+GRO Library Limitations
+-----------------------
+
+- GRO library directly uses the values of MBUF->l2_len/l3_len/l4_len/
+ outer_l2_len/outer_l3_len to parse packet headers. In addition,
+ it relies on MBUF->pkt_len/data_len to process packets. Therefore,
+ to get correct reassembly results, applications must set correct
+ values to those MBUF metadata fields.

+- GRO library doesn't support to process packets with IPv4 option fields.
