+~~~~~~~
+
+Set the packet forwarding mode::
+
+ testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|macswap|flowgen| \
+ rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho|noisy) (""|retry)
+
+``retry`` can be specified for forwarding engines except ``rx_only``.
+
+The available information categories are:
+
+* ``io``: Forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
+ 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 behavior 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-peers-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.
+
+* ``flowgen``: Multi-flow generation mode.
+ Originates a number of flows (with varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
+
+* ``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 ICMP 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``.
+
+* ``softnic``: Demonstrates the softnic forwarding operation. In this mode, packet forwarding is
+ similar to I/O mode except for the fact that packets are loopback to the softnic ports only. Therefore, portmask parameter should be set to softnic port only. The various software based custom NIC pipelines specified through the softnic firmware (DPDK packet framework script) can be tested in this mode. Furthermore, it allows to build 5-level hierarchical QoS scheduler as a default option that can be enabled through CLI once testpmd application is initialised. The user can modify the default scheduler hierarchy or can specify the new QoS Scheduler hierarchy through CLI. Requires ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_SOFTNIC=y``.
+
+* ``noisy``: Noisy neighbor simulation.
+ Simulate more realistic behavior of a guest machine engaged in receiving
+ and sending packets performing Virtual Network Function (VNF).

+
+ testpmd> set fwd rxonly
+
+ Set rxonly packet forwarding mode

+* ``"off``: is just clean all configuration about queue region just now,
+ and restore all to DPDK i40e driver default config when start up.
+
+Show all queue region related configuration info on a port::
+
+ testpmd> show port (port_id) queue-region
+
+.. note::
+

+
+csum parse-tunnel
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
+engine::
+
+ testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
+
+If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
+tunnel headers (vxlan, gre, ipip).
+
+If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
+header is handled as a packet payload).
+
+.. note::
+
+ The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
+
+Example:
+
+Consider a packet in packet like the following::
+
+ eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
+
+* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
+ command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
+ ``outer-ip|outer-udp`` parameter relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``).
+
+* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
+ command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.

+tunnel tso show
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Display the status of tunneled TCP Segmentation Offload for a port::
+
+ testpmd> tunnel_tso show (port_id)
+
+set port - gro
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
+
+ testpmd> set port <port_id> gro on|off
+
+If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
+packets received from the given port.
+
+If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
+GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
+
+.. note::
+
+ When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
+ will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
+ checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
+ the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
+ have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
+ HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
+ transmitted to.
+
+show port - gro
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Display GRO configuration for a given port::
+
+ testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
+
+set gro flush
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
+
+ testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
+
+When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
+packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
+can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
+from the reassembly tables.
+
+The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
+engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
+operations.
+
+By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
+from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
+of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
+
+Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
+stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
+stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
+
+set port - gso
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
+
+ testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
+
+If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
+packets, transmitted on the given port.
+
+If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
+By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
+
+.. note::
+
+ When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
+ port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
+ multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
+ of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
+ checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
+ GSO-enabled ports.
+
+ For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
+ by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
+
+ testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
+
+ testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
+
+ testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
+
+ UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation, which treats the UDP header
+ as the payload and does not modify it during segmentation. That is,
+ after UDP GSO, only the first output fragment has the original UDP
+ header. Therefore, users need to enable HW IP checksum calculation
+ and SW UDP checksum calculation for GSO-enabled ports, if they want
+ correct checksums for UDP/IPv4 packets.
+
+set gso segsz
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Set the maximum GSO segment size (measured in bytes), which includes the
+packet header and the packet payload for GSO-enabled ports (global)::

+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
+
+To remove a port created by a virtual device, above steps are not needed.

+
+.. _testpmd_flow_director:
+
+flow_director_filter
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The Flow Director works in receive mode to identify specific flows or sets of flows and route them to specific queues.
+
+Four types of filtering are supported which are referred to as Perfect Match, Signature, Perfect-mac-vlan and
+Perfect-tunnel filters, the match mode is set by the ``--pkt-filter-mode`` command-line parameter:
+
+* Perfect match filters.
+ The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
+ The masked fields are for IP flow.
+
+* Signature filters.
+ The hardware checks a match between a hash-based signature of the masked fields of the received packet.
+
+* 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.
+
+* 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.
+
+* Perfect-raw-flow-type match filters.
+ The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and pre-loaded raw (template) packet.
+ The masked fields are specified by input sets.
+
+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.
+
+Note that for raw flow type mode the source and destination fields in the
+raw packet buffer need to be presented in a reversed order with respect
+to the expected received packets.
+For example: IP source and destination addresses or TCP/UDP/SCTP
+source and destination ports
+
+Different NICs may have different capabilities, command show port fdir (port_id) can be used to acquire the information.

