Note

• “Pass-through” feature flag refers to the ability of the PMD to let input buffers pass-through it, copying the input to the output, without making any modifications to it (no compression done).
• “OOP SGL In SGL Out” feature flag stands for “Out-of-place Scatter-gather list Input, Scatter-gather list Output”, which means PMD supports different scatter-gather styled input and output buffers (i.e. both can consists of multiple segments).
• “OOP SGL In LB Out” feature flag stands for “Out-of-place Scatter-gather list Input, Linear Buffers Output”, which means PMD supports input from scatter-gathered styled buffers, outputting linear buffers (i.e. single segment).
• “OOP LB In SGL Out” feature flag stands for “Out-of-place Linear Buffers Input, Scatter-gather list Output”, which means PMD supports input from linear buffer, outputting scatter-gathered styled buffers.
