+ This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
+ This is the default mode.
+
+* ``mac``: Changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
+ Default application behaviour is to set source Ethernet address to that of the transmitting interface, and destination
+ address to a dummy value (set during init). The user may specify a target destination Ethernet address via the 'eth-peer' or
+ 'eth-peer-configfile' command-line options. It is not currently possible to specify a specific source Ethernet address.
+
+* ``macswap``: MAC swap forwarding mode.
+ Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.

+
+* ``rxonly``: Receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
+
+* ``txonly``: Generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
+
+* ``csum``: Changes the checksum field with hardware or software methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
+
+* ``icmpecho``: Receives a burst of packets, lookup for IMCP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
+
+* ``ieee1588``: Demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX. Requires ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IEEE1588=y``.
+
+* ``tm``: Traffic Management forwarding mode
+ Demonstrates the use of ethdev traffic management APIs and softnic PMD for
+ QoS traffic management. In this mode, 5-level hierarchical QoS scheduler is
+ available as an default option that can be enabled through CLI. The user can
+ also modify the default hierarchy or specify the new hierarchy through CLI for
+ implementing QoS scheduler. Requires ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_SOFTNIC=y`` ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_SCHED=y``.

-* csum: changes the checksum field with HW or SW methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
+If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
+header is handled as a packet payload).
-* icmpecho: receives a burst of packets, lookup for IMCP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
+.. note::
+ The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
Example:
-.. code-block:: console
+Consider a packet in packet like the following::
- testpmd> set fwd rxonly
+ eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in

+Port Functions
+--------------
+
+The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
+
+port attach
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
+
+ testpmd> port attach (identifier)
+
+To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
+Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
+Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
+
+For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ # Check the status of the available devices.
+ ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
+
+ Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
+ ============================================
+ <none>
+
+ Network devices using kernel driver
+ ===================================
+ 0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
+
+
+ # Bind the device to igb_uio.
+ sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
+
+
+ # Recheck the status of the devices.
+ ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
+ Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
+ ============================================
+ 0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
+
+To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
+
+For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
+ Attaching a new port...
+ EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
+ EAL: probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
+ EAL: PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
+ EAL: PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
+ PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
+ PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
+ Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
+ Done
+
+For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
+ Attaching a new port...
+ PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
+ PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
+ Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
+ Done
+
+In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
+This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
+
+For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
+the mode and slave parameters must be given.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
+ Attaching a new port...
+ EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
+ EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
+ Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
+ Done
+
+
+port detach
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Detach a specific port::
+
+ testpmd> port detach (port_id)
+
+Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
+
+For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ testpmd> port stop 0
+ Stopping ports...
+ Done
+ testpmd> port close 0
+ Closing ports...
+ Done
+
+ testpmd> port detach 0
+ Detaching a port...
+ EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
+ EAL: remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
+ EAL: PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
+ EAL: PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
+ Done
+
+
+For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ testpmd> port stop 0
+ Stopping ports...
+ Done
+ testpmd> port close 0
+ Closing ports...
+ Done
+
+ testpmd> port detach 0
+ Detaching a port...
+ PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
+ Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
+ Done
+
+To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
+Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
+Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
+
+For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
+
+ ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
+
+ Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver

+ Network devices using kernel driver
+ ===================================
+ 0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=igb_uio

+ The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
+ The masked fields are for IP flow.
-port config - RX Checksum
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+* Signature filters.
+ The hardware checks a match between a hash-based signature of the masked fields of the received packet.
-Set hardware RX checksum offload to on or off for all ports:
+* Perfect-mac-vlan match filters.
+ The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
+ The masked fields are for MAC VLAN flow.
-port config all rx-cksum (on|off)
+* Perfect-tunnel match filters.
+ The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
+ The masked fields are for tunnel flow.
-Checksum offload is off by default.
+The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet: flow type, specific input set
+per flow type and the flexible payload.
-The on option is equivalent to the --enable-rx-cksum command-line option.
+The Flow Director can also mask out parts of all of these fields so that filters
+are only applied to certain fields or parts of the fields.
-port config - VLAN
+Different NICs may have different capabilities, command show port fdir (port_id) can be used to acquire the information.

