            Bug ID: 1292
           Summary: mbuf: L2 packet type names could be improved
           Product: DPDK
           Version: 23.11
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: core
          Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---

In rte_mbuf_ptype.h, having both L2 and ETHER in the Ethernet packet type names seems redundant.

RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER(_TIMESYNC|_ARP|_LLDP, etc.) could simply be RTE_PTYPE_L2(_TIMESYNC|_ARP|_LLDP, etc.).

Furthermore, RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER defines IP (both v4 and v6) packets, so IP should be part of the name, e.g. RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER_IP.
