Hello all

I have recently started a project that requires DPDK and the new Fortville
40G nic.

I am totally new to DPDK so please excuse what might as dumb questions.

Was wondering if anyone can enlighten me to the DPDK support for a number
of filter types on Fortville / i40e.

I have dpdk 1.7.1 compiled and a number of filter type i've tried to call
up using testpmd report back "Operation not supported".

I have noticed in threads that there is ongoing work to provide hardware
based filtering support for fortville / i40e. Anyone know what the current
state of that?

Basically i am interested in L2 filtering on Fortville:
filter filter
mac filter
vlan filter
ether_type filter

Regards.
