[dpdk-dev] Query on the use of FDIR feature

[Sujith Sankar (ssujith)]

Hi,

Could someone kindly give information about the following aspects of the use of FDIR?  It is about adding of flow classification rule using fdir_add_perfect_filter()

1.  For SCTP, what are the mandatory fields to be provided in struct rte_fdir_filter ?  Is it enough if protocol  and src and dst IP addresses are provided?
2.  If vlan id is specified in struct rte_fdir_filter,  what other fields are mandatory?
3.  In the case of IPV6, is it enough if protocol, src and dst IPV6 addresses and src and dst L4 port numbers are provided?
4.  Is it mandatory that the applications have to provide protocol, src and dst IPV4 addresses and port numbers when it is trying to add filter for IPV4?

The programmers guide does not clarify these, and hence the email to the group.

Thanks in advance,
