Some things could be cleaned up later, especially i40e specific flags in generic API must be removed. Please work on a patch for next release. Thanks for the hard work -- Thomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi Thomas Thank you greatly to merge those code! Btw, what do you mean the i40e specific flags in generic API? Did you mean the new flags defined in rte_mbuf.h? Yes, we are working on some bug fixes and enhancements which might need to be added in the next release. Hopefully we can see them soon. Regards, Helin