+
+Flow rules management
+---------------------
+
+Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
+``flow`` command (validation, creation, destruction, queries and operation
+modes).
+
+Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
+features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
+not recommended.
+
+``flow`` syntax
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+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:
+
+- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
+ token, not that of the entire command.
+
+- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
+ in the contextual help).
+
+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.
+
+- Check whether a flow rule can be created::
+
+ flow validate {port_id}
+ [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
+ pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
+ actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
+
+- Create a flow rule::
+
+ flow create {port_id}
+ [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
+ pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
+ actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
+
+- Destroy specific flow rules::
+
+ flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
+
+- Destroy all flow rules::
+
+ flow flush {port_id}
+
+- Query an existing flow rule::
+
+ flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
+
+- List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
+ identifiers::
+
+ flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
+
+- Restrict ingress traffic to the defined flow rules::
+
+ flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
+
+- Dump internal representation information of all flows in hardware::
+
+ flow dump {port_id} {output_file}
+
+- List and destroy aged flow rules::
+
+ flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
+
+Validating flow rules
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``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()``::
+
+ flow validate {port_id}
+ [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
+ 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>
-Add an UDP port for VXLAN packet filter on a port:
+Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
-rx_vxlan_port add (udp_port) (port_id)
+ testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
+ actions drop / end
+ Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
+ testpmd>
-rx_vxlan_port remove
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Creating flow rules
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Remove an UDP port for VXLAN packet filter on a port:
+``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
+to ``rte_flow_create()``::
-rx_vxlan_port rm (udp_port) (port_id)
+ flow create {port_id}
+ [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
+ pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
+ actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
-tx_vlan set
-~~~~~~~~~~~
+If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
-Set hardware insertion of VLAN ID in packets sent on a port:
+ Flow rule #[...] created
-tx_vlan set (vlan_id) (port_id)
+Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
-tx_vlan set pvid
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
-Set port based hardware insertion of VLAN ID in pacekts sent on a port:
+Parameters describe in the following order:
-tx_vlan set pvid (port_id) (vlan_id) (on|off)
+- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* 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.
-tx_vlan reset
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
+underlying functions.
-Disable hardware insertion of a VLAN header in packets sent on a port:
+The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
-tx_vlan reset (port_id)
+ testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
-tx_checksum set
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
+one.
-Select hardware or software calculation of the checksum when
-transmitting a packet using the csum forward engine:
+**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
-tx_cksum set (ip|udp|tcp|sctp|vxlan)
+Attributes
+^^^^^^^^^^
-ip|udp|tcp|sctp always concern the inner layer.
-vxlan concerns the outer IP and UDP layer (in case the packet
-is recognized as a vxlan packet by the forward engine)
+These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
+specified before the ``pattern`` token.
-.. note::
+- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
+- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
+- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
+- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
+- ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
- Check the NIC Datasheet for hardware limits.
+Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
+value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
-tx_checksum show
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
-Display tx checksum offload configuration:
+Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
-tx_checksum show (port_id)
+While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
+simultaneously.
-tso set
-~~~~~~~
+Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
-Enable TCP Segmentation Offload in csum forward engine:
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
-tso set (segsize) (port_id)
+Matching pattern
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-.. note::
- Please check the NIC datasheet for HW limits
+A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
+items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
-tso show
-~~~~~~~~
+Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
+rte_flow_item_type``).
-Display the status of TCP Segmentation Offload:
+The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
+below::
-tso show (port_id)
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
-set fwd
-~~~~~~~
+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::
-Set the packet forwarding mode:
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
-set fwd (io|mac|mac_retry|macswap|flowgen|rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho)
+More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
+documentation.
-The available information categories are:
+Several items support additional specification structures, for example
+``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
-* io: forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
- This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
- This is the default mode.
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
+ dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
-* mac: changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
+This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
-* mac_retry: same as "mac" forwarding mode, but includes retries if the destination queue is full.
+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.
-* macswap: MAC swap forwarding mode.
- Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
+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:
-* flowgen: multi-flow generation mode.
- Originates a bunch of flows (varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
+- ``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 with <prefix-length> most-significant bits set to one.
-* rxonly: receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
+These yield identical results::
-* txonly: generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
+ ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
-* csum: changes the checksum field with HW or SW 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.
+ ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
+::
-Example:
+ ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
-.. code-block:: console
+::

+ ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
-mac_addr remove
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
-Remove a MAC address from a port:
+ 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
-mac_addr remove (port_id) (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX)
+Properties can be modified multiple times::
-mac_addr add(for VF)
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
-Add an alternative MAC address for a VF to a port:
+::

