Like all legacy SR-IOV networking the correct thing to do here is clear

cannot pass traffic (either for administrative or physical link reasons)
then VFs shouldn't talk either. But as I said, every vendor will have their
own interpretation, and different users may expect different things...

I like this interpretation too.. but I agree that it's unfortunately confusing and each vendor has done something different.. :(

Thanks Jakub and Keller, at least now it's clear that it's not clear :P

Good enough info to move forward, for me.
