Hi, David

    The TC Flower Classifier allows control of packets based on flows
determined by matching of well-known packet fields and metadata.
    Offload of the TC Flower classifier and related modules provides a
powerful mechanism to both increase throughput and reduce CPU
utilisation for users of such flow-based systems.

    The command "ethtool -N" can provide similar function.

    Now, hip08 SOC has flow classifier hardware offload capacity, which
tools we should support in HNS kernel driver?
    Can you give some suggestion?

    Regards
Wei Hu
