no.
just
phy(mlnx)->vlans only config

And today again after allpy patch for page allocator - reached again 
64/64 Gbit/s

with only 50-60% cpu load

today no slowpath hit for netwoking :)

But again dropped pckt at 64GbitRX and 64TX ....
And as it should not be pcie express limit  -i think something more is 
going on there - and hard to catch - cause perf top doestn chenged 
besides there is no queued slowpath hit now


I ordered now also intel cards to compare - but 3 weeks eta
Faster - cause 3 days - i will have mellanox connectx 5 - so can 
separate traffic to two different x16 pcie busses
