Hi,

In the flow_filtering sample application, the IP's mask was set without
using htonl().
https://github.com/DPDK/dpdk/blob/master/examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c#L85

Another DPDK page <https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/howto/rte_flow.html> shows
how a testpmd command is translated to C code.
On this page though, Example 4.2 (Range IPv4 drop) has used htonl() to set
the mask.

Any clarification on how to load the mask would be helpful.

Thanks,
Arvind
