Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] doc: announce ABI change for link speed
Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2015 08:21:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1450164074-16090-1-git-send-email-thomas.monjalon@6wind.com> (raw)
A rework was prepared by Marc Sune:
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2015-October/026037.html
The goal is to retrieve the supported link speed of a device
and to allow 100G devices while having a consistent API.
