Subject: [dpdk-dev] [RFC] ethdev: add VLAN attributes to ETH item
Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2020 18:36:20 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6e8b7c61a92b51749b11ac3bfae5c0201352f9b3.1596550675.git.dekelp@mellanox.com> (raw)
In existing code the match on tagged/untagged packets is not explicit.
Recent documentation update [1] describes the different patterns and
clarifies the intended use of different patterns.
This patch proposes an update to ETH item struct, to clearly define the
required characteristic of a packet, and enable precise match criteria.
