----------------------
-
-Advanced filtering support was added to 1300 series VIC firmware starting
-with version 2.0.13 for C-series UCS servers and version 3.1.2 for UCSM
-managed blade servers. In order to enable advanced filtering the 'Advanced
-filter' radio button should be enabled via CIMC or UCSM followed by a reboot
-of the server.
-
-With advanced filters, perfect matching of all fields of IPv4, IPv6 headers
-as well as TCP, UDP and SCTP L4 headers is available through flow director.
-Masking of these fields for partial match is also supported.
-
-Without advanced filter support, the flow director is limited to IPv4
-perfect filtering of the 5-tuple with no masking of fields supported.

Generic Flow API support
------------------------
-Generic Flow API is supported. The baseline support is:
+Generic Flow API (also called "rte_flow" API) is supported. More advanced
+capabilities are available when "Advanced Filtering" is enabled on the adapter.
+Advanced filtering was added to 1300 series VIC firmware starting with version
+2.0.13 for C-series UCS servers and version 3.1.2 for UCSM managed blade
+servers. Advanced filtering is available on 1400 series adapters and beyond.
+To enable advanced filtering, the 'Advanced filter' radio button should be
+selected via CIMC or UCSM followed by a reboot of the server.

+The VIC performs packet matching after applying VLAN strip. If VLAN
+stripping is enabled, EtherType in the ETH item corresponds to the
+stripped VLAN header's EtherType. Stripping does not affect the VLAN
+item. TCI and EtherType in the VLAN item are matched against those in
+the (stripped) VLAN header whether stripping is enabled or disabled.
More features may be added in future firmware and new versions of the VIC.
Please refer to the release notes.
the current NIC has a single VXLAN port number, the user cannot
configure multiple port numbers.
+Geneve headers with non-zero options are not supported by default. To
+use Geneve with options, update the VIC firmware to the latest version
+and then set ``devargs`` parameter ``geneve-opt=1``. When Geneve with
+options is enabled, flow API cannot be used as the features are
+currently mutually exclusive. When this feature is successfully
+enabled, PMD prints the following message.

Ingress VLAN Rewrite

- adapters with old firmware. Please see :ref:`enic-flow-director`.

-- Flow director features are not supported on generation 1 Cisco VIC adapters

were added. Since there currently is no grouping or priority support,
'catch-all' filters should be added last.
- The supported range of IDs for the 'MARK' action is 0 - 0xFFFD.
+ - RSS and PASSTHRU actions only support "receive normally". They are limited
+ to supporting MARK + RSS and PASSTHRU + MARK to allow the application to mark
+ packets and then receive them normally. These require 1400 series VIC adapters
+ and latest firmware.
+ - RAW items are limited to matching UDP tunnel headers like VXLAN.
+ - For 1400 VICs, all flows using the RSS action on a port use same hash
+ configuration. The RETA is ignored. The queues used in the RSS group must be
+ sequential. There is a performance hit if the number of queues is not a power of 2.
+ Only level 0 (outer header) RSS is allowed.
- **Statistics**
- IP checksum offload
- Receive side VLAN stripping
- Multiple receive and transmit queues
-- Flow Director ADD, UPDATE, DELETE, STATS operation support IPv4 and IPv6
- Promiscuous mode
- Setting RX VLAN (supported via UCSM/CIMC only)
- VLAN filtering (supported via UCSM/CIMC only)
