I agree with this. I was asking in order to understand what your were expecting from this API, for me it is clear. You should just maintain the current situation i.e. rte_eth_link.link_speed. This is already what your patches do. For the link speed capability (aka device_info->speed_capa), you should add a new line "speed capability" in the doc/guides/nics/overview.rst. Those who think it is useful will implement it in their PMD. Regards, -- N?lio Laranjeiro 6WIND
