[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 09/20] testpmd: rename vxlan in outer_ip in csum commands

Olivier Matz olivier.matz at 6wind.com
Wed Feb 4 10:25:14 CET 2015


The tx_checksum command concerns outer IP checksum, not VxLAN checksum.
Actually there is no checkum in VxLAN header, there is one checksum in
outer IP header, and one checksum in outer UDP header. This option only
controls the outer IP checksum.
