What is an Solarflare Onload stack and how is it related to their Virtual Interface












0















I am trying to understand what is an openonload stack and what are the benefits of using them. For example why would I split 8 multicast lines into 2 stacks (4 lines each) compared to 1 stack (8 lines for 1 stack). Will it help with RX drops?



I am also confused how this is relevant to their Virtual Interfaces (vNics) - do they get created automatically when we make a new onload stack?



I was trying to get it from their user guide http://www.smallake.kr/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/SF-104474-CD-20_Onload_User_Guide.pdf but they don't really describe it there in full detail.



Thanks!

          UIScrollView CustomStickyHeader Resize height generates problems when scroll is too fast

          Image
          0 I have been trying for a while to create a UIViewController that has a CustomStickyHeader and a UITableView. The idea I have been following is use the UITableView scrolling for changing the header view with the value of the contentOffset. The layout for the ViewController (AlbumsViewController) looks like: The UItableView Scrolling functions from the delegate are implemented like that: func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) { let endReached = contentTableView.contentOffset.y >= (contentTableView.contentSize.height - contentTableView.frame.size.height) let isUP = lastContentOffset > scrollView.contentOffset.y if scrollView.contentOffset.y < 0 { headerHeightConstraint.constant += abs(scrollView.contentOffset.y) } else{ if !endReached{ ...