+Configure flexible payload selection::
-port config all drop-en (on|off)
+ flow_director_flex_payload (port_id) (raw|l2|l3|l4) (config)
-Packet dropping for packets with no descriptors is off by default.
+For example, to select the first 16 bytes from the offset 4 (bytes) of packet's payload as flexible payload::
-The on option is equivalent to the --enable-drop-en command-line option.
+ testpmd> flow_director_flex_payload 0 l4 \

-Set thresholds for TX/RX queues:
+ set_hash_input_set (port_id) (ipv4-frag|ipv4-tcp|ipv4-udp|ipv4-sctp| \
+ ipv4-other|ipv6-frag|ipv6-tcp|ipv6-udp|ipv6-sctp|ipv6-other| \

+ fld-8th|none) (select|add)
-port config all (threshold) (value)
+For example, to add source IP to hash input set for flow type of ipv4-udp on port 0::
-Where the threshold type can be:
+ testpmd> set_hash_input_set 0 ipv4-udp src-ipv4 add
-* txpt: Set the prefetch threshold register of the TX rings, 0 <= value <= 255.
+set_fdir_input_set
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* txht: Set the host threshold register of the TX rings, 0 <= value <= 255.
+The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet, i.e. specific input set
+on per flow type and the flexible payload. This command can be used to change input set for each flow type.
-* txwt: Set the write-back threshold register of the TX rings, 0 <= value <= 255.
+Set the input set for flow director::
-* rxpt: Set the prefetch threshold register of the RX rings, 0 <= value <= 255.

