Hi. Thanks for working on this. Not a full review, just a few notes about formatting.
1. Looks like your subject line was accidentally cropped. 2. This change is local to generic parts of 'dpif-netdev', so, the "area" in a subject line should be 'dpif-netdev'. There is nothing DPDK specific here. On 11.03.2019 14:44, Yanqin Wei wrote: > It is observed that the throughput of multi-flow is worse than single-flow > in the EMC NIC to NIC cases.
