Definition at line 166 of file rte_tm.h.

Congestion management (CMAN) mode

This is used for controlling the admission of packets into a packet queue or group of packet queues on congestion. On request of writing a new packet into the current queue while the queue is full, the tail drop algorithm drops the new packet while leaving the queue unmodified, as opposed to head drop algorithm, which drops the packet at the head of the queue (the oldest packet waiting in the queue) and admits the new packet at the tail of the queue.

The Random Early Detection (RED) algorithm works by proactively dropping more and more input packets as the queue occupancy builds up. When the queue is full or almost full, RED effectively works as tail drop. The Weighted RED algorithm uses a separate set of RED thresholds for each packet color.

Parameters
[in]port_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device.

uint32_t  priority,
uint32_t  weight,
uint32_t  level_id,
struct rte_tm_node_params params,
struct rte_tm_error error 
)

Traffic manager node add

Create new node and connect it as child of an existing node. The new node is further identified by node_id, which needs to be unused by any of the existing nodes. The parent node is identified by parent_node_id, which needs to be the valid ID of an existing non-leaf node. The parent node is going to use the provided SP priority and WFQ weight to schedule its new child node.

This function has to be called for both leaf and non-leaf nodes. In the case of leaf nodes (i.e. node_id is within the range of 0 .. (N-1), with N as the number of configured TX queues of the current port), the leaf node is configured rather than created (as the set of leaf nodes is predefined) and it is also connected as child of an existing node.

The first node that is added becomes the root node and all the nodes that are subsequently added have to be added as descendants of the root node. The parent of the root node has to be specified as RTE_TM_NODE_ID_NULL and there can only be one node with this parent ID (i.e. the root node). Further restrictions for root node: needs to be non-leaf, its private shaper profile needs to be valid and single rate, cannot use any shared shapers.

When called before rte_tm_hierarchy_commit() invocation, this function is typically used to define the initial start-up hierarchy for the port. Provided that dynamic hierarchy updates are supported by the current port (as advertised in the port capability set), this function can be also called after the rte_tm_hierarchy_commit() invocation.

Parameters
[in]port_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device.
[in]node_idNode ID. Needs to be unused by any of the existing nodes.
[in]parent_node_idParent node ID. Needs to be the valid.
[in]priorityNode priority. The highest node priority is zero. Used by the SP algorithm running on the parent of the current node for scheduling this child node.
[in]weightNode weight. The node weight is relative to the weight sum of all siblings that have the same priority. The lowest weight is one. Used by the WFQ algorithm running on the parent of the current node for scheduling this child node.
[in]level_idLevel ID that should be met by this node. The hierarchy level of the current node is already fully specified through its parent node (i.e. the level of this node is equal to the level of its parent node plus one), therefore the reason for providing this parameter is to enable the application to perform step-by-step checking of the node level during successive invocations of this function. When not desired, this check can be disabled by assigning value RTE_TM_NODE_LEVEL_ID_ANY to this parameter.
[in]paramsNode parameters. Needs to be pre-allocated and valid.
[out]errorError details. Filled in only on error, when not NULL.
Returns
0 on success, non-zero error code otherwise.

int rte_tm_hierarchy_commit ( uint16_t  port_id,
int  clear_on_fail,
struct rte_tm_error error 
)

Traffic manager hierarchy commit

This function is called during the port initialization phase (before the Ethernet port is started) to freeze the start-up hierarchy.

This function typically performs the following steps: a) It validates the start-up hierarchy that was previously defined for the current port through successive rte_tm_node_add() invocations; b) Assuming successful validation, it performs all the necessary port specific configuration operations to install the specified hierarchy on the current port, with immediate effect once the port is started.

This function fails when the currently configured hierarchy is not supported by the Ethernet port, in which case the user can abort or try out another hierarchy configuration (e.g. a hierarchy with less leaf nodes), which can be build from scratch (when clear_on_fail is enabled) or by modifying the existing hierarchy configuration (when clear_on_fail is disabled).

Note that this function can still fail due to other causes (e.g. not enough memory available in the system, etc), even though the specified hierarchy is supported in principle by the current port.

Parameters
[in]port_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device.
[in]clear_on_failOn function call failure, hierarchy is cleared when this parameter is non-zero and preserved when this parameter is equal to zero.
[out]errorError details. Filled in only on error, when not NULL.
Returns
0 on success, non-zero error code otherwise.

Traffic manager node parent update

This function may be used to move a node and its children to a different parent. Additionally, if the new parent is the same as the current parent, this function will update the priority/weight of an existing node.

Restriction for root node: its parent cannot be changed.

This function can only be called after the rte_tm_hierarchy_commit() invocation. Its success depends on the port support for this operation, as advertised through the port capability set.

