For example, for "rte_eth_ipv4_flow" you have "tos" and "proto" fields added, but "ttl" was left out of scope. I believe that "rte_eth_udpv6_flow" should be compatible with new IPv4 structure, so "flow label", "tc", "next header" and "hop limit" to be added as well as other NICs might have support for fdir rules for all these fields. > I agree. I'll wait for some more review comments if there are any and then post a v2 RFC series with above changes. Thanks, Rahul
