As per my understanding payload = (uint8_t *)tcp_hdr + (tcp_hdr->data_off << 2);
should be payload = (uint8_t *)tcp_hdr + (tcp_hdr->data_off >> 4) << 2); Note that data offset is 4 most significant bits of the byte, refer tcp header On Thu, Dec 6, 2018 at 9:15 AM bai bakari <912873...@qq.com> wrote: > Hi, > > > Now, I want to get the data payload of rte_mbuf, and i wrote the following > code: > > > struct ipv4_hdr *ipv4_hdr; > struct tcp_hdr *tcp_hdr; > uint32_t payload_len, ip_len; > uint8_t *payload = NULL; > > > > ipv4_hdr = rte_pktmbuf_mtod_offset(m, struct ipv4_hdr *, sizeof(struct > ether_hdr)); > ip_len = ntohs(ipv4_hdr->total_length); > > > > if (ipv4_hdr->next_proto_id == IPPROTO_TCP) { > tcp_hdr = (struct tcp_hdr *)((uint8_t *)ipv4_hdr + > ((ipv4_hdr->version_ihl & 0xf) << 2)); > payload = (uint8_t *)tcp_hdr + (tcp_hdr->data_off << 2); > payload_len = ip_len - (payload - (uint8_t *)ipv4_hdr); > > } > > > when i send packets using dpdk-pktgen, i found: > ip_len = 46 > ip_header_len = 20 > but the tcp_header_len=(tcp_hdr->data_off << 2)=0, > and (payload - (uint8_t *)ipv4_hdr) = 340 > ip_len. > > > I'm confused, is there any errors about the code to compute the > payload_len of rte_mbuf? > I think maybe the dpdk-pktgen cannot send the packets with payload? > > > I'm a beginner, anyone can help me how to compute the payload_len of > rte_mbuf and test it? > > > Thank you in advance!
