[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/4] net/tap: remote netdevice traffic capture

[Pascal Mazon <pascal.mazon@6wind.com>]

This patchset adds the special "remote" feature to the tap PMD, that
actually enables capturing traffic from another netdevice. This is
especially useful to get packets into the DPDK app, when the remote
netdevice has no DPDK support.

The "remote" feature requires flow API support as flow rules will be
configured on the remote netdevice for redirection, using the same
mechanism.

This series applies on top of:
