+
+Command Line Sample Application
+===============================
+
+This chapter describes the Command Line sample application that
+is part of the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK).
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The Command Line sample application is a simple application that
+demonstrates the use of the command line interface in the DPDK.
+This application is a readline-like interface that can be used
+to debug a DPDK application, in a Linux* application environment.
+
+.. note::
+
+ The rte_cmdline library should not be used in production code since
+ it is not validated to the same standard as other DPDK libraries.
+ See also the "rte_cmdline library should not be used in production code due to limited testing" item
+ in the "Known Issues" section of the Release Notes.
+
+The Command Line sample application supports some of the features of the GNU readline library such as, completion,
+cut/paste and some other special bindings that make configuration and debug faster and easier.
+
+The application shows how the rte_cmdline application can be extended to handle a list of objects.
+There are three simple commands:
+
+* add obj_name IP: Add a new object with an IP/IPv6 address associated to it.
+
+* del obj_name: Delete the specified object.
+
+* show obj_name: Show the IP associated with the specified object.
+
+.. note::
+
+ To terminate the application, use **Ctrl-d**.
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+#. Go to example directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/cmdline
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+ Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+To run the application in linuxapp environment, issue the following command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ ./build/cmdline -c f -n 4
+
+Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running applications
+and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The following sections provide some explanation of the code.
+
+EAL Initialization and cmdline Start
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The first task is the initialization of the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL).
+This is achieved as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ int main(int argc, char **argv)
+ {
+ ret = rte_eal_init(argc, argv);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ rte_panic("Cannot init EAL\n");
+
+Then, a new command line object is created and started to interact with the user through the console:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ cl = cmdline_stdin_new(main_ctx, "example> ");
+ cmdline_interact(cl);
+ cmdline_stdin_exit(cl);
+
+The cmd line_interact() function returns when the user types **Ctrl-d** and in this case,
+the application exits.
+
+Defining a cmdline Context
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A cmdline context is a list of commands that are listed in a NULL-terminated table, for example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ cmdline_parse_ctx_t main_ctx[] = {
+ (cmdline_parse_inst_t *) &cmd_obj_del_show,
+ (cmdline_parse_inst_t *) &cmd_obj_add,
+ (cmdline_parse_inst_t *) &cmd_help,
+ NULL,
+ };
+
+Each command (of type cmdline_parse_inst_t) is defined statically.
+It contains a pointer to a callback function that is executed when the command is parsed,
+an opaque pointer, a help string and a list of tokens in a NULL-terminated table.
+
+The rte_cmdline application provides a list of pre-defined token types:
+
+* String Token: Match a static string, a list of static strings or any string.
+
+* Number Token: Match a number that can be signed or unsigned, from 8-bit to 32-bit.
+
+* IP Address Token: Match an IPv4 or IPv6 address or network.
+
+* Ethernet* Address Token: Match a MAC address.
+
+In this example, a new token type obj_list is defined and implemented
+in the parse_obj_list.c and parse_obj_list.h files.
+
+For example, the cmd_obj_del_show command is defined as shown below:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct cmd_obj_add_result {
+ cmdline_fixed_string_t action;
+ cmdline_fixed_string_t name;
+ struct object *obj;
+ };
+
+ static void cmd_obj_del_show_parsed(void *parsed_result, struct cmdline *cl, attribute ((unused)) void *data)
+ {
+ /* ... */
+ }
+
+ cmdline_parse_token_string_t cmd_obj_action = TOKEN_STRING_INITIALIZER(struct cmd_obj_del_show_result, action, "show#del");
+
+ parse_token_obj_list_t cmd_obj_obj = TOKEN_OBJ_LIST_INITIALIZER(struct cmd_obj_del_show_result, obj, &global_obj_list);
+
+ cmdline_parse_inst_t cmd_obj_del_show = {
+ .f = cmd_obj_del_show_parsed, /* function to call */
+ .data = NULL, /* 2nd arg of func */
+ .help_str = "Show/del an object",
+ .tokens = { /* token list, NULL terminated */
+ (void *)&cmd_obj_action,
+ (void *)&cmd_obj_obj,
+ NULL,
+ },
+ };
+
+This command is composed of two tokens:
+
+* The first token is a string token that can be show or del.
+
+* The second token is an object that was previously added using the add command in the global_obj_list variable.
+
+Once the command is parsed, the rte_cmdline application fills a cmd_obj_del_show_result structure.
