[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] examples/ip_fragmentation: fix check of packet type

Wei Dai wei.dai at intel.com
Tue Mar 14 15:47:49 CET 2017


The packet_type in mbuf is not correctly filled by ixgbe 82599 NIC.
To use the ether_type in ethernet header to check packet type is
more reliaber.

Fixes: 3c0184cc0c60 ("examples: replace some offload flags with packet type")
Fixes: ab351fe1c95c ("mbuf: remove packet type from offload flags")