-Link Bonding Functions
-----------------------
+For example to set GRE key length for input set to 4 bytes on port 0::
-The Link Bonding functions make it possible to dynamically create and
-manage link bonding devices from within testpmd interactive prompt.
+ testpmd> global_config 0 gre-key-len 4
-create bonded device
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Create a new bonding device:
+.. _testpmd_rte_flow:
-create bonded device (mode) (socket)
+Flow rules management
+---------------------
-For example, to create a bonded device in mode 1 on socket 0.
+Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
+``flow`` command (validation, creation, destruction, queries and operation
+modes).
-.. code-block:: console
+Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
+features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
+not recommended.
- testpmd> create bonded 1 0
- created new bonded device (port X)
+``flow`` syntax
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-add bonding slave
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
+of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
+other commands, in particular:
-Adds Ethernet device to a Link Bonding device:
+- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
+ token, not that of the entire command.
-add bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
+- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
+ in the contextual help).
-For example, to add Ethernet device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10).
+The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
+their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
+following sections.
-.. code-block:: console
+- Check whether a flow rule can be created::
- testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
+ flow validate {port_id}
+ [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
+ pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
+ actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
+- Create a flow rule::
-remove bonding slave
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ flow create {port_id}
+ [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
+ pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
+ actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
-Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device:
+- Destroy specific flow rules::
-remove bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
+ flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
-For example, to remove Ethernet slave device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10).
+- Destroy all flow rules::
-.. code-block:: console
+ flow flush {port_id}
- testpmd> remove bonding slave 6 10
+- Query an existing flow rule::
-set bonding mode
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
-Set the Link Bonding mode of a Link Bonding device:
+- List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
+ identifiers::
-set bonding mode (value) (port id)
+ flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
-For example, to set the bonding mode of a Link Bonding device (port 10) to broadcast (mode 3).
+- Restrict ingress traffic to the defined flow rules::
-.. code-block:: console
+ flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
+
+Validating flow rules
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- testpmd> set bonding mode 3 10
+``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
+underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
+bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
-set bonding primary
+ flow validate {port_id}
+ [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
+ pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
+ actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
+
+If successful, it will show::
+
+ Flow rule validated
+
+Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
+
+ Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
+
+This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
+described in `Creating flow rules`_.
+
+Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
+index 6 is supported::
+
+ testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
+ actions queue index 6 / end
+ Flow rule validated
+ testpmd>
+
+Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
+
+ testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
+ actions drop / end
+ Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
+ testpmd>
+
+Creating flow rules
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Set an Ethernet slave device as the primary device on a Link Bonding device:
+``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
+to ``rte_flow_create()``::
-set bonding primary (slave id) (port id)
+ flow create {port_id}
+ [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
+ pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
+ actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
-For example, to set the Ethernet slave device (port 6) as the primary port of a Link Bonding device (port 10).
+If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
-.. code-block:: console
+ Flow rule #[...] created
- testpmd> set bonding primary 6 10
+Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
-set bonding mac
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
-Set the MAC address of a Link Bonding device:
+Parameters describe in the following order:
-set bonding mac (port id) (mac)
+- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress* tokens).
+- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
+ *end* pattern item.
+- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
+ action.
-For example, to set the MAC address of a Link Bonding device (port 10) to 00:00:00:00:00:01
+These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
+underlying functions.
-.. code-block:: console
+The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
- testpmd> set bonding mac 10 00:00:00:00:00:01
+ testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
-set bonding xmit_balance_policy
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
+one.
-Set the transmission policy for a Link Bonding device when it is in Balance XOR mode:
+**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
-set bonding xmit_balance_policy (port_id) (l2|l23|l34)
+Attributes
+^^^^^^^^^^
-For example, set a Link Bonding device (port 10) to use a balance policy of layer 3+4 (IP addresses & UDP ports )
+These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
+specified before the ``pattern`` token.
-.. code-block:: console
+- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
+- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
+- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
+- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
- testpmd> set bonding xmit_balance_policy 10 l34
+Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
+value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
+ testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
-set bonding mon_period
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
-Set the link status monitoring polling period in milliseconds for a bonding devicie.
+While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
+simultaneously.
-This adds support for PMD slave devices which do not support link status interrupts.
-When the mon_period is set to a value greater than 0 then all PMD's which do not support
-link status ISR will be queried every polling interval to check if their link status has changed.
+Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
-set bonding mon_period (port_id) (value)
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
-For example, to set the link status monitoring polling period of bonded device (port 5) to 150ms
+Matching pattern
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-.. code-block:: console
+A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
+items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
- testpmd> set bonding mon_period 5 150
+Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
+rte_flow_item_type``).
+The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
+below::
-show bonding config
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
-Show the current configuration of a Link Bonding device:
+Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
+layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
+unlikely to match any packet::
-show bonding config (port id)
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
-For example,
-to show the configuration a Link Bonding device (port 9) with 3 slave devices (1, 3, 4)
-in balance mode with a transmission policy of layer 2+3.
+More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
+documentation.
-.. code-block:: console
+Several items support additional specification structures, for example
+``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
- testpmd> show bonding config 9
- Bonding mode: 2
- Balance Xmit Policy: BALANCE_XMIT_POLICY_LAYER23
- Slaves (3): [1 3 4]
- Active Slaves (3): [1 3 4]
- Primary: [3]
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
+ dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
-Register Functions
-------------------
+This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
-The Register functions can be used to read from and write to registers on the network card referenced by a port number.
-This is mainly useful for debugging purposes.
-Reference should be made to the appropriate datasheet for the network card for details on the register addresses
-and fields that can be accessed.
+In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
+``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
+in a similar fashion.
-read reg
-~~~~~~~~
+The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
+and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
+accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
-Display the value of a port register:
+- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
+- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
+- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
+- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
+- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask from a prefix length.
-read reg (port_id) (address)
+These yield identical results::
-For example, to examine the Flow Director control register (FDIRCTL, 0x0000EE000) on an Intel® 82599 10 GbE Controller:
+ ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
-.. code-block:: console
+::
- testpmd> read reg 0 0xEE00
- port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x4A060029 (1241907241)
+ ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
-read regfield
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+::
-Display a port register bit field:
+ ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
-read regfield (port_id) (address) (bit_x) (bit_y)
+::
-For example, reading the lowest two bits from the register in the example above:
+ ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
-.. code-block:: console
+::
- testpmd> read regfield 0 0xEE00 0 1
- port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: bits[0, 1]=0x1 (1)
+ ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
-read regbit
-~~~~~~~~~~~
+Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
-Display a single port register bit:
+ ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
-read regbit (port_id) (address) (bit_x)
+Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
-For example, reading the lowest bit from the register in the example above:
+ ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
+ # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
-.. code-block:: console
+Properties can be modified multiple times::
- testpmd> read regbit 0 0xEE00 0
- port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: bit 0=1
+ ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
-write reg
-~~~~~~~~~
+::
-Set the value of a port register:
+ ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16
-write reg (port_id) (address) (value)
+Pattern items
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-For example, to clear a register:
+This section lists supported pattern items and their attributes, if any.
-.. code-block:: console

