Subject: Re: [vpp-dev] Mac Address Api Changes

The two APIs affected are the older ones in L2FIB which use “u64 mac” instead 
of “u8 mac[6]” to pass MAC addresses:

•        L2fib_add_del

•        L2_fib_table_details

I believe it is a good change to reduce confusion wrt how 6-byte MAC is stored 
in u64 with big/little endian hosts. The change would also require updates to 
user programs of these APIs, which we believe should be minimal.

If we don’t get strong objections within a week, we will assume the change is 
acceptable and allow this API change in the master branch. It won’t affect 
17.10 release.

John

Sure.  +1
