Hi Hyong,

Thanks for sharing the information a query 'is ENIC Poll Mode Driver is been updated too?'(Section 16 under Network Interface Controller). 
a. If yes is it ok to link the patchwork in comment section? 
b. If no, will you be updating the documentation?

Thanks
Vipin Varghese

Vipin,

I am not planning to update the enic guide, as these changes (fw
version string, multicast filtering) do not need additional
explanations. Did you have something else in mind?

Thanks..

Thanks for sharing the information.

In my humble opinion

In documentation section '16.13. Supported features' states 'Unicast, multicast and broadcast transmission and reception'. So multicast 'filtering' to be added as supported feature or not is upto the individual for the PMD. But as you shared the information ' I am not planning to update the enic guide' I will leave this open to others for comment.

Question: Will there update for test cases for mac filtering been added? Reason the patch set is not covering test case addition.

I see what you mean now. Sure, I will send another patch to update
that section later. As is, it is really a duplicate of
doc/guides/nics/features. Not sure if we want to keep maintaining two
copies of the same information.

We have an internal DTS based test case for multicast filtering. Do we
need to mention test cases in commit logs now? I am a bit confused
where this question is coming from..

Apologies if the question was not clear, Let me try again 'Is there plan add test cases under dpdk/test/test folder?'

Thanks for update, hope we can see some unit test for enabling multicast filtering in upcoming cycles.