Parameters
[in]port_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device.
[in]node_idNode ID. Needs to be valid.
[in]parent_node_idNode ID for the new parent. Needs to be valid.
[in]priorityNode priority. The highest node priority is zero. Used by the SP algorithm running on the parent of the current node for scheduling this child node.
[in]weightNode weight. The node weight is relative to the weight sum of all siblings that have the same priority. The lowest weight is zero. Used by the WFQ algorithm running on the parent of the current node for scheduling this child node.
[out]errorError details. Filled in only on error, when not NULL.
Returns
0 on success, non-zero error code otherwise.

Traffic manager packet marking - VLAN DEI (IEEE 802.1Q)

IEEE 802.1p maps the traffic class to the VLAN Priority Code Point (PCP) field (3 bits), while IEEE 802.1q maps the drop priority to the VLAN Drop Eligible Indicator (DEI) field (1 bit), which was previously named Canonical Format Indicator (CFI).

All VLAN frames of a given color get their DEI bit set if marking is enabled for this color; otherwise, their DEI bit is left as is (either set or not).

Parameters
[in]port_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device.
[in]mark_greenSet to non-zero value to enable marking of green packets and to zero to disable it.
[in]mark_yellowSet to non-zero value to enable marking of yellow packets and to zero to disable it.
[in]mark_redSet to non-zero value to enable marking of red packets and to zero to disable it.
[out]errorError details. Filled in only on error, when not NULL.
Returns
0 on success, non-zero error code otherwise.

Traffic manager packet marking - IPv4 / IPv6 ECN (IETF RFC 3168)

IETF RFCs 2474 and 3168 reorganize the IPv4 Type of Service (TOS) field (8 bits) and the IPv6 Traffic Class (TC) field (8 bits) into Differentiated Services Codepoint (DSCP) field (6 bits) and Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) field (2 bits). The DSCP field is typically used to encode the traffic class and/or drop priority (RFC 2597), while the ECN field is used by RFC 3168 to implement a congestion notification mechanism to be leveraged by transport layer protocols such as TCP and SCTP that have congestion control mechanisms.

When congestion is experienced, as alternative to dropping the packet, routers can change the ECN field of input packets from 2'b01 or 2'b10 (values indicating that source endpoint is ECN-capable) to 2'b11 (meaning that congestion is experienced). The destination endpoint can use the ECN-Echo (ECE) TCP flag to relay the congestion indication back to the source endpoint, which acknowledges it back to the destination endpoint with the Congestion Window Reduced (CWR) TCP flag.

All IPv4/IPv6 packets of a given color with ECN set to 2’b01 or 2’b10 carrying TCP or SCTP have their ECN set to 2’b11 if the marking feature is enabled for the current color, otherwise the ECN field is left as is.

Parameters
[in]port_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device.
[in]mark_greenSet to non-zero value to enable marking of green packets and to zero to disable it.
[in]mark_yellowSet to non-zero value to enable marking of yellow packets and to zero to disable it.
[in]mark_redSet to non-zero value to enable marking of red packets and to zero to disable it.
[out]errorError details. Filled in only on error, when not NULL.
Returns
0 on success, non-zero error code otherwise.

Traffic manager packet marking - IPv4 / IPv6 DSCP (IETF RFC 2597)

IETF RFC 2597 maps the traffic class and the drop priority to the IPv4/IPv6 Differentiated Services Codepoint (DSCP) field (6 bits). Here are the DSCP values proposed by this RFC:

                   Class 1    Class 2    Class 3    Class 4   
                 +----------+----------+----------+----------+
Low Drop Prec    |  001010  |  010010  |  011010  |  100010  |
Medium Drop Prec |  001100  |  010100  |  011100  |  100100  |
High Drop Prec   |  001110  |  010110  |  011110  |  100110  |
                 +----------+----------+----------+----------+

There are 4 traffic classes (classes 1 .. 4) encoded by DSCP bits 1 and 2, as well as 3 drop priorities (low/medium/high) encoded by DSCP bits 3 and 4.

All IPv4/IPv6 packets have their color marked into DSCP bits 3 and 4 as follows: green mapped to Low Drop Precedence (2’b01), yellow to Medium (2’b10) and red to High (2’b11). Marking needs to be explicitly enabled for each color; when not enabled for a given color, the DSCP field of all packets with that color is left as is.

Parameters
[in]port_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device.
[in]mark_greenSet to non-zero value to enable marking of green packets and to zero to disable it.
[in]mark_yellowSet to non-zero value to enable marking of yellow packets and to zero to disable it.
[in]mark_redSet to non-zero value to enable marking of red packets and to zero to disable it.
[out]errorError details. Filled in only on error, when not NULL.
Returns
0 on success, non-zero error code otherwise.
