[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/3] ixgbe: Add L2 Ethertype, SYN and Five tuple queue filters

[Vladimir Medvedkin]

Hi Thomas,

Sorry for late reply, I'm on vacation now.

1. I'm not shure about other NICs but Intel. API for Intel NICs is generic
enough, even more generic than Jingjing's API because of pool logic.
Besides I think it's more properly make rx_queue as part of filter struct
for Jingjing's etype and 5-tuple filters implementation.

2. I'll try to send checked patch today.

Regards,
Vladimir.
