Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] proposal: raw packet send and receive API for PMD driver
Date: Wed, 27 May 2015 04:18:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <F419E10E125D764AAD38458CF4AE18540EB5FEB3@asdag1> (raw)
I think it is very important to decouple PMD driver with DPDK framework.
(1) Currently, the rte_mbuf struct is too simple and hard to support complex application such as IPSEC, flow control etc. This key struct should be extendable to support customer defined management header and hardware offloading feature.
(2) To support more NICs.
So, I thinks it time to add new API for PMD(a no radical way), and developer can add initial callback function in PMD for various upper layer protocol procedures.
