That's great, thank you

Hello Luca,

Apologies for the delayed report and thank you for your patience,

We ran the following functional tests with Nvidia hardware on v24.11.5-rc1:
- Basic functionality:
   Send and receive multiple types of traffic.
- testpmd xstats counter test.
- testpmd timestamp test.
- Changing/checking link status through testpmd.
- rte_flow tests
(https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/nics/mlx5.html#supported-hardware-offloads)
- RSS tests.
- VLAN filtering, stripping, and insertion tests.
- Checksum and TSO tests.
- ptype tests.
- link_status_interrupt example application tests.
- l3fwd-power example application tests.
- Multi-process example applications tests.
- Hardware LRO tests.
- Buffer Split tests.
- Tx scheduling tests.

Functional tests ran on the following environments:

- NIC: ConnectX-6 Dx / OS: Ubuntu 22.04 / Driver: MLNX_OFED_LINUX-24.10-4.1.4.0 / Firmware: 22.43.4100
- NIC: ConnectX-7 / OS: Ubuntu 22.04 / Driver: MLNX_OFED_LINUX-24.10-4.1.4.0 / Firmware: 28.43.4100
- DPU: BlueField-2 / DOCA SW version: 2.9.4 / Firmware: 24.43.4100

We did not find issues caused by changes in this release.

Regards,
Ali

That's great, thanks
