[dpdk-users] testpmd: Flow Director

[Tomasz Czaus]

Hello,

I try to configure FD in testpmd app (PDK_v18.11.0_LTS) to identify
TCP flows (based on destination IPv4 addr and destination TCP port)
and route them to specific queues. I start the testpmd on the
following way:

testpmd \
        -c 0xf \
        -n 3 \
        -- \
        --port-topology=chained \
        --rxq=8 \
        --txq=8 \
        --interactive \
        --forward-mode=rxonly \
        --disable-rss \
        --pkt-filter-mode=perfect

then:

set verbose 5
set fwd rxonly
port stop 0
flow_director_mask 0 mode IP vlan 0x0 src_mask 0.0.0.0
0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 0x0000 dst_mask
255.255.255.255 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 0xFFFF
port start 0
flow_director_filter 0 mode IP add flow ipv4-tcp src 0.0.0.0 0 dst
192.168.10.2 9001 tos 0 ttl 64 vlan 0x0 flexbytes (0x08,0x00) fwd pf

start

on other box (192.168.10.1):
telnet 192.168.10.2 9001

which gives the following messages in testpmd app:

Pkts are routed to queue id 0, instead 1. Any ideas?
