These code snippets demonstrate rule creation using
template and non-template APIs.
They include functions that enable developers to create rules.
The purpose of providing these snippets is to allow developers
to reuse them, thereby saving time and effort during the
implementation of flow rules.
The code snippets are categorized based on their usage and can be copied,
paste and modified to suit any requirements.
The snippets provided here are kept up to date and are being compiled
along with the rest of the examples.
There is a skeleton that demonstrates rule creation
using both template and non template APIs.
Developers can change the functions in the skeleton to the corresponding
snippet functions with the appropriate suffix and create rules using the
snippets themselves for easy testing. Each snippet has the same functions
to implement the actions and patterns for the corresponding feature.

-applications and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
-
-
-Explanation
------------
-
-The example is built from 2 files,
-``main.c`` which holds the example logic and ``flow_blocks.c`` that holds the
-implementation for building the flow rule.
-
-The following sections provide an explanation of the main components of the
-code.
+ ./<build_dir>/examples/dpdk-flow_filtering -n <number of channels> -a <pci_dev>,dv_flow_en=<1|2> -- [--[non-]template]
-All DPDK library functions used in the sample code are prefixed with ``rte_``
-and are explained in detail in the *DPDK API Documentation*.
+where,
+``--[non-]template``: Specify whether to use the template API (default is template API).
+For more details on template API please refer to :ref:`flow_templates`.
-The Main Function
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The ``main()`` function located in ``main.c`` file performs the initialization
-and runs the main loop function.
-
-The first task is to initialize the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL). The
-``argc`` and ``argv`` arguments are provided to the ``rte_eal_init()``
-function. The value returned is the number of parsed arguments:
-
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Initialize EAL. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of Initialization of EAL.
- :dedent: 1
-
-
-The ``main()`` also allocates a mempool to hold the mbufs (Message Buffers)
-used by the application:
-
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Allocates a mempool to hold the mbufs. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of allocating a mempool to hold the mbufs.
- :dedent: 1
-
-Mbufs are the packet buffer structure used by DPDK. They are explained in
-detail in the "Mbuf Library" section of the *DPDK Programmer's Guide*.
-
-The ``main()`` function also initializes all the ports using the user defined
-``init_port()`` function which is explained in the next section:
-
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Initializes all the ports using the user defined init_port(). 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of Initializing the ports using user defined init_port().
- :dedent: 1
-
-Once the initialization is complete, we set the flow rule using the
-following code:
-
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Create flow for send packet with. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of creating flow for send packet with.
- :dedent: 1
+Refer to *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running
+applications and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
-In the last part the application is ready to launch the
-``main_loop()`` function. Which is explained below.
+Structure
+---------
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Launching main_loop(). 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of launching main_loop().
- :dedent: 1
+The example is built from 2 main files:
-The Port Initialization Function
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+- ``main.c``: Contains the application logic, including initializations and the main loop.
+- ``flow_skeleton.c``: Implements the creation of flow rules.
-The main functional part of the port initialization used in the flow filtering
-application is shown below:
+Additionally, the ``snippets`` directory includes code snippets showcasing various features
+that can override the basic ``flow_skeleton.c`` implementation.
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Port initialization used in flow filtering. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of Port initialization used in flow filtering.
-The Ethernet port is configured with default settings using the
-``rte_eth_dev_configure()`` function and the ``port_conf_default`` struct:
+Application Flow

-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Ethernet port configured with default settings. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of ethernet port configured with default settings.
- :dedent: 1
+Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-For this example we are configuring number of rx and tx queues that are connected
-to a single port.
+Begin by setting up the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) using ``rte_eal_init()``.
+This function initializes EAL with arguments ``argc`` and ``argv``,
+returning the number of parsed arguments:
.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c

- :start-after: Configuring number of RX and TX queues connected to single port. 8<

