Re: flow director on X550

Hi Wenzhuo,

Thanks for the reply.

​As par datasheet, if flow director filter matches then RSS won't impact as
RSS is the last filter to be applied on received packet.

But just to confirm, i tried and still issue persist. Any other thing that
you think i can try, please let me know.

Thanks.
