-* ethdev: a new Tx and Rx offload API was introduced on 17.11.
- In the new API, offloads are divided into per-port and per-queue offloads.
- Offloads are disabled by default and enabled per application request.
-
- In later releases the old offloading API will be deprecated, which will include:
- - removal of ``ETH_TXQ_FLAGS_NO*`` flags.
- - removal of ``txq_flags`` field from ``rte_eth_txconf`` struct.
- - removal of the offloads bit-field from ``rte_eth_rxmode`` struct.
-
-* ethdev: A new offloading flag ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_KEEP_CRC`` will be added in v18.08,
- This will replace the usage of not setting ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_CRC_STRIP`` flag
- and will be implemented in PMDs accordingly.
- In v18.08 both ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_KEEP_CRC`` and ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_CRC_STRIP`` flags
- will be available, usage will be:
- ``CRC_STRIP``: Strip CRC from packet
- ``KEEP_CRC``: Keep CRC in packet
- Both ``CRC_STRIP`` & ``KEEP_CRC``: Invalid
- No flag: Keep CRC in packet
-
