This needs to be discussed with Nvidia. I don't see any reasons for this to happen, other than possibly different FW configs.
Can we share this spreadsheet with them as well? I can add the relevant people if needed once I get an ack.

I have the impression that this shares a root cause with https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2143570
10k flows can put a toll on it.

Marcelo, could you tell us what would be the plan here? The other bug is closed.
