279. Flow Filtering Tests¶

The Basic RTE flow filtering sample application is a simple example of a creating a RTE flow rule. It is intended as a demonstration of the basic components RTE flow rules. The Flow Filtering results are produced using ‘’flow’’ application:

./dpdk-flow_filtering -l 1 -n 1

There is a flow rule defined in the sample code. You can check the detailed information of the flow rule from http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/sample_app_ug/flow_filtering.html

The matching item is dst IP address: “192.168.1.1”. The match action is entering the queue 1. IGB not support flow example. ICE support flow example.

279.1. Prerequisites¶

The DUT must have one 10G Ethernet ports connected to one port on Tester that are controlled by packet generator:

dut_port_0 <---> tester_port_0

Assume the DUT 10G Ethernet ports’ pci device id is as the following:

dut_port_0 : "0000:05:00.0"
mac_address: "00:00:00:00:01:00"

Bind the port to dpdk igb_uio driver:

./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 05:00.0

279.2. Test Case: match rule¶

Start the application with default settings:
```
./dpdk-flow_filtering -l 1 -n 1
```

Send packets which matches the defined rule from tester:

Pkt1 = Ether(dst="00:00:00:00:01:00")/IP(src="0.0.0.0", dst="192.168.1.1") \
/Raw("x"*20)
Pkt2 = Ether(dst="00:00:00:00:01:00")/IP(src="0.0.0.1", dst="192.168.1.1") \
/Raw("x"*20)

Check the packets are received by queue 1:

src=A4:BF:01:07:47:C8 - dst=00:00:00:00:01:00 - queue=0x1
src=A4:BF:01:07:47:C8 - dst=00:00:00:00:01:00 - queue=0x1

279.3. Test Case: dismatch rule¶

Start the application with default settings:
```
./dpdk-flow_filtering -l 1 -n 1
```

Send packet which dismatches the defined rule from tester:

Pkt1 = Ether(dst="00:00:00:00:01:00")/IP(src="0.0.0.0", dst="192.168.1.2") \
/Raw("x"*20)

Check the packet is not received by queue 1:

src=A4:BF:01:07:47:C8 - dst=00:00:00:00:01:00 - queue=0x0
