From: Bruce Richardson Date: Thu, 29 May 2014 10:12:14 +0000 (+0100) Subject: distributor: new packet distributor library X-Git-Tag: spdx-start~10751 X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=08ccf3faa6a9977c9960306e03b4fbe6a4e76dbf;p=dpdk.git distributor: new packet distributor library This adds the code for a new Intel DPDK library for packet distribution. The distributor is a component which is designed to pass packets one-at-a-time to workers, with dynamic load balancing. Using the RSS field in the mbuf as a tag, the distributor tracks what packet tag is being processed by what worker and then ensures that no two packets with the same tag are in-flight simultaneously. Once a tag is not in-flight, then the next packet with that tag will be sent to the next available core.
