Subject: mlx5: is GTP encapsulation possible using the rte_flow api?
Date: Wed, 8 May 2024 15:23:50 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ZjuY+KquiSHG0bjo@elx-5cg22853xc> (raw)
Hi All,
I wonder whether it would be possible to implement HW accelerated GTP
encapsulation (as a first step) functionality using a Bluefield 2 NIC
and the rte_flow API?
The encapsulation would need to work between different ports using
hairpin queues.
Let's say I already have the rules in dpdk-testpmd that remove the
original ETH header using raw_decap, and add the new ETH/IP/UDP/GTP
using raw_encap.
Now I would need to update some header fields (payload length for
ipv4, udp, gtp). I would use "modify_field op add", but I found no way
I can access the payload length field for UDP and GTP.
For example, when I try to access the UDP payload length field by using
"dst_type udp_port_src dst_offset 32" in the "modify_field" action,
I get a "destination offset is too big: Invalid argument" error.
This seems to be caused by a check in the mlx5 driver, which is a bit
surprising as the documentation in rte_flow.rst (DPDK version 24.03)
says that:
``offset`` allows going past the specified packet field boundary to
copy a field to an arbitrary place in a packet,
Is this just a driver limitation or an HW limitation? Or could a flex
item solve this?
Thanks, Laszlo
