Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] [RFC] testpmd: support user-id attribute
Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2023 20:58:35 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e1d8fae4-53ad-7fb1-6a6a-464d360fa76d@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2087714.otsE0voPBg@thomas>
As per RFC, I guess possible testpmd implementation will have a mapping between
user-id(new) <=> rule-id (old/testpmd)
And this mapping will be maintained in testpmd code.
Please check, if that is how it is planned?
Another option I feel that this mapping done outside, by intermediate script
OVS_log (with user id) => script => testpmd flow commands
Any other options/comments are welcome.
Thanks
Aman