+Actions list
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Port Functions
---------------
+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.
-The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
+Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
+rte_flow_action_type``).
-.. note::
+Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
- Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
+ actions drop / end
-port attach
-~~~~~~~~~~~
+Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
+there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
+queue index.
-Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args.
+This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
-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.
-On the other hand, to attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
+ actions queue index 6 / end
-port attach (identifier)
+While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
-For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:02:00.0.
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
+ actions queue / end
-.. code-block:: console
+As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
+rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
- testpmd> port attach 0000:02:00.0
- Attaching a new port...
- ... snip ...
- Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
- Done
+ queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
-For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
+::
-.. code-block:: console
+ void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
- testpmd> port attach eth_pcap0,iface=eth0
- Attaching a new port...
- ... snip ...
- Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
- Done
+All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
+action of a given type is taken into account::
-In this case, identifier is "eth_pcap0,iface=eth0".
-This identifier format is the same as "--vdev" format of DPDK applications.
+ queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
-port detach
-~~~~~~~~~~~
+::
-Detach a specific port.
+ drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
-Before detaching a port, the port should be closed.
-Also 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.
-On the other hand, to remove a port created by a virtual device, above steps are not needed.
+::
-port detach (port_id)
+ mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
-For example, to detach a port 0.
+Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
+actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
-.. code-block:: console

-.. code-block:: console
+Destroying flow rules
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- testpmd> remove bonding slave 6 10
+``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::
-set bonding mode
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
-Set the Link Bonding mode of a Link Bonding device:
+If successful, it will show::
-set bonding mode (value) (port id)
+ Flow rule #[...] destroyed
-For example, to set the bonding mode of a Link Bonding device (port 10) to broadcast (mode 3).
+It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
+message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
-.. code-block:: console
+ Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
- testpmd> set bonding mode 3 10
+``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
+arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
-set bonding primary
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ flow flush {port_id}
-Set an Ethernet slave device as the primary device on a Link Bonding device:
+Any errors are reported as above.
-set bonding primary (slave id) (port id)
+Creating several rules and destroying them::
-For example, to set the Ethernet slave device (port 6) as the primary port of a Link Bonding device (port 10).
+ 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>
-.. code-block:: console
+The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
- testpmd> set bonding primary 6 10
+ 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>
-set bonding mac
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
-Set the MAC address of a Link Bonding device:
+ 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>
-set bonding mac (port id) (mac)
+Querying flow rules
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-For example, to set the MAC address of a Link Bonding device (port 10) to 00:00:00:00:00:01
+``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()``::
-.. code-block:: console
+ flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
- testpmd> set bonding mac 10 00:00:00:00:00:01
+If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
+or the following message::
-set bonding xmit_balance_policy
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
-Set the transmission policy for a Link Bonding device when it is in Balance XOR mode:
+Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
+error occurred::
-set bonding xmit_balance_policy (port_id) (l2|l23|l34)
+ Flow rule #[...] not found
-For example, set a Link Bonding device (port 10) to use a balance policy of layer 3+4 (IP addresses & UDP ports )
+::
-.. code-block:: console
+ Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
- testpmd> set bonding xmit_balance_policy 10 l34
+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
-set bonding mon_period
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
-Set the link status monitoring polling period in milliseconds for a bonding devicie.
+ 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>
-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.
+Listing flow rules
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-set bonding mon_period (port_id) (value)
+``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
+ 5 0 1000 i- ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
+ 7 63 0 i- ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
+ testpmd>
+
+Toggling isolated mode
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-For example, to set the link status monitoring polling period of bonded device (port 5) to 150ms
+``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()``::
-.. code-block:: console
+ flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
- testpmd> set bonding mon_period 5 150
+If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
+ Ingress traffic on port [...]
+ is now restricted to the defined flow rules
-show bonding config
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Or::
-Show the current configuration of a Link Bonding device:
+ Ingress traffic on port [...]
+ is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
-show bonding config (port id)
+Otherwise, in case of error::
-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.
+ Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
-.. code-block:: console
+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).
- 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]
+Enabling isolated mode::
-Register Functions
-------------------
+ testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
+ Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
+ testpmd>
-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.
+Disabling isolated mode::
-read reg
-~~~~~~~~
+ testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
+ Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
+ testpmd>
-Display the value of a port register:
+Dumping HW internal information
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-read reg (port_id) (address)
+``flow dump`` dumps the hardware's internal representation information of
+all flows. It is bound to ``rte_flow_dev_dump()``::
-For example, to examine the Flow Director control register (FDIRCTL, 0x0000EE000) on an Intel® 82599 10 GbE Controller:
+ flow dump {port_id} {output_file}
-.. code-block:: console
+If successful, it will show::
- testpmd> read reg 0 0xEE00
- port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x4A060029 (1241907241)
+ Flow dump finished
-read regfield
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Otherwise, it will complain error occurred::
-Display a port register bit field:
+ Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
-read regfield (port_id) (address) (bit_x) (bit_y)
+Listing and destroying aged flow rules
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-For example, reading the lowest two bits from the register in the example above:
+``flow aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from api ``rte_flow_get_aged_flows``,
+and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to destroy those flow rules in PMD.
-.. code-block:: console
+ flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
- testpmd> read regfield 0 0xEE00 0 1
- port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: bits[0, 1]=0x1 (1)
+Listing current aged flow rules::
-read regbit
-~~~~~~~~~~~
+ testpmd> flow aged 0
+ Port 0 total aged flows: 0
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end
+ actions age timeout 5 / queue index 0 / end
+ Flow rule #0 created
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.15 / end
+ actions age timeout 4 / queue index 0 / end
+ Flow rule #1 created
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.16 / end
+ actions age timeout 2 / queue index 0 / end
+ Flow rule #2 created
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.17 / end
+ actions age timeout 3 / queue index 0 / end
+ Flow rule #3 created
-Display a single port register bit:
-read regbit (port_id) (address) (bit_x)
+Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow list {port_id}``, but strip the detail rule
+information, all the aged flows are sorted by the longest timeout time. For example, if
+those rules be configured in the same time, ID 2 will be the first aged out rule, the next
+will be ID 3, ID 1, ID 0::
-For example, reading the lowest bit from the register in the example above:
+ testpmd> flow aged 0
+ Port 0 total aged flows: 4
+ ID Group Prio Attr
+ 2 0 0 i--
+ 3 0 0 i--
+ 1 0 0 i--
+ 0 0 0 i--
-.. code-block:: console
+If attach ``destroy`` parameter, the command will destroy all the list aged flow rules.
- testpmd> read regbit 0 0xEE00 0
- port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: bit 0=1
+ testpmd> flow aged 0 destroy
+ Port 0 total aged flows: 4
+ ID Group Prio Attr
+ 2 0 0 i--
+ 3 0 0 i--
+ 1 0 0 i--
+ 0 0 0 i--
-write reg
-~~~~~~~~~
+ Flow rule #2 destroyed
+ Flow rule #3 destroyed
+ Flow rule #1 destroyed
+ Flow rule #0 destroyed
+ 4 flows be destroyed
+ testpmd> flow aged 0
+ Port 0 total aged flows: 0
-Set the value of a port register:
-write reg (port_id) (address) (value)
+Sample QinQ flow rules
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-For example, to clear a register:
+Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
-.. code-block:: console
+ testpmd> port stop 0
+ testpmd> vlan set qinq_strip on 0
- testpmd> write reg 0 0xEE00 0x0
- port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x00000000 (0)
+The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
-write regfield
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
-Set bit field of a port register:
+ testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0xa100 0
+ testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x9100 0
+ testpmd> port start 0
-write regfield (port_id) (address) (bit_x) (bit_y) (value)
+Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
-For example, writing to the register cleared in the example above:
+::
-.. code-block:: console
+ 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> write regfield 0 0xEE00 0 1 2
- port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x00000002 (2)
+ testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 4 /
+ vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 123 / queue index 0 / end
+ Flow rule #0 created
-write regbit
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ testpmd> flow list 0

