I found that in perfect fdir is also supported in enic driver.

During the R1.8 development, we defined a new dev_ops call filter_ctrl,
which can be used to control kinds of filters, flow director is included
too. Which is mentioned in
http://www.dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2014-September/005179.html .
In R1.8, filter_ctrl is only used by i40e driver. And we also planned use
it in the existing ixgbe/e1000 driver in the next days. The old APIs such
as fdir_add_perfect_filter, fdir_remove_perfect_filter can be replaced
then.

Hi Jingjing,
Thanks for the info and the link.  I shall take a look at it.
It looks like bringing in one interface for all filter related operations.
 I believe ENIC should also move to it.

Yes please.
It is planned to remove or deprecate old flow director API.
