The struct 'rte_eth_tunnel_flow' is only used by struct 'rte_eth_fdir_flow'
now, but its name is generic,
and I plan to extend new fileds like below to support generic configuration for
tunneling packet.
struct rte_eth_tunnel_flow {
enum rte_eth_fdir_tunnel_type tunnel_type; /**< Tunnel type to match. */
uint32_t tunnel_id; /**< Tunnel ID to match.
TNI, VNI... */
uint16_t flags;
struct ether_addr outer_mac_src;
struct ether_addr outer_mac_dst;
union {
struct rte_eth_ipv4_flow outer_ipv4;
struct rte_eth_ipv6_flow outer_ipv6;
};
uint16_t dst_port;
uint16_t src_port;
struct ether_addr mac_addr; /**< Mac address to match. */
union {
struct rte_eth_ipv4_flow ipv4;
struct rte_eth_ipv6_flow ipv6;
};
};
Note: It have not finalized yet.
