You don't have to create a new context, but you'll need to: delete all rules repopulate context with rules you'd like to keep build context. Or as you said - just create new context, populate it, build, destroy old one. > Also, this is more of a confirmation, but RTE_ACL_MAX_FIELDS is defined as > 64, so > I assume that for ipv4 we can have a tuple that's larger than 5? Yes, in theory up to 64 fields allowed, though on practice I never used more than 11 so far. Konstantin > > Thanks, > Jason
