Do you mean that a segment should support multiple protocol headers, such as splitting both tcp and udp headers?

Thanks for your correction, it should be ETH_IPV4_UDP_PAYLOAD.

IMHO I don't think we can define which mempool to use, it depends on NIC behavior.
For our NIC, packets that are unable to split will be put into the last valid pool, with zero offset. 
So here we would like to define to put these packets into the last valid mempool, with zero offset.

Thanks for the suggestion, will  take care of naming.

Mix mode is an interesting idea. Currently testpmd and driver do not support mixed mode, but it does not affect the library to support this mode.

Thanks for your catch, will fix in the next version.

Sure, == is better. Thanks for the suggestion.

I intend to display the protocol name in the log, but if the proto_hdr is a bit mask, can I just show the number?
Please see v4 for this modification.
