* **Added vDPA device APIs to query virtio queue statistics.**
* Re-implemented get_fdir_info and get_fdir_stat in private API.
+* **Updated NXP dpaa ethdev PMD.**
+
+ Updated the NXP dpaa ethdev with new features and improvements, including:
+
+ * Added support for link status and interrupt
+ * Added support to use datapath APIs from non-EAL pthread
+
* **Updated NXP dpaa2 ethdev PMD.**
Updated the NXP dpaa2 ethdev with new features and improvements, including:
* Added support to use datapath APIs from non-EAL pthread
+ * Added support for dynamic flow management
* **Added DOCSIS protocol to rte_security.**
* **Updated the QuickAssist Technology (QAT) PMD.**
- * Added support for lookaside protocol offload for DOCSIS through the
- ``rte_security`` API.
- * Added Chacha20-Poly1305 AEAD algorithm.
+ * Added support for lookaside protocol offload in QAT crypto PMD
+ for DOCSIS through the ``rte_security`` API.
+ * Added Chacha20-Poly1305 AEAD algorithm in QAT crypto PMD.
* Improved handling of multi process in QAT crypto and compression PMDs.
+ * Added support for Intel GEN2 QuickAssist device 200xx
+ (PF Did 0x18ee, VF Did 0x18ef).
* **Updated the OCTEON TX2 crypto PMD.**
- Added Chacha20-Poly1305 AEAD algorithm support in OCTEON TX2 crypto PMD.
+ * Added Chacha20-Poly1305 AEAD algorithm support in OCTEON TX2 crypto PMD.
+
+ * Updated the OCTEON TX2 crypto PMD to support ``rte_security`` lookaside
+ protocol offload for IPsec.
* **Added support for BPF_ABS/BPF_IND load instructions.**
which are used to access packet data in a safe manner. Currently JIT support
for these instructions is implemented for x86 only.
+* **Added new testpmd forward mode.**
+
+ Added new ``5tswap`` forward mode to testpmd.
+ the ``5tswap`` swaps source and destination in layers 2,3,4
+ for ipv4 and ipv6 in L3 and UDP and TCP in L4.
+
* **Added flow performance test application.**
Added new application to test ``rte_flow`` performance, including:
See the :doc:`../sample_app_ug/l2_forward_real_virtual` for more
details of this parameter usage.
+* **Updated ipsec-secgw sample application.**
+
+ Added ``rte_flow`` based rules, which allows hardware parsing and steering
+ of ingress packets to specific NIC queues.
+ See the :doc:`../sample_app_ug/ipsec_secgw` for more details.