+Actions list
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
-5tuple_filter
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
+`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
+terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
-Add or delete a 5-tuple filter,
-which consists of a 5-tuple (protocol, source and destination IP addresses, source and destination TCP/UDP/SCTP port)
-and routes packets into one of the receive queues.
+Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
+rte_flow_action_type``).
-5tuple_filter (port_id) (add|del) dst_ip (dst_address) src_ip (src_address) dst_port (dst_port_value) src_port (src_port_value)
-protocol (protocol_value) mask (mask_value) tcp_flags (tcp_flags_value) priority (prio_value) queue (queue_id)
+Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
-The available information parameters are:
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
+ actions drop / end
-* port_id: the port which the 5-tuple filter assigned on.
+Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
+there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
+queue index.
-* dst_address: destination IP address.
+This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
-* src_address: source IP address.
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
+ actions queue index 6 / end
-* dst_port_value: TCP/UDP destination port.
+While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
-* src_port_value: TCP/UDP source port.
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
+ actions queue / end
-* protocol_value: L4 protocol.
+As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
+rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
-* mask_value: participates in the match or not by bit for field above, 1b means participate
+ queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
-* tcp_flags_value: TCP control bits. The non-zero value is invalid, when the protocol_value is not set to 0x06 (TCP).
+::
-* prio_value: the priority of this filter.
+ void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
-* queue_id: The receive queue associated with this 5-tuple filter.
+All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
+action of a given type is taken into account::
-Example, to add/remove an 5tuple filter rule:
+ queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
-.. code-block:: console
+::
- testpmd> 5tuple_filter 0 add dst_ip 2.2.2.5 src_ip 2.2.2.4 dst_port 64 src_port 32 protocol 0x06 mask 0x1F flags 0x0 priority 3 queue 3
- testpmd> 5tuple_filter 0 del dst_ip 2.2.2.5 src_ip 2.2.2.4 dst_port 64 src_port 32 protocol 0x06 mask 0x1F flags 0x0 priority 3 queue 3
+ drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
-syn_filter
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+::
-By SYN filter, TCP packets whose *SYN* flag is set can be forwarded to a separate queue.
+ mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
-syn_filter (port_id) (add|del) priority (high|low) queue (queue_id)
+Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
+actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
-The available information parameters are:
+ drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
-* port_id: the port which the SYN filter assigned on.
+::
-* high: this SYN filter has higher priority than other filters.
+ drop / dup index 6 / end # same as above
-* low: this SYN filter has lower priority than other filters.
+::
-* queue_id: The receive queue associated with this SYN filter
+ queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
-Example:
+::
-.. code-block:: console
+ drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
- testpmd> syn_filter 0 add priority high queue 3
+Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.
-flex_filter
-~~~~~~~~~~~
+Actions
+^^^^^^^
-With flex filter, packets can be recognized by any arbitrary pattern within the first 128 bytes of the packet
-and routes packets into one of the receive queues.
+This section lists supported actions and their attributes, if any.
-flex_filter (port_id) (add|del) len (len_value) bytes (bytes_value)
-mask (mask_value) priority (prio_value) queue (queue_id)
+- ``end``: end list of actions.
-The available information parameters are:
+- ``void``: no-op action.
-* port_id: the port which the Flex filter is assigned on.
+- ``passthru``: let subsequent rule process matched packets.
-* len_value: filter length in bytes, no greater than 128.
+- ``mark``: attach 32 bit value to packets.
-* bytes_value: a string in hexadecimal, means the value the flex filter needs to match.
+ - ``id {unsigned}``: 32 bit value to return with packets.
-* mask_value: a string in hexadecimal, bit 1 means corresponding byte participates in the match.
+- ``flag``: flag packets.
-* prio_value: the priority of this filter.
+- ``queue``: assign packets to a given queue index.
-* queue_id: the receive queue associated with this Flex filter.
+ - ``index {unsigned}``: queue index to use.
-Example:
+- ``drop``: drop packets (note: passthru has priority).
-.. code-block:: console
+- ``count``: enable counters for this rule.
- testpmd> flex_filter 0 add len 16 bytes 0x00000000000000000000000008060000
- mask 000C priority 3 queue 3
+- ``dup``: duplicate packets to a given queue index.
- testpmd> flex_filter 0 del len 16 bytes 0x00000000000000000000000008060000
- mask 000C priority 3 queue 3
+ - ``index {unsigned}``: queue index to duplicate packets to.
-flow_director_filter
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+- ``rss``: spread packets among several queues.
-The Flow Director works in receive mode to identify specific flows or sets of flows and route them to specific queues.
+ - ``queues [{unsigned} [...]] end``: queue indices to use.
-Two types of filtering are supported which are referred to as Perfect Match and Signature filters, the match mode
-is set by the --pkt-filter-mode command-line parameter:
+- ``pf``: redirect packets to physical device function.
-* Perfect match filters.
- The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
+- ``vf``: redirect packets to virtual device function.
-* Signature filters.
- The hardware checks a match between a hash-based signature of the masked fields of the received packet.
+ - ``original {boolean}``: use original VF ID if possible.
+ - ``id {unsigned}``: VF ID to redirect packets to.
-The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet: flow type, specific input set
-per flow type and the flexible payload. The Flow Director can also mask out parts of all of these fields so that filters
-are only applied to certain fields or parts of the fields.
+Destroying flow rules
