[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 1/9] librte_mbuf:the rte_mbuf structure changes

Tue Oct 21 10:46:00 CEST 2014


Remove the "reserved2" field and add the "packet_type" and the "inner_l2_l3_len" fields in the rte_mbuf structure.

The packet type field is used to indicate ordinary L2 packet format and also tunneling packet format such as IP in IP,
IP in GRE, MAC in GRE and MAC in UDP.

The inner L2 length and the inner L3 length are used for TX offloading of tunneling packet.