- :dedent: 1
+ :language: c
+ :start-after: Initialize EAL. 8<
+ :end-before: >8 End of Initialization of EAL.
+ :dedent: 1
-In the next step we create and apply the flow rule. which is to send packets
-with destination ip equals to 192.168.1.1 to queue number 1. The detail
-explanation of the ``generate_ipv4_flow()`` appears later in this document:
+Allocate a memory pool for managing mbufs (Message Buffers) used within the application:
.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c

+ :language: c
+ :start-after: Allocates a mempool to hold the mbufs. 8<
+ :end-before: >8 End of allocating a mempool to hold the mbufs.
+ :dedent: 1
-We are setting the RX port to promiscuous mode:
+Initialize the ports using the user-defined ``init_port()`` function,
+configuring Ethernet ports with default settings, including both RX and TX queues for a single port:
.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c

+ :start-after: Initializes all the ports using the user defined init_port(). 8<
+ :end-before: >8 End of Initializing the ports using user defined init_port().
+ :dedent: 1
-The last step is to start the port.
+For template API, the flow API requires preallocating resources.
+The function ``rte_flow_configure()`` should be called after configuring the Ethernet device
+and before creating any flow rules to set up flow queues for asynchronous operations.
.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c

-The main_loop function
+Creating the Flow Rule
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-As we saw above the ``main()`` function calls an application function to handle
-the main loop. For the flow filtering application the main_loop function
-looks like the following:
-
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Main_loop for flow filtering. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of reading the packets from all queues.
+This section is the core of the flow filtering functionality involves creating flow rules.
+The flow rules are created using two primary approaches: template API and non-template API.
+Both template and non-template API configure flow rules using attributes (like ingress or egress),
+pattern items (for matching packet data), and actions (for operations on matched packets).
+However, template API extend this by introducing pattern templates and actions templates,
+which define reusable matching criteria and action lists, respectively.
+These templates are then combined in a template table to optimize resource allocation and management.
+In contrast, non-template API handle each rule individually without such shared templates.
-The main work of the application is reading the packets from all
-queues and printing for each packet the destination queue:
+This is handled by the ``generate_flow_skeleton()`` function in ``flow_skeleton.c``.
.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Reading the packets from all queues. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of main_loop for flow filtering.
+ :language: c
+ :start-after: Function responsible for creating the flow rule. 8<
+ :end-before: >8 End of function responsible for creating the flow rule.
+ :dedent: 1
+This part of the code defines necessary data structures,
+as well as configures action and pattern structures for the rule.
+Common for both template and non-template API.
-The forwarding loop can be interrupted and the application closed using
-``Ctrl-C``. Which results in closing the port and the device using
-``rte_eth_dev_stop`` and ``rte_eth_dev_close``
+.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_skeleton.c
+ :language: c
+ :start-after: Set the common action and pattern structures 8<
+ :end-before: >8 End of setting the common action and pattern structures.
+ :dedent: 1
-The generate_ipv4_flow function
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+For template API, this part of the code creates the necessary template tables and finally create the rule.
-The generate_ipv4_flow function is responsible for creating the flow rule.
-This function is located in the ``flow_blocks.c`` file.
+.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_skeleton.c
+ :language: c
+ :start-after: Create a flow rule using template API 8<
+ :end-before: >8 End of creating a flow rule using template API.
+ :dedent: 1
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Function responsible for creating the flow rule. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of function responsible for creating the flow rule.
+For non-template API, validate the rule and create it.
-The first part of the function is declaring the structures that will be used.
+.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_skeleton.c
+ :language: c
+ :start-after: Validate and create the rule 8<
+ :end-before: >8 End of validating and creating the rule.
+ :dedent: 1
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Declaring structs being used. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of declaring structs being used.
- :dedent: 1
+Main Loop Execution
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-The following part create the flow attributes, in our case ingress.
+Launch the ``main_loop()`` function from ``main.c``,
+which reading the packets from all queues and printing for each packet the destination queue:
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Set the rule attribute, only ingress packets will be checked. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of setting the rule attribute.
- :dedent: 1
+.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c
+ :language: c
+ :start-after: Launching main_loop(). 8<
+ :end-before: >8 End of launching main_loop().
+ :dedent: 1
-The third part defines the action to be taken when a packet matches
-the rule. In this case send the packet to queue.
+Exiting the Application
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Function responsible for creating the flow rule. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of setting the rule attribute.
+To terminate the application, use ``Ctrl-C``.
+This action closes the port and device using ``rte_eth_dev_stop`` and ``rte_eth_dev_close``.
-The fourth part is responsible for creating the pattern and is built from
-number of steps. In each step we build one level of the pattern starting with
-the lowest one.
-Setting the first level of the pattern ETH:
+Flow API Snippets
+------------------
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Set this level to allow all. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of setting the first level of the pattern.
- :dedent: 1
+The ``snippets`` directory offers additional customization options through code snippets.
+These snippets cover various aspects of flow configuration, allowing developers to reuse them.
-Setting the second level of the pattern IP:
+These snippets are categorized by usage and can be copied, pasted, and modified as needed.
+They are maintained and compiled alongside other examples, ensuring up-to-date functionality.
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Setting the second level of the pattern. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of setting the second level of the pattern.
- :dedent: 1
-Closing the pattern part.
+Using Snippets
+--------------
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: The final level must be always type end. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of final level must be always type end.
- :dedent: 1
+Developers can customize flow rules by modifying ``flow_skeleton.c`` and utilizing functions from ``snippets`` directory.
+For example, within ``snippet_match_ipv4_flow.c``, developers can find the functions:
-The last part of the function is to validate the rule and create it.
+- ``snippet_ipv4_flow_create_actions()`` for defining actions,
+- ``snippet_ipv4_flow_create_patterns()`` for setting packet matching patterns,
+- ``snippet_ipv4_flow_create_table()`` for creating the patterns and actions template table.
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Validate the rule and create it. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of validation the rule and create it.
- :dedent: 1
+These function can simply be called in the appropriate place in ``flow_skeleton.c`` to change the default created flow.

