Subject: [dpdk-users] ip_pipeline firewall customization

Hello friends

I am using ip_pipeline firewall as base for our project, need
comments/suggestions/corrections regarding following

1) We can not configure firewall  rule to drop packets, as portid is
mandatory in command. I am planning to allow this for our requirement with
following code changes
      a) Allow "port" as optional parameter (pipeline_firewall.c), pass -1
as port id if "port" is not specified to app_pipeline_firewall_add_rule and
change that parameter to int32_t.
      b) Make required changes in pipeline_firewall_msg_req_add_handler if
portid is -1, that is table entry action to be .action =
RTE_PIPELINE_ACTION_DROP.

2) I am registering a f_action_hit function for firewall table to perform
certain translations if action is pass (RTE_PIPELINE_ACTION_PORT).
Configured a rule like following

pipeline>p 1 firewall add priority 1 ipv4 0.0.0.0 0 0.0.0.0 0 0 65535 0
65535 0 0 port 0

which should be hit only by ipv4 packets. However even ARP packets are hit
by this ACL and my routine is called. If I configure a specific src or dst
ip then everything works fine and arp packets are not hit , for example
following rule hits only ipv4 icmp packets

pipeline>  p 1 firewall add priority 1 ipv4 0.0.0.0 0 45.35.70.12 32 0
65535 0 65535 1 0xf port 0

Is this a bug or am I missing something ?

Best regards
Shyam
