IP Fragmentation Sample Application
===================================
The IPv4 Fragmentation application is a simple example of packet processing
-using the Intel® Data Plane Development Kit (Intel® DPDK).
+using the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK).
The application does L3 forwarding with IPv4 and IPv6 packet fragmentation.
Overview
--------
The application demonstrates the use of zero-copy buffers for packet fragmentation.
-The initialization and run-time paths are very similar to those of the L2 forwarding application
-(see Chapter 9 "L2 Forwarding Simple Application (in Real and Virtualised Environments)" for more information).
+The initialization and run-time paths are very similar to those of the :doc:`l2_forward_real_virtual`.
This guide highlights the differences between the two applications.
There are three key differences from the L2 Forwarding sample application:
By default, input frame sizes up to 9.5 KB are supported.
Before forwarding, the input IP packet is fragmented to fit into the "standard" Ethernet* v2 MTU (1500 bytes).
-Building the Application
-------------------------
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
-To build the application:
+To compile the sample application see :doc:`compiling`.
-#. Go to the sample application directory:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
- cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/ip_fragmentation
-
-#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
-
-See the *Intel® DPDK Getting Started Guide* for possible RTE_TARGET values.
-
-#. Build the application:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- make
+The application is located in the ``ip_fragmentation`` sub-directory.
Running the Application
-----------------------
.. code-block:: console
- ./build/ip_fragmentation -c 0x14 -n 3 -- -p 5
+ ./build/ip_fragmentation -l 2,4 -n 3 -- -p 5
EAL: coremask set to 14
EAL: Detected lcore 0 on socket 0
EAL: Detected lcore 1 on socket 1
.. code-block:: console
- ./build/ip_fragmentation -c 0x10 -n 3 -- -p 5 -q 2
+ ./build/ip_fragmentation -l 4 -n 3 -- -p 5 -q 2
To test the application, flows should be set up in the flow generator that match the values in the
l3fwd_ipv4_route_array and/or l3fwd_ipv6_route_array table.
in that all the memory structures are allocated on all sockets that have active lcores on them.