These code snippets demonstrate rule creation using
template and non-template APIs.
They include functions that enable developers to create rules.
The purpose of providing these snippets is to allow developers
to reuse them, thereby saving time and effort during the
implementation of flow rules.
The code snippets are categorized based on their usage and can be copied,
paste and modified to suit any requirements.
The snippets provided here are kept up to date and are being compiled
along with the rest of the examples.
There is a skeleton that demonstrates rule creation
using both template and non template APIs.
Developers can change the functions in the skeleton to the corresponding
snippet functions with the appropriate suffix and create rules using the
snippets themselves for easy testing. Each snippet has the same functions
to implement the actions and patterns for the corresponding feature.

-applications and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
-
-
-Explanation
------------
-
-The example is built from 2 files,
-``main.c`` which holds the example logic and ``flow_blocks.c`` that holds the
-implementation for building the flow rule.
-
-The following sections provide an explanation of the main components of the
-code.
+ ./<build_dir>/examples/dpdk-flow_filtering -n <number of channels> -a <pci_dev>,dv_flow_en=<1|2> -- [--[non-]template]
-All DPDK library functions used in the sample code are prefixed with ``rte_``
-and are explained in detail in the *DPDK API Documentation*.
+where,
+``--[non-]template``: Specify whether to use the template API (default is template API).
+For more details on template API please refer to :ref:`flow_templates`.
-The Main Function
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The ``main()`` function located in ``main.c`` file performs the initialization
-and runs the main loop function.
-
-The first task is to initialize the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL). The
-``argc`` and ``argv`` arguments are provided to the ``rte_eal_init()``
-function. The value returned is the number of parsed arguments:
-
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Initialize EAL. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of Initialization of EAL.
- :dedent: 1
-
-
-The ``main()`` also allocates a mempool to hold the mbufs (Message Buffers)
-used by the application:
-
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Allocates a mempool to hold the mbufs. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of allocating a mempool to hold the mbufs.
- :dedent: 1
-
-Mbufs are the packet buffer structure used by DPDK. They are explained in
-detail in the "Mbuf Library" section of the *DPDK Programmer's Guide*.
-
-The ``main()`` function also initializes all the ports using the user defined
-``init_port()`` function which is explained in the next section:
-
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Initializes all the ports using the user defined init_port(). 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of Initializing the ports using user defined init_port().
- :dedent: 1
-
-Once the initialization is complete, we set the flow rule using the
-following code:
-
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Create flow for send packet with. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of creating flow for send packet with.
- :dedent: 1
+Refer to *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running
+applications and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
-In the last part the application is ready to launch the
-``main_loop()`` function. Which is explained below.

