+    The maximum number of receive queues (RQs), work queues (WQs) and
+    completion queues (CQs) are configurable on a per vNIC basis
+    through the Cisco UCS Manager (CIMC or UCSM).
+
+    These values should be configured as follows:
+
+    - The number of WQs should be greater or equal to the value of the
+      expected nb_tx_q parameter in the call to the
+      rte_eth_dev_configure()
+
+    - The number of RQs configured in the vNIC should be greater or
+      equal to *twice* the value of the expected nb_rx_q parameter in
+      the call to rte_eth_dev_configure().  With the addition of rx
+      scatter, a pair of RQs on the vnic is needed for each receive
+      queue used by DPDK, even if rx scatter is not being used.
+      Having a vNIC with only 1 RQ is not a valid configuration, and
+      will fail with an error message.
+
+    - The number of CQs should set so that there is one CQ for each
+      WQ, and one CQ for each pair of RQs.
+
+    For example: If the application requires 3 Rx queues, and 3 Tx
+    queues, the vNIC should be configured to have at least 3 WQs, 6
+    RQs (3 pairs), and 6 CQs (3 for use by WQs + 3 for use by the 3

+    An application requesting more than the set size will be limited to that
+    size.
+
+    Unless there is a lack of resources due to creating many vNICs, it

+    gives the application the greatest amount of flexibility in its

+
+    - *Note*: Since the introduction of rx scatter, for performance
+      reasons, this PMD uses two RQs on the vNIC per receive queue in
+      DPDK.  One RQ holds descriptors for the start of a packet the
+      second RQ holds the descriptors for the rest of the fragments of
+      a packet.  This means that the nb_rx_desc parameter to

+      amount will depend on the size of the mbufs being used for
+      receives, and the MTU size.
+
+      For example: If the mbuf size is 2048, and the MTU is 9000, then
+      receiving a full size packet will take 5 descriptors, 1 from the
+      start of packet queue, and 4 from the second queue.  Assuming
+      that the RQ size was set to the maximum of 4096, then the
+      application can specify up to 1024 + 4096 as the nb_rx_desc
+      parameter to rte_eth_rx_queue_setup().

 The floating VEB functionality requires a NIC firmware version of 5.0
 or greater.
+
+
+Limitations or Known issues
+---------------------------
+
+MPLS packet classification on X710/XL710
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For firmware versions prior to 5.0, MPLS packets are not recognized by the NIC.
+The L2 Payload flow type in flow director can be used to classify MPLS packet
+by using a command in testpmd like:
+
+   testpmd> flow_director_filter 0 mode IP add flow l2_payload ether \
+            0x8847 flexbytes () fwd pf queue <N> fd_id <M>
+
+With the NIC firmware version 5.0 or greater, some limited MPLS support
+is added: Native MPLS (MPLS in Ethernet) skip is implemented, while no
+new packet type, no classification or offload are possible. With this change,
+L2 Payload flow type in flow director cannot be used to classify MPLS packet
+as with previous firmware versions. Meanwhile, the Ethertype filter can be
+used to classify MPLS packet by using a command in testpmd like:
+
+   testpmd> ethertype_filter 0 add mac_ignr 00:00:00:00:00:00 ethertype \
+            0x8847 fwd queue <M>
+
+16 Byte Descriptor cannot be used on DPDK VF
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If the Linux i40e kernel driver is used as host driver, while DPDK i40e PMD
+is used as the VF driver, DPDK cannot choose 16 byte receive descriptor. That
+is to say, user should keep ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_I40E_16BYTE_RX_DESC=n`` in
+config file.
+
+Link down with i40e kernel driver after DPDK application exist
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+After DPDK application quit, and the device is bound back to Linux i40e
+kernel driver, the link cannot be up after ``ifconfig <dev> up``.
+To work around this issue, ``ethtool -s <dev> autoneg on`` should be
+set first and then the link can be brought up through ``ifconfig <dev> up``.
+
+NOTE: requires Linux kernel i40e driver version >= 1.4.X
+
+Receive packets with Ethertype 0x88A8
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Due to the FW limitation, PF can receive packets with Ethertype 0x88A8
+only when floating VEB is disabled.
