| |||
Virtualization | Virtual Machine Multiple Queue (VMMQ): Virtual Machine Multiple Queues (VMMQ), formerly known as Hardware vRSS, is a NIC offload technology that provides scalability for processing network traffic of a VPort in the host (root partition) of a virtualized node. In essence, VMMQ extends the native RSS feature to the VPorts that are associated with the physical function (PF) of a NIC including the default VPort. | - | |
Network Direct Kernel Provider Interface (NDK v2): The Network Direct Kernel Provider Interface (NDKPI) is an extension to NDIS that allows IHVs to provide kernel-mode Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) support in a network adapter. | - | ||
SR-IOV Port Mode: Changed the default value of SriovPortMode to Manual. Now, by default on dual-port devices the maximum number of VFs will be split between the two ports. | |||
RDMA over VM in SR IOV Mode (Beta Level): Allows the user to work with ND and NDK over Virtual Machines when in SR-IOV mode. | |||
Ethernet | PacketDirect Provider Interface: PacketDirect extends NDIS with an accelerated I/O model, which can increase the number of packets processed per second by an order of magnitude and significantly decrease jitter when compared to the traditional NDIS I/O path. | - | |
Bug Fixes | See Bug Fixes History. | - | |

Improved mlxtool error handling for the pkeys option. When a broken IPoIB interface registry entry exists (for example, an old virtual interface that was not fully removed), the tool would fail and exit. Now the tool skips such entries and prints the next ones. | 642352 | ||
General | Enabled dual-port card to work as a single-port card. | - | |

All options stay as they are and can only be chosen if they were selected explicitly in the UI/registry. The current default state is as follows: The value is now derived from the MTU (or MaxFramSize, or Jumbo Packets value) and they are all aliases for the same value). The value is aligned to 256,512,1024,2048 in a way that it will be rounded down to the nearest power of two of the ETH MTU. | ||
