Subject: [dpdk-dev] [RFC 2/5] ether: add flow action to redirect packet in a switch domain
Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2017 16:34:46 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1513805689-28202-3-git-send-email-qi.z.zhang@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1513805689-28202-1-git-send-email-qi.z.zhang@intel.com>
Add action RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SWITCH_PORT, it can be used to redirect
a packet to a network interface that connect to the same switch domain,
rte_ethdev's port_id is used as an identification of the destination.
A typical use case is: with a smart NIC for vSwitch acceleration, flow
is defined to forward packets between the switch port that is managed by
Port Representor.
