+Limitations or Known issues
+---------------------------
+The 82599 hardware errata: UDP frames with a zero checksum can be marked as
+checksum errors. To support UDP zero checksum, the bad UDP checksum is marked
+as PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_UNKNOWN, so the application will recompute the checksum to
+validate it again.
