+    Values in this class are taken from the definitions in the RTE MBUF core 
library in DPDK
+    located in lib/mbuf/rte_mbuf_core.h. It is expected that flag values in 
this class will match
+    the values they are set to in said DPDK library with one exception; all 
values must be unique.
+    For example, the definitions for unknown checksum flags in rte_mbuf_core.h 
are all set to
+    :data:`0`, but it is valuable to distinguish between them in this 
framework. For this reason
+    flags that are not unique in the DPDK library are set either to values 
within the

Good idea with the UKNOWN flag values.

+    #: The IP checksum in the packet is valid.

I see you kept the order and just used the corresponding flag values. Makes sense.

+    RTE_MBUF_F_TX_TUNNEL_ESP = 8 << 45

So the DPDK code mixes values withing flags? Would this work? We have to be careful with how we use this: PacketOffloadFlag.RTE_MBUF_F_TX_TUNNEL_VXLAN | PacketOffloadFlag.RTE_MBUF_F_TX_TUNNEL_GRE == PacketOffloadFlag.RTE_MBUF_F_TX_TUNNEL_IPIP
True

PacketOffloadFlag.RTE_MBUF_F_TX_TUNNEL_VXLAN | PacketOffloadFlag.RTE_MBUF_F_TX_TUNNEL_GRE is PacketOffloadFlag.RTE_MBUF_F_TX_TUNNEL_IPIP
True

PacketOffloadFlag.RTE_MBUF_F_TX_TUNNEL_VXLAN in PacketOffloadFlag.RTE_MBUF_F_TX_TUNNEL_IPIP
True

The combination of 1 | 2 == 3, even identity returns True and one flag is part of another. If we're looking at verbose_output.ol_flags and checking the RTE_MBUF_F_TX_TUNNEL_VXLAN flag, True would be returned for all flag that have the first bit set:
RTE_MBUF_F_TX_TUNNEL_VXLAN
RTE_MBUF_F_TX_TUNNEL_IPIP
RTE_MBUF_F_TX_TUNNEL_MPLSINUDP
RTE_MBUF_F_TX_TUNNEL_GTP

Do you know how this is handled in DPDK? Or how testpmd processes this to return the proper flag?

This mixing seems pretty wild to me (I guess this is to not waste space, since ULL is max 64 bits). We need to think this through thoroughly.

This is the same thing as above.

So you used hasattr instead of cls[name] in cls. Is this to avoid the exception? I now realize that if we could ignore the exception then we won't need the condition.

The question is when the exception would be raised, or, in other words, what should we do when hasattr(cls, name) is False. If I understand this correctly, is it's False, then name is not among the flags and that means testpmd returned an unsupported flag, which shouldn't happen, but if it does in the future, we would be better off throwing an exception, or at very least, log a warning, so that we have an indication that we need to add support for a new flag.

The RSSOffloadTypesFlag does the split in its from_list_string method. Do we want to do the same here?

Maybe could create a ParsableFlag (or Creatable? Or something else) superclass that would implement these from_* methods (from_list_string, from_str) and subclass it. Flags should be subclassable if they don't contain members.

The superclass would be useful so that we don't redefine the same method over and over and so that it's clear what's already available.
