Hello,
In some cases application does not need to receive entire packet
from port hardware.
Which scenarios need to be used?
A typical use case for the selective Rx data read can be the SAMPLE flow action.
In that scenario, Rx queue that receives sampled packet copy can be configured
to deliver to application partial packet data.
What is the behavior when
LRO(TCP packet aggregation is performed by hardware) is enabled?
The selective Rx data read is applied to MBUF layout that will be delivered to
an application.
That functionality comes after all HW Rx offloads.
Regards,
Gregory
