[dpdk-users] Question about range type of DPDK ACL

[이두환]

IPv4 address can be just 4byte integer value.
10.10.10.10 means 0x0a0a0a0a and 20.20.20.20 means 0x14141414
10.10.10.30 is 0x0a0a0a1e and it is greater than 0x0a0a0a0a and less then
0x14141414.
So, I think it should be matched but the result was not.
Did I miss something?
