Description

VPX running on KVM platforms with virtio NICs might report TX stall when operating in single PE mode.

The following conditions must be met to hit this issue.
1) VPX hosted on KVM
2) Version: 13.1-45.x or later
3) 2vCPU ( single PE )
4) When the packet takes more than 4 sec to get transferred
 

Resolution

We have the following workarounds:
Option 1:Versions before 13.1-45.X are not impacted. Downgrading is a temporary workaround.
Option 2: Assign more than 2 vCPUs for the VPX .
Note: We need to make sure that the license allows more than 2vCPUs).Please refer to the following license datasheet for VPX.

As a permanent  fix , we need to upgrade to the fixed build of NSHELP-37106.
