From c8f9e99c7abdd4b2e4aae09313ba8f12df263a2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jianfeng Tan Date: Fri, 25 Mar 2016 08:47:47 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] config: enable i40e vector driver Previously, vector driver is not the first (default) choice for i40e, as it cannot fill packet type info for l3fwd to work well. Now there is an option for l3fwd to analysis packet type softly. So enable it by default.
