Hi,

I have a quick question about this field: how do I know if the 
underlying PMD supports a particular protocol parsing. Let's say I want 
to check for SCTP packets, looking at this field tells me EITHER the 
packet is SCTP (or not), OR that the hardware has no idea about SCTP. Is 
there a way to figure that support out?
