Our Product overview :

As shown in below block diagram, ICX-D processor & Fortville (XL710) are connected through PCI GEN3_X8 interface then 2 10G ports of Fortville are connected to Device 1 & Device 2 which are FPGAs.

Packet flow :

On each 10G interface of XL710, we have created 2 VFs as shown below,

Between Processor & Device 1 (FPGA) , packet flow is over vf 1 of rim1fvl interface as shown below,

we can able to mirror the packets between VFs with below command, that means in our case we can able to mirror the packets from vf 1 to vf 0 interface as shown below,
