+/**
+ * @file
+ * RTE Mbuf Packet Types
+ *
+ * This file contains declarations for features related to mbuf packet
+ * types. The packet type gives information about the data carried by the
+ * mbuf, and is stored in the mbuf in a 32 bits field.
+ *
+ * The 32 bits are divided into several fields to mark packet types. Note that
+ * each field is indexical.
+ * - Bit 3:0 is for L2 types.
+ * - Bit 7:4 is for L3 or outer L3 (for tunneling case) types.
+ * - Bit 11:8 is for L4 or outer L4 (for tunneling case) types.
+ * - Bit 15:12 is for tunnel types.
+ * - Bit 19:16 is for inner L2 types.
+ * - Bit 23:20 is for inner L3 types.
+ * - Bit 27:24 is for inner L4 types.
+ * - Bit 31:28 is reserved.
+ *
+ * To be compatible with Vector PMD, RTE_PTYPE_L3_IPV4, RTE_PTYPE_L3_IPV4_EXT,
+ * RTE_PTYPE_L3_IPV6, RTE_PTYPE_L3_IPV6_EXT, RTE_PTYPE_L4_TCP, RTE_PTYPE_L4_UDP
+ * and RTE_PTYPE_L4_SCTP should be kept as below in a contiguous 7 bits.
+ *
+ * Note that L3 types values are selected for checking IPV4/IPV6 header from
+ * performance point of view. Reading annotations of RTE_ETH_IS_IPV4_HDR and
+ * RTE_ETH_IS_IPV6_HDR is needed for any future changes of L3 type values.
+ *
+ * Note that the packet types of the same packet recognized by different
+ * hardware may be different, as different hardware may have different
+ * capability of packet type recognition.
+ *
+ * examples:
+ * <'ether type'=0x0800
+ * | 'version'=4, 'protocol'=0x29
+ * | 'version'=6, 'next header'=0x3A
+ * | 'ICMPv6 header'>
+ * will be recognized on i40e hardware as packet type combination of,
+ * RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER |
+ * RTE_PTYPE_L3_IPV4_EXT_UNKNOWN |
+ * RTE_PTYPE_TUNNEL_IP |
+ * RTE_PTYPE_INNER_L3_IPV6_EXT_UNKNOWN |
+ * RTE_PTYPE_INNER_L4_ICMP.
+ *
+ * <'ether type'=0x86DD
+ * | 'version'=6, 'next header'=0x2F
+ * | 'GRE header'
+ * | 'version'=6, 'next header'=0x11
+ * | 'UDP header'>
