Limitations¶
There are issues running TNSR on Azure which can lead to problems when communicating using public IP addresses between multiple TNSR instances all running on Azure.
When a batch of packets is read using the DPDK netvsc
PMD, the driver
occasionally populates an invalid buffer address. Attempting to process that
packet results in a segmentation fault in the dataplane (VPP).
This issue only occurs when sending packets to a public IP address that is associated with a NIC that is managed by TNSR on Azure. Sending to the NIC private address from another VM in the same vnet does not result in a crash. Sending to the public IP address from a host outside of Azure also does not result in a crash.
The issue is being investigated by Microsoft.
