Detailed Description

RTE Port

This tool is part of the Intel DPDK Packet Framework tool suite and provides a standard interface to implement different types of packet ports.

Macro Definition Documentation

#define RTE_PORT_IN_BURST_SIZE_MAX   64

Maximum number of packets read from any input port in a single burst.

Cannot be changed.

Typedef Documentation

typedef void*(* rte_port_in_op_create)(void *params, int socket_id)

Input port create

Parameters

params	Parameters for input port creation
socket_id	CPU socket ID (e.g. for memory allocation purpose)

Returns

Handle to input port instance

typedef int(* rte_port_in_op_free)(void *port)

Input port free

Parameters

port	Handle to input port instance

Returns

0 on success, error code otherwise

typedef int(* rte_port_in_op_rx)(void *port, struct rte_mbuf **pkts, uint32_t n_pkts)

Input port packet burst RX

Parameters

port	Handle to input port instance
pkts	Burst of input packets
n_pkts	Number of packets in the input burst

Returns

0 on success, error code otherwise

typedef void*(* rte_port_out_op_create)(void *params, int socket_id)

Output port create

Parameters

params	Parameters for output port creation
socket_id	CPU socket ID (e.g. for memory allocation purpose)

Returns

Handle to output port instance

typedef int(* rte_port_out_op_flush)(void *port)

Output port flush

Parameters

port	Handle to output port instance

Returns

0 on success, error code otherwise

typedef int(* rte_port_out_op_free)(void *port)

Output port free

Parameters

port	Handle to output port instance

Returns

0 on success, error code otherwise

typedef int(* rte_port_out_op_tx)(void *port, struct rte_mbuf *pkt)

Output port single packet TX

Parameters

port	Handle to output port instance
pkt	Input packet

Returns

0 on success, error code otherwise

typedef int(* rte_port_out_op_tx_bulk)(void *port, struct rte_mbuf **pkt, uint64_t pkts_mask)

Output port packet burst TX

Parameters

port	Handle to output port instance
pkts	Burst of input packets specified as array of up to 64 pointers to struct rte_mbuf
pkts_mask	64-bit bitmask specifying which packets in the input burst are valid. When pkts_mask bit n is set, then element n of pkts array is pointing to a valid packet. Otherwise, element n of pkts array will not be accessed.

Returns

0 on success, error code otherwise
