Yes, why not, I am only wondering why loopback / dummy (and others ?) only set NETIF_F_TSO :) Since I want to play with ECN, I might also add NETIF_F_TSO_ECN ;) For other flags, I really doubt it can matter on ifb ? [PATCH v3 net-next-2.6] ifb: add performance flags IFB can use the full set of features flags (NETIF_F_SG | NETIF_F_FRAGLIST | NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_NO_CSUM | NETIF_F_HIGHDMA) to avoid unnecessary split of some packets (GRO for example) Changli suggested to also set vlan_features, NETIF_F_TSO6, NETIF_F_TSO_ECN. Jarek suggested to add NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX as well. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Changli Gao Cc: Jarek Poplawski Cc: Pawel Staszewski Signed-off-by: David S.
