This is where you have a mistake. Hardware is already designed that
way. Mellanox NICs completion info have network_type indication of the
packet for which the completion refers to.
BTW, hardware that doesn't support network_type will still work. In
that case it is the SW indeed that finds the network_type but the
method for doing this should be avoided as much as possible.
