It defines also some configuration bits to support. The mbuf library defines also some offloads to support in drivers. Some of these features are not enough supported and need more efforts. You can check this table for a summary: http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/nics/overview.html#id1 These features are being summarized by Ferruh who needs help and review: http://dpdk.org/patch/26492 We must also take care of the new added features. Adding a feature means it should be supported by every drivers. For a PMD maintainer, the first step is to carefully review the new proposed feature in mbuf or ethdev. The second step is to implement it. Thanks for your help PS: this reminder was thought after sending this email: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-July/070591.html
