[dpdk-dev] doc: update the enic guide and features
Checks
Commit Message
From: Hyong Youb Kim <hyonkim@cisco.com>
Documentation updates including for 1400 series VIC adapters.
Remove VLAN filter from the features file as the driver does not
support that API. Hardware does support VLAN filtering, but it is not
controlled through the driver.

Applied to dpdk-next-net/master, thanks.

- **Statistics**
- ``rx_good_bytes`` (ibytes) always includes VLAN header (4B) and CRC bytes (4B).
+ This behavior applies to 1300 and older series VIC adapters.
+ 1400 series VICs do not count CRC bytes, and count VLAN header only when VLAN
+ stripping is disabled.
- When the NIC drops a packet because the Rx queue has no free buffers,
``rx_good_bytes`` still increments by 4B if the packet is not VLAN tagged or
VLAN stripping is disabled, or by 8B if the packet is VLAN tagged and stripping
is enabled.
+ This behavior applies to 1300 and older series VIC adapters. 1400 series VICs
