Re: [RFC PATCH 6/9] net: dsa: hellcreek: Add debugging mechanisms

Hi Kurt,

 * Re-prioritization of packets based on the ether type (not mac address)

This can be done by offloading a tc skbedit priority action, and a
"protocol" key (even though I don't understand why you need to mention
"not mac address".

 * Packet logging (-> retrieval of packet time stamps) based on port, traffic class and direction

What does this mean? tcpdump can give you this, for traffic destined
to the CPU. Do you want to mirror/sample traffic to the CPU for debug?

What API would be useful for these mechanisms?

Thanks,
Kurt
