Thanks this was missing. ``mbuf.l2_len``, ``mbuf.l3_len`` are required for TX CKSUM offload, in documentation there is no distinction for Rx or Tx, do you think does it worth to clarify PMD `uses` these values for Tx cksum offload only? > * **[provides] mbuf**: ``mbuf.ol_flags:PKT_RX_IP_CKSUM_UNKNOWN`` | > ``PKT_RX_IP_CKSUM_BAD`` | ``PKT_RX_IP_CKSUM_GOOD`` | > ``PKT_RX_IP_CKSUM_NONE``. >