+The example is built from 2 main files:
-The Port Initialization Function
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+- ``main.c``: Contains the application logic, including initializations and the main loop.
+- ``flow_skeleton.c``: Implements the creation of flow rules.
-The main functional part of the port initialization used in the flow filtering
-application is shown below:
+Additionally, the ``snippets`` directory includes code snippets showcasing various features
+that can override the basic ``flow_skeleton.c`` implementation.

+Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-For this example we are configuring number of rx and tx queues that are connected
-to a single port.
+Begin by setting up the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) using ``rte_eal_init()``.
+This function initializes EAL with arguments ``argc`` and ``argv``,

-In the next step we create and apply the flow rule. which is to send packets
-with destination ip equals to 192.168.1.1 to queue number 1. The detail
-explanation of the ``generate_ipv4_flow()`` appears later in this document:

-The last step is to start the port.
+For template API, the flow API requires preallocating resources.
+The function ``rte_flow_configure()`` should be called after configuring the Ethernet device
+and before creating any flow rules to set up flow queues for asynchronous operations.

-The main_loop function
+Creating the Flow Rule
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-As we saw above the ``main()`` function calls an application function to handle
-the main loop. For the flow filtering application the main_loop function
-looks like the following:
-
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Main_loop for flow filtering. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of reading the packets from all queues.
+This section is the core of the flow filtering functionality involves creating flow rules.
+The flow rules are created using two primary approaches: template API and non-template API.
+Both template and non-template API configure flow rules using attributes (like ingress or egress),
+pattern items (for matching packet data), and actions (for operations on matched packets).
+However, template API extend this by introducing pattern templates and actions templates,
+which define reusable matching criteria and action lists, respectively.
+These templates are then combined in a template table to optimize resource allocation and management.
+In contrast, non-template API handle each rule individually without such shared templates.
-The main work of the application is reading the packets from all
-queues and printing for each packet the destination queue:
+This is handled by the ``generate_flow_skeleton()`` function in ``flow_skeleton.c``.
.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Reading the packets from all queues. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of main_loop for flow filtering.
+ :language: c
+ :start-after: Function responsible for creating the flow rule. 8<
+ :end-before: >8 End of function responsible for creating the flow rule.
+ :dedent: 1
+This part of the code defines necessary data structures,
+as well as configures action and pattern structures for the rule.
+Common for both template and non-template API.
-The forwarding loop can be interrupted and the application closed using
-``Ctrl-C``. Which results in closing the port and the device using
-``rte_eth_dev_stop`` and ``rte_eth_dev_close``
+.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_skeleton.c
+ :language: c
+ :start-after: Set the common action and pattern structures 8<
+ :end-before: >8 End of setting the common action and pattern structures.
+ :dedent: 1
-The generate_ipv4_flow function
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+For template API, this part of the code creates the necessary template tables and finally create the rule.
-The generate_ipv4_flow function is responsible for creating the flow rule.
-This function is located in the ``flow_blocks.c`` file.
+.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_skeleton.c
+ :language: c
+ :start-after: Create a flow rule using template API 8<
+ :end-before: >8 End of creating a flow rule using template API.
+ :dedent: 1
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Function responsible for creating the flow rule. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of function responsible for creating the flow rule.
+For non-template API, validate the rule and create it.
-The first part of the function is declaring the structures that will be used.
+.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_skeleton.c
+ :language: c
+ :start-after: Validate and create the rule 8<
