Detailed Description

RTE Pipeline Table Actions

This API provides a common set of actions for pipeline tables to speed up application development.

Each match-action rule added to a pipeline table has associated data that stores the action context. This data is input to the table action handler called for every input packet that hits the rule as part of the table lookup during the pipeline execution. The pipeline library allows the user to define his own table actions by providing customized table action handlers (table lookup) and complete freedom of setting the rules and their data (table rule add/delete). While the user can still follow this process, this API is intended to provide a quicker development alternative for a set of predefined actions.

The typical steps to use this API are:

• Define a table action profile. This is a configuration template that can potentially be shared by multiple tables from the same or different pipelines, with different tables from the same pipeline likely to use different action profiles. For every table using a given action profile, the profile defines the set of actions and the action configuration to be implemented for all the table rules. API functions: rte_table_action_profile_create(), rte_table_action_profile_action_register(), rte_table_action_profile_freeze().
• Instantiate the table action profile to create table action objects. Each pipeline table has its own table action object. API functions: rte_table_action_create().
• Use the table action object to generate the pipeline table action handlers (invoked by the pipeline table lookup operation). API functions: rte_table_action_table_params_get().
• Use the table action object to generate the rule data (for the pipeline table rule add operation) based on given action parameters. API functions: rte_table_action_apply().
• Use the table action object to read action data (e.g. stats counters) for any given rule. API functions: rte_table_action_XYZ_read().
