In OVS-DPDK, when using the Wangxun RP1000 network card, I found that the card
supports outer UDP checksum offload according to the capabilities retrieved by
OVS-DPDK. However, in actual testing, the outer UDP checksum of the transmitted
packets is incorrect. After I manually disabled
RTE_ETH_TX_OFFLOAD_OUTER_UDP_CKSUM in the OVS code, the traffic was normal. So,
does this mean that the card does not actually support outer UDP checksum
offload, but the capability is enabled in the DPDK code? Or is there a bug in
the implementation logic?

Before modification in OVS:
