[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/2] Add ptype and xsum handling in i40e rx vpmd

[Jeff Shaw]

Our testing suggests minimal (in some cases zero) impact to core-bound
forwarding throughput as measured by testpmd. Throughput increase is
observed in l3fwd as now the vpmd can be used with hw_ip_checksum
enabled and without needing '--parse-ptype'.

The benefits to applications using this functionality is realized when
Ethernet processing and L3/L4 checksum validation can be skipped.

We hope others can also test performance in their applications while
conducting a review of this series.
