Hello,

I've been using DPDK fdir filter APIs for 82599 NIC(Niantic) and they work
very well.

Was wondering if I these could also be used for I210, 1Gbps NICs?

The other option is to use 5tuple filters(rte_eth_dev_add_5tuple_filter
<http://dpdk.org/doc/api/rte__ethdev_8h.html#aaa28adafa65a4f47d4aeceaf1b08381b>),
however these do not support IPv6 yet.


Have people in the community had any luck with configuring L3/L4 hardware
filters for the I210 NIC?

Thanks,
Kam