+ :end-before: >8 End of validating and creating the rule.
+ :dedent: 1
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Declaring structs being used. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of declaring structs being used.
- :dedent: 1
+Main Loop Execution
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-The following part create the flow attributes, in our case ingress.
+Launch the ``main_loop()`` function from ``main.c``,
+which reading the packets from all queues and printing for each packet the destination queue:
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Set the rule attribute, only ingress packets will be checked. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of setting the rule attribute.
- :dedent: 1
+.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c
+ :language: c
+ :start-after: Launching main_loop(). 8<
+ :end-before: >8 End of launching main_loop().
+ :dedent: 1
-The third part defines the action to be taken when a packet matches
-the rule. In this case send the packet to queue.
+Exiting the Application
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Function responsible for creating the flow rule. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of setting the rule attribute.
+To terminate the application, use ``Ctrl-C``.
+This action closes the port and device using ``rte_eth_dev_stop`` and ``rte_eth_dev_close``.
-The fourth part is responsible for creating the pattern and is built from
-number of steps. In each step we build one level of the pattern starting with
-the lowest one.
-Setting the first level of the pattern ETH:
+Flow API Snippets
+------------------
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Set this level to allow all. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of setting the first level of the pattern.
- :dedent: 1
+The ``snippets`` directory offers additional customization options through code snippets.
+These snippets cover various aspects of flow configuration, allowing developers to reuse them.
-Setting the second level of the pattern IP:
+These snippets are categorized by usage and can be copied, pasted, and modified as needed.
+They are maintained and compiled alongside other examples, ensuring up-to-date functionality.
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Setting the second level of the pattern. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of setting the second level of the pattern.
- :dedent: 1
-Closing the pattern part.
+Using Snippets
+--------------
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: The final level must be always type end. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of final level must be always type end.
- :dedent: 1
+Developers can customize flow rules by modifying ``flow_skeleton.c`` and utilizing functions from ``snippets`` directory.
+For example, within ``snippet_match_ipv4_flow.c``, developers can find the functions:
-The last part of the function is to validate the rule and create it.
+- ``snippet_ipv4_flow_create_actions()`` for defining actions,
+- ``snippet_ipv4_flow_create_patterns()`` for setting packet matching patterns,
+- ``snippet_ipv4_flow_create_table()`` for creating the patterns and actions template table.
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Validate the rule and create it. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of validation the rule and create it.
- :dedent: 1
+These function can simply be called in the appropriate place in ``flow_skeleton.c`` to change the default created flow.

These code snippets demonstrate rule creation using
template and non-template APIs.
They include functions that enable developers to create rules.
The purpose of providing these snippets is to allow developers
to reuse them, thereby saving time and effort during the
implementation of flow rules.
The code snippets are categorized based on their usage and can be copied,
paste and modified to suit any requirements.
The snippets provided here are kept up to date and are being compiled
along with the rest of the examples.
There is a skeleton that demonstrates rule creation
using both template and non template APIs.
Developers can change the functions in the skeleton to the corresponding
snippet functions with the appropriate suffix and create rules using the
snippets themselves for easy testing. Each snippet has the same functions
to implement the actions and patterns for the corresponding feature.

+The flow filtering sample application provides a simple example of creating flow rules.
-It is intended as a demonstration of the basic components RTE flow rules.
+It serves as a demonstration of the fundamental components of flow rules.
+
+It demonstrates how to create rules and configure them, using both template and non template API.

