Bug ID: 1621
Summary: In packets provided by the PMD, some flags are missing
Product: DPDK
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: ethdev
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Description:
In packets provided by the PMD, some flags are missing. The application does not have access to information provided by the hardware (packet is broadcast, packet is multicast, packet is IPv4 and so on).
Implication:
The ol_flags field in the rte_mbuf structure is not correct and should not be used.
Resolution/Workaround:
The application has to parse the Ethernet header itself to get the information, which is slower.
Affected Environment/Platform:
All.
Driver/Module:
Poll Mode Driver (PMD).

This is an ancient known issue from ~2014. There is no point in leaving this open without specifics.
