Subject: [dpdk-dev] [RFC v2] ethdev: add VLAN attributes to ETH and VLAN items
Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2020 13:36:31 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <078b987cd79226d2e2f491d7b994bc7a421e8d3f.1596710212.git.dekelp@mellanox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <6e8b7c61a92b51749b11ac3bfae5c0201352f9b3.1596550675.git.dekelp@mellanox.com>
In existing code the match on tagged/untagged packets is not explicit.
Recent documentation update [1] describes the different patterns and
clarifies the intended use of different patterns.
This patch proposes an update to ETH and VLAN items struct, to clearly
define the required characteristic of a packet, and enable precise
match criteria.
