In order to ease developers in to using this feature
it was suggested to supply a simple howto doc.

+Generic flow API - examples
+===========================
+
+This document function is to supply some concrete examples for programming
+flow rules.
+
+* Detail API can be found in the following link: :ref:`Generic flow API <Generic_flow_API>` .
+
+* Detail TestPMD command to set the flow rules can be found in the
+  following link: :ref:`TestPMD Flow rules <testpmd_rte_flow>`

Hi Ori,

Thanks for useful and very doc. It is good to see additions to the How-to guides.
We should have more of those.

Some minor comments below.

> + 192.168.3.2 / end actions drop / end


The testpmd commands are very long and run off the page in the 
PDF and Html docs.

Something like the following would be better and just as clear:


In this example we will create a simple rule that drops packets whose IPv4
destination equals 192.168.3.2. This code is equivalent to the following
testpmd command (wrapped for clarity)::

  tpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan /
                    ipv4 dst is 192.168.3.2 / end actions drop / end

There is a typo here and in the other scapy commands. It should be:

    count=1

Also <some interface> would be better as a string. And the line is also long
so something like this would be better:

Terminal 2: running  scapy::

  $scapy
  welcome to Scapy
  >> sendp(Ether()/Dot1Q()/IP(src='176.80.50.4', dst='192.168.3.1'), \
           iface='some interface', count=1)
  >> sendp(Ether()/Dot1Q()/IP(src='176.80.50.5', dst='192.168.3.2'), \
           iface='some interface', count=1)

I have some other small comments/suggestions that I will send to you offline.

Thanks,

John

As the rte flow is a new complex module in the DPDK.
In order to ease developers in to using this feature
it was suggested to supply a simple howto doc.

+Generic flow API - examples
+===========================
+
+This document demonstrates some concrete examples for programming flow rules
+with the ``rte_flow`` APIs.
+
+* Detail of the rte_flow APIs can be found in the following link:
+  :ref:`Generic flow API <Generic_flow_API>` .
+
+* Details of the TestPMD commands to set the flow rules can be found in the
+  following link: :ref:`TestPMD Flow rules <testpmd_rte_flow>`
+
+Simple IPv4 drop
+----------------
+
+Description
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In this example we will create a simple rule that drops packets whose IPv4
+destination equals 192.168.3.2. This code is equivalent to the following
+testpmd command (wrapped for clarity)::
+
+  tpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan /
+                    ipv4 dst is 192.168.3.2 / end actions drop / end
+
+Code

+Description
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In this example we will create a simple rule that drops packets whose IPv4

I have a doubt.

Howtos are targetting user experience.
However this patch is showing how to use an API, so it should
probably be inserted in the programmers guide.
Am I missing something?

I think this qualifies more as a how-to then a section for the programmer's guide.

I like the way it compares the testpmd syntax and the equivalent C code.
