Hi,

Thank you Jijiang for taking the time to get back on this.

There is something I don't understand. A forward engine takes any packet
in input and output. Packets can be of any kind (eth/arp, eth/ip/tcp,
eth/vlan/ip/udp/vxlan/eth/ip/tcp, ...)

Today, the behavior of csum forward engine is defined for any kind of
packet. See the description and the table in
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2014-December/009886.html

All packets that are not "Ether[/vlan]/(IP|IP6)/(UDP|TCP|SCTP)" or
"Ether[/vlan]/(IP|IP6)/UDP/VxLAN/Ether[/vlan]/(IP|IP6)/UDP|TCP|SCTP"
are forwarded without beeing modified.

In my understanding, the use-case you are describing correspond to
specific packet types. So a configuration would work only for one
packet format only. Is it correct?

I think that the test-pmd command API should define a behavior for
the csum forward engine for any packet. What do you think?

Regards,
Olivier
