Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/4] ether: add flow action to redirect packet to a port
Date: Sun, 1 Apr 2018 17:19:19 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1522617562-25940-2-git-send-email-qi.z.zhang@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1522617562-25940-1-git-send-email-qi.z.zhang@intel.com>
Add action RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_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.
