[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v10 0/4] flow classification library

[Thomas Monjalon]

23/10/2017 17:16, Bernard Iremonger:
> The initial implementation is to provide counting of IPv4 five tuple packets for UDP, TCP and SCTP,
> but the library is planned to be as generic as possible.
> 
> The flow information provided by this library is missing to implement full IPFIX features,
> but this is planned to be the initial step.
> 
> Flows are defined using rte_flow, also measurements (actions) are provided by rte_flow.
> To support more IPFIX measurements, the implementation may require extending rte_flow in addition to
> extending this library.
> 
> The library uses both flows and actions defined by rte_flow.h so this library has a dependency on
> rte_flow.h
> 
> This patch set also contains a set of unit tests for the Flow Classify library, patch(4) and
> a patch(3) containing additional functions added to the packet burst generator code.
> 
> For further steps, this library may be expanded to benefit from hardware filters for better performance.
> 
> It will be more beneficial to shape this library to cover more use cases,
> please feel free to comment on possible other use cases and desired functionalities.

I had some feedbacks that this library won't be ready for 17.11.
So I did not review it.

I suppose you are OK to wait one more release and call for more reviewers?
