[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] l3fwd: fix lookup burst size for ipv6

Tue Nov 3 21:13:48 CET 2015


Lookup burst size was changed for exact match
from 4 to 8, for both ipv4 and ipv6, but actually only
4 keys were being looked up for ipv6, instead of 8,
causing random segmentation faults.

Fixes: 80fcb4d4 ("examples/l3fwd: increase lookup burst size to 8")
