with two or three threads per each packet flow configuration being used.
The RX thread reads packets from the RX port,
classifies the packets based on the double VLAN (outer and inner) and
-the lower two bytes of the IP destination address and puts them into the ring queue.
+the lower byte of the IP destination address and puts them into the ring queue.
The worker thread dequeues the packets from the ring and calls the QoS scheduler enqueue/dequeue functions.
If a separate TX core is used, these are sent to the TX ring.
Otherwise, they are sent directly to the TX port.
.. note::
- To get statistics on the sample app using the command line interface as described in the next section,
- DPDK must be compiled defining *CONFIG_RTE_SCHED_COLLECT_STATS*,
- which can be done by changing the configuration file for the specific target to be compiled.
+ Number of grinders is currently set to 8.
+ This can be modified by specifying RTE_SCHED_PORT_N_GRINDERS=N
+ in CFLAGS, where N is number of grinders.
Running the Application
-----------------------
.. code-block:: console
- ./qos_sched [EAL options] -- <APP PARAMS>
+ ./<build_dir>/examples/dpdk-qos_sched [EAL options] -- <APP PARAMS>
Mandatory application parameters include:
In this mode, the application shows a command line that can be used for obtaining statistics while
scheduling is taking place (see interactive mode below for more information).
-* --mst n: Master core index (the default value is 1).
+* --mnc n: Main core index (the default value is 1).

Interactive mode
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: console
- ./qos_sched -l 1,5,7 -n 4 -- --pfc "3,2,5,7" --cfg ./profile.cfg
+ ./<build_dir>/examples/dpdk-qos_sched -l 1,5,7 -n 4 -- --pfc "3,2,5,7" --cfg ./profile.cfg
This example uses a single packet flow configuration which creates one RX thread on lcore 5 reading
from port 3 and a worker thread on lcore 7 writing to port 2.
.. code-block:: console
- ./qos_sched -l 1,2,6,7 -n 4 -- --pfc "3,2,2,6,7" --pfc "1,0,2,6,7" --cfg ./profile.cfg

Note that independent cores for the packet flow configurations for each of the RX, WT and TX thread are also supported,
providing flexibility to balance the work.
-The EAL coremask/corelist is constrained to contain the default mastercore 1 and the RX, WT and TX cores only.
+The EAL coremask/corelist is constrained to contain the default main core 1 and the RX, WT and TX cores only.
