Feature integration and NIC questions
-
Feature integration question:
I've seen that there are some fairly commonly used features such as DHCPv6 PD and Hairpin NAT that are supported in VPP (sometimes have been for years), that still aren't supported in TNSR. In such cases, is it simply that the feature hasn't been hooked up to the CLI and RESTCONF, or are there changes that have to be made elsewhere in the software TNSR stack when adding additional features already implemented in VPP?
It would be great to get a better understanding of that part of the feature integration process, if possible.
Is there a public issue tracker where we can get more details on the known issues listed in the release notes or are those numbers at the end just internal references?
NIC question:
I saw in some old thread on here that the Mellanox ConnectX-3 series of NICs are not officially supported due to some kind of issue (thread didn't go into details), and that it appears to have been removed from the list of recommended/officially supported NICs as a result. Are those NICs still not working? Do they work properly when TNSR is virtualized in KVM on something like Proxmox VE or is a newer NIC essentially a must?
