I'm afraid not. These API only modify outer IP addresses.
I can think of two ways to achieve this:
1. Enhance these API to accept an additional flag to indicate
inner or outer. For example, to set inner IPv4 address, we can
set inner to 1 in following structure.
struct rte_flow_action_of_set_nw_ipv4 {
uint32_t inner:1; /* 1 - Inner, 0 - Outer */
uint32_t reserved:31;
uint32_t ipv4_addr;
};
2. Add new actions to indicate inner IP addresses; i.e.
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_OF_SET_INNER_NW_IPV4_SRC
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_OF_SET_INNER_NW_IPV4_DST
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_OF_SET_INNER_NW_IPV6_SRC
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_OF_SET_INNER_NW_IPV6_DST
Thanks,
Rahul
