I see your point and understand the problem now. Thinking a bit more about it I realize that consistency check here should be more sophisticated. It should not allow: - seg1 - length-based, seg2 - proto-based, seg3 - payload - seg1 - proto-based, seg2 - legnth-based, seg3 - proto-based, seg4 - payload I.e. no protocol-based split after length-based. But should allow: - seg1 - proto-based, seg2 - legnth-based, seg3 - payload I.e. length based split after protocol-based. Taking the last point above into account, proto_hdr in the last segment should be 0 like in length-based split (not RTE_PTYPE_ALL_MASK). It is an interesting question how to request: - seg1 - ETH, seg2 - IPv4, seg3 - UDP, seg4 - payload Should we really repeat ETH in seg2->proto_hdr and seg3->proto_hdr header and IPv4 in seg3->proto_hdr again? I tend to say no since when packet comes to seg2 it already has no ETH header. If so, how to handle configuration when ETH is repeat in seg2? For example, - seg1 ETH+IPv4+UDP - seg2 ETH+IPv6+UDP - seg2 0 Should we deny it or should we define behaviour like. If a packet does not match segX proto_hdr, the segment is skipped and segX+1 considered. Of course, not all drivers/HW supports it. If so, such configuration should be just discarded by the driver itself.
