Re: [PATCH] i40e: add VEB switching support for i40e

From: Thomas Monjalon <hidden>

VEB switching feature for i40e is used to enable the switching between the
 VSIs connect to the virtual bridge. The old implementation is setting the
 virtual bridge mode as VEPA which is port aggregation. Enable the switching 
 ability by setting the loop back mode for the specific VSIs which connect to PF
 or VFs. 

Signed-off-by: Zhe Tao <redacted>
Is VEB something specific to i40e?
Please explain the acronyms VEB, VSI and VEPA in the commit log or in a
doc dedicated to i40e. Having some design explanations in a doc would help
to understand the changes and to contribute.
Thanks
