[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] examples/ptpclient: fix Tx configuration

Pablo de Lara pablo.de.lara.guarch at intel.com
Thu Feb 1 17:42:27 CET 2018


The PTP Client application requires IEEE1588 to be supported
by the network driver used, which needs full Tx data path
to be used.

Fixes: b960219b0d83 ("examples/ptpclient: convert to new ethdev offloads API")