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Different NICs may have different capabilities, command show port fdir (port_id) can be used to acquire the information.
+``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
+by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
+times as necessary::
-# Commands to add flow director filters of different flow types.
+ flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
-flow_director_filter (port_id) (add|del|update) flow (ip4|ip4-frag|ip6|ip6-frag)
-src (src_ip_address) dst (dst_ip_address) vlan (vlan_value) flexbytes (flexbytes_value)
-(drop|fwd) queue (queue_id) fd_id (fd_id_value)
+If successful, it will show::
-flow_director_filter (port_id) (add|del|update) flow (udp4|tcp4|udp6|tcp6)
-src (src_ip_address) (src_port) dst (dst_ip_address) (dst_port) vlan (vlan_value)
-flexbytes (flexbytes_value) (drop|fwd) queue (queue_id) fd_id (fd_id_value)
+ Flow rule #[...] destroyed
-flow_director_filter (port_id) (add|del|update) flow (sctp4|sctp6)
-src (src_ip_address) (src_port) dst (dst_ip_address) (dst_port) tag (verification_tag)
-vlan (vlan_value) flexbytes (flexbytes_value) (drop|fwd) queue (queue_id) fd_id (fd_id_value)
+It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
+message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
-For example, to add an udp flow type filter:
+ Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
-.. code-block:: console
+``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
+arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
- testpmd> flow_director_filter 0 add flow udp4 src 2.2.2.3 32 dst 2.2.2.5 33 vlan 0x1 flexbytes (0x88,0x48) fwd queue 1 fd_id 1
+ flow flush {port_id}
-For example, add an ip4 flow type filter:
+Any errors are reported as above.
-.. code-block:: console
+Creating several rules and destroying them::
- testpmd> flow_director_filter 0 add flow ip4 src 2.2.2.3 dst 2.2.2.5 vlan 0x1 flexbytes (0x88,0x48) fwd queue 1 fd_id 1
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
+ actions queue index 2 / end
+ Flow rule #0 created
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
+ actions queue index 3 / end
+ Flow rule #1 created
+ testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
+ Flow rule #1 destroyed
+ Flow rule #0 destroyed
+ testpmd>
-flush_flow_director
+The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
+
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
+ actions queue index 2 / end
+ Flow rule #0 created
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
+ actions queue index 3 / end
+ Flow rule #1 created
+ testpmd> flow flush 0
+ testpmd>
+
+Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
+
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
+ actions queue index 2 / end
+ Flow rule #0 created
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
+ actions queue index 3 / end
+ Flow rule #1 created
+ testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
+ testpmd>
+ testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
+ Flow rule #0 destroyed
+ testpmd>
+
+Querying flow rules
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-flush all flow director filters on a device:
+``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
+ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
+command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
-flush_flow_director (port_id)
+ flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
-Example, to flush all flow director filter on port 0:
+If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
+or the following message::
-.. code-block:: console
+ Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
- testpmd> flush_flow_director 0
+Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
+error occurred::
-flow_director_mask
+ Flow rule #[...] not found
+
+::
+
+ Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
+
+Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
+number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
+output has the following format::
+
+ count:
+ hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
+ bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
+ hits: [...] # number of packets
+ bytes: [...] # number of bytes
+
+Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
+
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
+ actions queue index 6 / count / end
+ Flow rule #4 created
+ testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
+ count:
+ hits_set: 1
+ bytes_set: 0
+ hits: 386446
+ bytes: 0
+ testpmd>
+
+Listing flow rules
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-set flow director's masks on match input set
+``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
+filtered by group identifiers::
+
+ flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
+
+This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
+exist::
+
+ Invalid port [...]
+
+Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
+flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
+configured on the device::
+
+ ID Group Prio Attr Rule
+ [...] [...] [...] [...] [...]
+
+``Attr`` column flags:
+
+- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
+- ``e`` for ``egress``.
+
+Creating several flow rules and listing them::
+
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
+ actions queue index 6 / end
+ Flow rule #0 created
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
+ actions queue index 2 / end
+ Flow rule #1 created
+ testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
+ actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
+ Flow rule #2 created
+ testpmd> flow list 0
+ ID Group Prio Attr Rule
+ 0 0 0 i- ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
+ 1 0 0 i- ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
+ 2 0 5 i- ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
+ testpmd>
+
+Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
+
+ testpmd> flow list 1
+ ID Group Prio Attr Rule
+ 0 0 0 i- ETH => COUNT
+ 6 0 500 i- ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
+ 5 0 1000 i- ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
+ 1 24 0 i- ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
+ 4 24 10 i- ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
+ 3 24 20 i- ETH IPV4 => DROP
+ 2 24 42 i- ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
+ 7 63 0 i- ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
+ testpmd>
+
+Output can be limited to specific groups::
+
+ testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
+ ID Group Prio Attr Rule
+ 0 0 0 i- ETH => COUNT
+ 6 0 500 i- ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT

