Hi Jingjing,

2014-05-24 09:37, Jingjing Wu:
> A generic filter mechanism for handling special packet is required.
> It will allow filters to be set in HW when available so that specific
> packet may be filtered by NICs to specific descriptor queues for
> processing. Currently only Flow Director for Intel's 10GbE 82599

> NIC filters list below are implemented in this patchset:
>   ethertype filter, syn filter, 2tuple filter and flex filter for 82580 and
> i350 ethertype filter, syn filter, 5tuple filter for 82576
>   ethertype filter, syn filter and 5tuple filter for 82599

I'd like we have a discussion about how this API is generic enough.
I think many people would like to integrate drivers for other NICs in DPDK and 
I'd hate to see a global rework of this API because we haven't tried to think 
about it before.

First, is there someone in the mailing list who knows other hardware which 
could fit in this filtering feature?

Thanks
