Network Adapter Fast Datapath Feature Support Matrix
Updated
Overview of Fast Datapath
Fast Datapath is where Red Hat includes support for accelerated and non-accelerated data paths such as SR-IOV, OVS (kernel), DPDK, OVS-DPDK, OVS Offload and others. The FDP (Fast Datapath Production) channel is included only as part of the layered Red Hat products that use it, including Red Hat Virtualization, Red Hat OpenStack Platform and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
- Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) supports SR-IOV, OVS (kernel), OVS-DPDK and OVS TC/flower Offload [ RHEL 7 Tech Preview and GA Full Support in RHEL 8.2] for the NICs listed in the tables below. RHOSP 13 will pick up latest FDP stream content at next errata release (every 4-6 weeks), RHOSP 16 will pick up the latest FDP stream content as soon as it is generally available. For Long Life releases, OSP will update to the latest OVS version or stream from FDP channel during the Full Support phase but after the maintenance phase starts; see RHOSP lifecycle; there are no more updates to the latest OVS version or stream from FDP channel. For example, RHOSP 13 updated from OVS 2.9 to OVS 2.11 stream but will now stabilize on OVS 2.11 stream for the rest of its lifecycle.
- Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (RHOCP) supports OVS (kernel) for the NICs listed in the table below and SR-IOV for the NICs referenced in our This page is not included, but the link has been rewritten to point to the nearest parent document.RHOCP documentation under Networking.
At each OCP minor release, our engineering will evaluate the latest OVS version or stream for the FDP channel and decide its suitability for inclusion. - Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) has support for SR-IOV and OVS (kernel) for the NICs listed in the tables below, and picks up the latest release of FDP as soon as it is generally available. With every annual release, RHV updates to latest OVS stream or version from the FDP channel. For example RHV 4.3 has stabilized on OVS 2.11.
Network Adapter Support
For network adapter support please refer to the Red Hat Ecosystem This content is not included.Catalog. For questions on the catalog please use the "Have Feedback" button on the catalog page. This page will no longer provide supportability info for network adapters.
Openshift network adapter support should refer to the Openshift release documents.

Tested Firmware
The following tables list the firmware versions that have been tested for the Fast DataPath for each card that we support currently.
It is important to note that this list does not determine the required or supported firmware versions by Red Hat. The responsibility of firmware support lies with the vendor. The information provided in the tables is purely for reference and serves to indicate if customers are using firmware versions that have been tested by Red Hat, as a minimum requirement.
Future columns of FDP releases are where the next list will be populated for this year as firmware updates may occur each quarter. This report only reflects cards that are supported by OVS/DPDK. SR-IOV only support cards are not listed at this time.
