Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 3/4] ethdev: Add group action type to rte_flow
Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2018 14:51:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180405135148.16388-4-declan.doherty@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180405135148.16388-1-declan.doherty@intel.com>
Add group action type which defines a terminating action which
allows a matched flow to be redirect to a group. This allows logical
flow table hierarchies to be managed through rte_flow.
Signed-off-by: Declan Doherty <declan.doherty@intel.com>
