| Doc Text: |
When a VXLAN or Geneve tunnel between two Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 hosts was used and Generic Receive Offload (GRO) was enabled with Receive Side Scaling (RSS) configured to include UDP ports (ethtool -U eth0 rx-flow-hash udp4sdfn), traffic flowing through the tunnel exhibited substantial packet loss. This update fixes the underlying source code of the IP tunnel. As a result, the system performance has been improved and the packet loss no longer occurs under the described circumstances.
