Subject: Re: [dpdk-users] Round-robin packet distribution
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2020 15:50:09 +0200 [thread overview]

Flexible payload matching (aka RAW in flow API) works up to first 64b of the
packet - at least in e1000, ixgbe and i40e.
It will be easier if you can provide some details about you network
traffic.
