[EXT] Re: [v4 07/10] net/dpaa: add Tx rate limiting DPAA PMD API

[Vanshika Shukla]

Hi Stephen,

We have exported the API and are currently testing it using our internal application. This feature is specific to our platform.

The existing ethdev queue rate_limit API supports per-queue rate limiting. However, our use case requires per-port rate limiting, so we have implemented a custom solution to support this functionality.

Regards,
Vanshika
