Hi Pepe,

Ofcourse a simple cast will not suffice.
Please look the rte_mbuf structure in the header files and let me know if y=
ou still have the confusion.
There is a header and payload. Your raw frame will go in the payload.


Regards
-Prashant

Hi,

In DPDK how should a raw ethernet frame converted to rte_mbuf * ?  For exam=
ple if I have an ARP packet:

void * arp_pkt

how should this be converted to an rte_mbuf * for transmission, does a simp=
le cast suffice ?

Cheers,
Pepe
