CTPIO has the following requirements:
- CTPIO is a feature of the X2 series of adapters. On the X2 models, CTPIO is enabled by default.
- The minimum adapter driver and firmware versions are identified below:
# ethtool -i <interface>driver: sfcversion: 4.13.1.1034firmware-version: 7.1.1.1007 rx1 tx1 - CTPIO can be used with all adapter firmware variant settings apart from capture-packed-stream.
Because CTPIO bypasses the main adapter datapath, packets sent by CTPIO cannot be looped back in hardware. As a result, CTPIO is not enabled by default on interfaces running full-featured firmware. This behavior can be overridden using a configuration variable. See EF_CTPIO_SWITCH_BYPASS.
- CTPIO can be used with Onload 201805 and later versions.
