Hi, Both these modes cannot co-exist.
There is a parameter 'classifier_enable' and 'hash_enable' as part of odp_pktin_queue_param_t which is used to identify whether classifier or hashing is enabled for a particular pktio interface. Both classifier and hash configuration are orthogonal and only one of the two can be enabled at any time. When you configure classification on the pktio interface then the packets will be routed only through classifier 'dst_queue' and not through event queues configured with the pktio interface and vice versa for 'hash_enable'. odp_pktin_event_queue() API is useful only for platforms which do not support classifier system. This is mainly targetted for HWs which only have RSS configured on the pktio and does not support flow-based classification. The same is documented in odp_pktin_queue_param_t structure pls check the documentation and let us know if you find any discrepancy.