+Sample Raw encapsulation rule
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-flow_director_filter
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Raw encapsulation configuration can be set by the following commands
-The Flow Director works in receive mode to identify specific flows or sets of flows and route them to specific queues.
+Eecapsulating VxLAN::
-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:
+ testpmd> set raw_encap 4 eth src is 10:11:22:33:44:55 / vlan tci is 1
+ inner_type is 0x0800 / ipv4 / udp dst is 4789 / vxlan vni
+ is 2 / end_set
+ testpmd> flow create 0 egress pattern eth / ipv4 / end actions
+ raw_encap index 4 / end
-* Perfect match filters.
- The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
+Sample Raw decapsulation rule
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* Signature filters.
- The hardware checks a match between a hash-based signature of the masked fields of the received packet.
+Raw decapsulation configuration can be set by the following commands
-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.
+Decapsulating VxLAN::
-Different NICs may have different capabilities, command show port fdir (port_id) can be used to acquire the information.

-Configure flexible payload selection.
+Unload previously loaded eBPF program for particular RX/TX queue::
-flow_director_flex_payload (port_id) (raw|l2|l3|l4) (config)
+ testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
-For example, to select the first 16 bytes from the offset 4 (bytes) of packet’s payload as flexible payload.
+For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
.. code-block:: console
- testpmd> flow_director_flex_payload 0 l4 (4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19)
+ testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
