Tx side packet drop observed in a virtual environment

Hello all,

I am observing  Tx side packet drop when using a simple DPDK application in a VM.  The drop is not seen
when a delay  in Clock-Cycles in applied.  Is this an expected behavior?

Here is a test result:

Traffic Generator: Ostinato:

Ostinato:
Tx:  7.4 mbps
Rx: 7.3 mbps
Drop(DPDK TX): 222 pkts

Now if a delay of 90000 clock-cycles is applied the drop is not observed.



Best Regards,
Purnendu Ghosh