+Toggling isolated mode
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-flow_director_mask (port_id) vlan (vlan_value) src_mask (ipv4_src) (ipv6_src) (src_port) dst_mask (ipv4_dst) (ipv6_dst) (dst_port)
+``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
+must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
+is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
+resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
-Example, to set flow director mask on port 0:
+ flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
-.. code-block:: console
+If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
- testpmd> flow_director_mask 0 vlan 0xefff src_mask 255.255.255.255 FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF 0xFFFF dst_mask 255.255.255.255 FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF 0xFFFF
+ Ingress traffic on port [...]
+ is now restricted to the defined flow rules
+Or::
-flow_director_flex_mask
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ Ingress traffic on port [...]
+ is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
-set masks of flow director's flexible payload based on certain flow type:
+Otherwise, in case of error::
-flow_director_flex_mask (port_id) flow (raw|ip4|ip4-frag|tcp4|udp4|sctp4|ip6|ip6-frag|tcp6|udp6|sctp6|all) (mask)
+ Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
-Example, to set flow director's udpv4 flex mask on port 0:
+Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
+ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
+first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
-.. code-block:: console
+Enabling isolated mode::
- testpmd> flow_director_flex_mask 0 flow all (0xff,0xff,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)
+ testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
+ Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
+ testpmd>
+Disabling isolated mode::
-flow_director_flex_payload
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
+ Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
+ testpmd>
+
+Sample QinQ flow rules
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Configure flexible payload selection.
+Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
-flow_director_flex_payload (port_id) (raw|l2|l3|l4) (config)
+ testpmd> port stop 0
+ testpmd> vlan set qinq on 0
-For example, to select the first 16 bytes from the offset 4 (bytes) of packet’s payload as flexible payload.
+The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
-.. code-block:: console
+To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
+
+ testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0xa100 0
+ testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x9100 0
+ testpmd> port start 0
+
+Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
+
+::
+
+ testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
+ vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end
+ Flow rule #0 validated
+
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 4 /