To compile the sample application see :doc:`compiling`.
+The application is located in the ``flow_filtering`` sub-directory.
+
Running the Application
-----------------------
@@ -23,231 +26,155 @@ To run the example in a ``linux`` environment:
.. code-block:: console
- ./<build_dir>/examples/dpdk-flow_filtering -l 1 -n 1
-
-Refer to *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running
-applications and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
-
-
-Explanation
------------
-
-The example is built from 2 files,
-``main.c`` which holds the example logic and ``flow_blocks.c`` that holds the
-implementation for building the flow rule.
-
-The following sections provide an explanation of the main components of the
-code.
+ ./<build_dir>/examples/dpdk-flow_filtering -n <number of channels> -a <pci_dev>,dv_flow_en=<1|2> -- [--[non-]template]
-All DPDK library functions used in the sample code are prefixed with ``rte_``
-and are explained in detail in the *DPDK API Documentation*.
+where,
+``--[non-]template``: Specify whether to use the template API (default is template API).
+For more details on template API please refer to :ref:`flow_templates`.
-The Main Function
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The ``main()`` function located in ``main.c`` file performs the initialization
-and runs the main loop function.
-
-The first task is to initialize the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL). The
-``argc`` and ``argv`` arguments are provided to the ``rte_eal_init()``
-function. The value returned is the number of parsed arguments:
-
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Initialize EAL. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of Initialization of EAL.
- :dedent: 1
-
-
-The ``main()`` also allocates a mempool to hold the mbufs (Message Buffers)
-used by the application:
-
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Allocates a mempool to hold the mbufs. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of allocating a mempool to hold the mbufs.
- :dedent: 1
-
-Mbufs are the packet buffer structure used by DPDK. They are explained in
-detail in the "Mbuf Library" section of the *DPDK Programmer's Guide*.
-
-The ``main()`` function also initializes all the ports using the user defined
-``init_port()`` function which is explained in the next section:
-
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Initializes all the ports using the user defined init_port(). 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of Initializing the ports using user defined init_port().
- :dedent: 1
-
-Once the initialization is complete, we set the flow rule using the
-following code:
-
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Create flow for send packet with. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of creating flow for send packet with.
- :dedent: 1
+Refer to *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running
+applications and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
-In the last part the application is ready to launch the
-``main_loop()`` function. Which is explained below.

- :start-after: Launching main_loop(). 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of launching main_loop().

+The example is built from 2 main files:
-The Port Initialization Function
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+- ``main.c``: Contains the application logic, including initializations and the main loop.
+- ``flow_skeleton.c``: Implements the creation of flow rules.
-The main functional part of the port initialization used in the flow filtering
-application is shown below:
+Additionally, the ``snippets`` directory includes code snippets showcasing various features
+that can override the basic ``flow_skeleton.c`` implementation.

-In the next step we create and apply the flow rule. which is to send packets
-with destination ip equals to 192.168.1.1 to queue number 1. The detail

