Detailed Description

A structure contains information about HW descriptor ring limitations.

Definition at line 1146 of file rte_ethdev.h.

Field Documentation

nb_max

uint16_t nb_max

Max allowed number of descriptors.

Examples:

examples/ethtool/ethtool-app/main.c, and examples/ethtool/lib/rte_ethtool.c.

Definition at line 1147 of file rte_ethdev.h.

nb_min

uint16_t nb_min

Min allowed number of descriptors.

Definition at line 1148 of file rte_ethdev.h.

nb_align

uint16_t nb_align

Number of descriptors should be aligned to.

Definition at line 1149 of file rte_ethdev.h.

nb_seg_max

uint16_t nb_seg_max

Max allowed number of segments per whole packet.

• For TSO packet this is the total number of data descriptors allowed by device.

nb_mtu_seg_max

Definition at line 1159 of file rte_ethdev.h.

nb_mtu_seg_max

uint16_t nb_mtu_seg_max

Max number of segments per one MTU.

• For non-TSO packet, this is the maximum allowed number of segments in a single transmit packet.
• For TSO packet each segment within the TSO may span up to this value.
