Re: [dpdk-dev] About the data payload of rte_mbuf?

Hi,

A quick query from your email

Snipped

> ipv4_hdr = rte_pktmbuf_mtod_offset(m, struct ipv4_hdr *, sizeof(struct
> ether_hdr)); 

Questions:
1. Should not be sizeof(struct ipv4_hdr) since you are passing second argument as ipv4_hdr?
2. you are getting packets which starts from ether or ipv4? If it is ethernet header would not you checking if ether type is ipv4 first? You can get arp, vlan, mpls right?

ip_len = ntohs(ipv4_hdr->total_length);