-The main_loop function
+Creating the Flow Rule
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-As we saw above the ``main()`` function calls an application function to handle
-the main loop. For the flow filtering application the main_loop function
-looks like the following:
-
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Main_loop for flow filtering. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of reading the packets from all queues.
+This section is the core of the flow filtering functionality involves creating flow rules.
+The flow rules are created using two primary approaches: template API and non-template API.
+Both template and non-template API configure flow rules using attributes (like ingress or egress),
+pattern items (for matching packet data), and actions (for operations on matched packets).
+However, template API extend this by introducing pattern templates and actions templates,
+which define reusable matching criteria and action lists, respectively.
+These templates are then combined in a template table to optimize resource allocation and management.
+In contrast, non-template API handle each rule individually without such shared templates.
-The main work of the application is reading the packets from all
-queues and printing for each packet the destination queue:
+This is handled by the ``generate_flow_skeleton()`` function in ``flow_skeleton.c``.
.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Reading the packets from all queues. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of main_loop for flow filtering.
+ :language: c
+ :start-after: Function responsible for creating the flow rule. 8<
+ :end-before: >8 End of function responsible for creating the flow rule.
+ :dedent: 1
+This part of the code defines necessary data structures,
+as well as configures action and pattern structures for the rule.
+Common for both template and non-template API.
-The forwarding loop can be interrupted and the application closed using
-``Ctrl-C``. Which results in closing the port and the device using
-``rte_eth_dev_stop`` and ``rte_eth_dev_close``
+.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_skeleton.c
+ :language: c
+ :start-after: Set the common action and pattern structures 8<
+ :end-before: >8 End of setting the common action and pattern structures.
+ :dedent: 1
-The generate_ipv4_flow function
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+For template API, this part of the code creates the necessary template tables and finally create the rule.
-The generate_ipv4_flow function is responsible for creating the flow rule.
-This function is located in the ``flow_blocks.c`` file.
+.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_skeleton.c
+ :language: c
+ :start-after: Create a flow rule using template API 8<
+ :end-before: >8 End of creating a flow rule using template API.
+ :dedent: 1
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Function responsible for creating the flow rule. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of function responsible for creating the flow rule.
+For non-template API, validate the rule and create it.
-The first part of the function is declaring the structures that will be used.
+.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_skeleton.c
+ :language: c
+ :start-after: Validate and create the rule 8<
+ :end-before: >8 End of validating and creating the rule.
+ :dedent: 1
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Declaring structs being used. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of declaring structs being used.
- :dedent: 1
+Main Loop Execution
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-The following part create the flow attributes, in our case ingress.
+Launch the ``main_loop()`` function from ``main.c``,
+which reading the packets from all queues and printing for each packet the destination queue:
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Set the rule attribute, only ingress packets will be checked. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of setting the rule attribute.
- :dedent: 1
+.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/main.c
+ :language: c
+ :start-after: Launching main_loop(). 8<
+ :end-before: >8 End of launching main_loop().
+ :dedent: 1
-The third part defines the action to be taken when a packet matches
-the rule. In this case send the packet to queue.
+Exiting the Application
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Function responsible for creating the flow rule. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of setting the rule attribute.
+To terminate the application, use ``Ctrl-C``.
+This action closes the port and device using ``rte_eth_dev_stop`` and ``rte_eth_dev_close``.
-The fourth part is responsible for creating the pattern and is built from
-number of steps. In each step we build one level of the pattern starting with
-the lowest one.
-Setting the first level of the pattern ETH:
+Flow API Snippets
+------------------
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Set this level to allow all. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of setting the first level of the pattern.
- :dedent: 1
+The ``snippets`` directory offers additional customization options through code snippets.
+These snippets cover various aspects of flow configuration, allowing developers to reuse them.
-Setting the second level of the pattern IP:
+These snippets are categorized by usage and can be copied, pasted, and modified as needed.
+They are maintained and compiled alongside other examples, ensuring up-to-date functionality.
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Setting the second level of the pattern. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of setting the second level of the pattern.
- :dedent: 1
-Closing the pattern part.
+Using Snippets
+--------------
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: The final level must be always type end. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of final level must be always type end.
- :dedent: 1
+Developers can customize flow rules by modifying ``flow_skeleton.c`` and utilizing functions from ``snippets`` directory.
+For example, within ``snippet_match_ipv4_flow.c``, developers can find the functions:
-The last part of the function is to validate the rule and create it.
+- ``snippet_ipv4_flow_create_actions()`` for defining actions,
+- ``snippet_ipv4_flow_create_patterns()`` for setting packet matching patterns,
+- ``snippet_ipv4_flow_create_table()`` for creating the patterns and actions template table.
-.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c
- :language: c
- :start-after: Validate the rule and create it. 8<
- :end-before: >8 End of validation the rule and create it.
- :dedent: 1
+These function can simply be called in the appropriate place in ``flow_skeleton.c`` to change the default created flow.
