[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4] ip_pipeline: add flow actions pipeline

[Thomas Monjalon]

2015-11-18 17:09, Fan Zhang:
> Flow actions pipeline is an extension of flow-classification pipeline.
> Some of the operations of flow classification pipeline such as traffic
> metering/marking(for e.g. Single Rate Three Color Marker (srTCM), Two
> Rate Three Color Marker trTCM)), policer can be performed separately in
> flow action pipeline to avoid excessive computational burden on the CPU
> core running the flow-classification pipeline. The Flow action pipeline
> implements various function such as traffic metering, policer, stats.
> Traffic mettering can configured as per the required context, for
> examples- per user, per traffic class or both. These contexts can be
> applied by specifying parameters in configuration file as shown below;
> 
> [PIPELINE1]
> type = FLOW_ACTIONS
> core = 1
> pktq_in = RXQ0.0 RXQ1.0 RXQ2.0 RXQ3.0
> pktq_out = TXQ0.0 TXQ1.0 TXQ2.0 TXQ3.0
> n_flows = 65536
> n_meters_per_flow = 1
> flow_id_offset = 158
> ip_hdr_offset = 142
> color_offset = 64
> 
> The entries of flow and dscp tables of flow actions pipeline can be
> modified through command-line interface. The commands to add or delete
> entries to the flow table, DSCP(differentiated services code point)
> table and for statistics collection, etc have been included. The key
> functions such as Traffic Metering/marking and policer functions have
> been implemented as flow-table action handler.
