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: [PATCH 0/4] net/tap: support flow API Pascal Mazon (4): net/tap: add remote netdevice traffic capture net/tap: reflect tap flags on the remote net/tap: use the remote MAC address if available net/tap: set MTU on the remote doc/guides/nics/tap.rst | 17 ++ drivers/net/tap/rte_eth_tap.c | 212 ++++++++++++++++++--- drivers/net/tap/tap.h | 4 + drivers/net/tap/tap_flow.c | 414 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- drivers/net/tap/tap_flow.h | 24 +++ 5 files changed, 631 insertions(+), 40 deletions(-) -- 2.8.0.rc0
