-Also, L4 (UDP/TCP/ SCTP) checksum offload by the NIC can be enabled for an individual packet as long as the packet mbuf is set up correctly.
-In terms of UDP tunneling packet, the PKT_TX_UDP_TUNNEL_PKT flag must be set to enable tunneling packet TX checksum offload for both outer layer and inner layer.
-Refer to the testpmd source code (specifically the csumonly.c file) for details.
-
-That being said, the support of some offload features implies the addition of dedicated status bit(s) and value field(s) into the rte_mbuf
-data structure, along with their appropriate handling by the receive/transmit functions exported by each PMD.
-
-For instance, this is the case for the IEEE1588 packet timestamp mechanism, the VLAN tagging and the IP checksum computation, as described in
-the Section 7.6 "Meta Information".
