+ Keep Alive Sample Application
+===============================
+The Keep Alive application is a simple example of a heartbeat/watchdog for packet processing cores. It demonstrates how to detect ‘failed’ DPDK cores and notify a fault management entity of this failure. Its purpose is to ensure the failure of the core does not result in a fault that is not detectable by a management entity.
+
+Overview
+=======
+The application demonstrates how to protect against ‘silent outages’ on packet processing cores. A Keep Alive Monitor Agent Core (master) monitors the state of packet processing cores (worker cores) by dispatching pings at a regular time interval (default is 5ms) and monitoring the state of the cores. Cores states are: Alive, MIA, Dead or Buried. MIA indicates a missed ping, and Dead indicates two missed pings within the specified time interval. When a core is Dead, a callback function is invoked to restart the packet processing core; A real life application might use this callback function to notify a higher level fault management entity of the core failure in order to take the appropriate corrective action.
+
+Note: Only the worker cores are monitored. A local (on the host) mechanism or agent to supervise the Keep Alive Monitor Agent Core DPDK core is required to detect its failure.
+
+Note: This application is based on the L2 Forwarding Sample Application (in Real and Virtualized Environments). As such, the initialization and run-time paths are very similar to those of the L2 forwarding application.
+
+Compiling the Application
+=========================
+To compile the application:
+
+Go to the sample application directory:
+
+export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/keep_alive
+Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+See the DPDK Getting Started Guide for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+Build the application:
+
+make
+
+Running the Application
+=======================
+
+The application has a number of command line options::
+
+./build/l2fwd-keepalive [EAL options] -- -p PORTMASK [-q NQ] [-K PERIOD] [-T PERIOD]
+where,
+
+p PORTMASK: A hexadecimal bitmask of the ports to configure
+q NQ: A number of queues (=ports) per lcore (default is 1)
+K PERIOD: Heartbeat check period in ms(5ms default; 86400 max)
+T PERIOD: statistics will be refreshed each PERIOD seconds (0 to disable, 10 default, 86400 maximum).
+To run the application in linuxapp environment with 4 lcores, 16 ports 8 RX queues per lcore and a ping interval of 10ms, issue the command::
+
+    ./build/l2fwd-keepalive -c f -n 4 -- -q 8 -p ffff -K 10
+Refer to the DPDK Getting Started Guide for general information on running applications and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
