  the "dmesg" command):
-
-  Spoof event(s) detected on VF (n)
-
-  Where n=the VF that attempted to do the spoofing.

-Known Issues
-============
-
-  Enabling SR-IOV in a 32-bit or 64-bit Microsoft* Windows* Server 2008/R2
-  Guest OS using Intel (R) 82576-based GbE or Intel (R) 82599-based 10GbE
-  controller under KVM
-  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-  KVM Hypervisor/VMM supports direct assignment of a PCIe device to a VM.  This
-  includes traditional PCIe devices, as well as SR-IOV-capable devices using
-  Intel 82576-based and 82599-based controllers.
-
-  While direct assignment of a PCIe device or an SR-IOV Virtual Function (VF)
-  to a Linux-based VM running 2.6.32 or later kernel works fine, there is a
-  known issue with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 VM that results in a "yellow
-  bang" error. This problem is within the KVM VMM itself, not the Intel driver,
-  or the SR-IOV logic of the VMM, but rather that KVM emulates an older CPU
-  model for the guests, and this older CPU model does not support MSI-X
-  interrupts, which is a requirement for Intel SR-IOV.
-
-  If you wish to use the Intel 82576 or 82599-based controllers in SR-IOV mode
-  with KVM and a Microsoft Windows Server 2008 guest try the following
-  workaround. The workaround is to tell KVM to emulate a different model of CPU
-  when using qemu to create the KVM guest:
-
-       "-cpu qemu64,model=13"
