Hi Harry, Thank you for your reply. The reason I was looking for specifically ixgbe_hw because I needed access to ixgbe PF/VF mailbox facility. I am not sure if it is exposed via rte_eth api. Please advise.

The ixgbe_hw struct is part of the implementation, and should not be used by code outside the drivers/net/ixgbe director. The rte_eth_* api[1] is available to access any NIC using a unified API.