+A pointer to this structure is given as an argument to the callback function and can be used in the body of this function.

+
+Distributor Sample Application
+==============================
+
+The distributor sample application is a simple example of packet distribution
+to cores using the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK).
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The distributor application performs the distribution of packets that are received
+on an RX_PORT to different cores. When processed by the cores, the destination
+port of a packet is the port from the enabled port mask adjacent to the one on
+which the packet was received, that is, if the first four ports are enabled
+(port mask 0xf), ports 0 and 1 RX/TX into each other, and ports 2 and 3 RX/TX
+into each other.
+
+This application can be used to benchmark performance using the traffic
+generator as shown in the figure below.
+
+.. _figure_dist_perf:
+
+.. figure:: img/dist_perf.*
+
+ Performance Benchmarking Setup (Basic Environment)
+
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+#. Go to the sample application directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/distributor
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+ See the DPDK Getting Started Guide for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+#. The application has a number of command line options:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/distributor_app [EAL options] -- -p PORTMASK
+
+ where,
+
+ * -p PORTMASK: Hexadecimal bitmask of ports to configure
+
+#. To run the application in linuxapp environment with 10 lcores, 4 ports,
+ issue the command:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ $ ./build/distributor_app -c 0x4003fe -n 4 -- -p f
+
+#. Refer to the DPDK Getting Started Guide for general information on running
+ applications and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The distributor application consists of three types of threads: a receive
+thread (lcore_rx()), a set of worker threads(lcore_worker())
+and a transmit thread(lcore_tx()). How these threads work together is shown
+in :numref:`figure_dist_app` below. The main() function launches threads of these three types.
+Each thread has a while loop which will be doing processing and which is
+terminated only upon SIGINT or ctrl+C. The receive and transmit threads
+communicate using a software ring (rte_ring structure).
+
+The receive thread receives the packets using rte_eth_rx_burst() and gives
+them to the distributor (using rte_distributor_process() API) which will
+be called in context of the receive thread itself. The distributor distributes
+the packets to workers threads based on the tagging of the packet -
+indicated by the hash field in the mbuf. For IP traffic, this field is
+automatically filled by the NIC with the "usr" hash value for the packet,
+which works as a per-flow tag.
+
+More than one worker thread can exist as part of the application, and these
+worker threads do simple packet processing by requesting packets from
+the distributor, doing a simple XOR operation on the input port mbuf field
+(to indicate the output port which will be used later for packet transmission)
+and then finally returning the packets back to the distributor in the RX thread.
+
+Meanwhile, the receive thread will call the distributor api
+rte_distributor_returned_pkts() to get the packets processed, and will enqueue
+them to a ring for transfer to the TX thread for transmission on the output port.
+The transmit thread will dequeue the packets from the ring and transmit them on
+the output port specified in packet mbuf.
+
+Users who wish to terminate the running of the application have to press ctrl+C
+(or send SIGINT to the app). Upon this signal, a signal handler provided
+in the application will terminate all running threads gracefully and print
+final statistics to the user.
+
+.. _figure_dist_app:
+
+.. figure:: img/dist_app.*
+
+ Distributor Sample Application Layout
+
+
+Debug Logging Support
+---------------------
+
+Debug logging is provided as part of the application; the user needs to uncomment
+the line "#define DEBUG" defined in start of the application in main.c to enable debug logs.
+
+Statistics
+----------
+
+Upon SIGINT (or) ctrl+C, the print_stats() function displays the count of packets
+processed at the different stages in the application.
+
+Application Initialization
+--------------------------
+
+Command line parsing is done in the same way as it is done in the L2 Forwarding Sample
+Application. See :ref:`l2_fwd_app_cmd_arguments`.
+
+Mbuf pool initialization is done in the same way as it is done in the L2 Forwarding
+Sample Application. See :ref:`l2_fwd_app_mbuf_init`.
+
+Driver Initialization is done in same way as it is done in the L2 Forwarding Sample
+Application. See :ref:`l2_fwd_app_dvr_init`.
+
+RX queue initialization is done in the same way as it is done in the L2 Forwarding
+Sample Application. See :ref:`l2_fwd_app_rx_init`.
+
+TX queue initialization is done in the same way as it is done in the L2 Forwarding
+Sample Application. See :ref:`l2_fwd_app_tx_init`.

+Ethtool Sample Application
+==========================
+
+The Ethtool sample application shows an implementation of an
+ethtool-like API and provides a console environment that allows
+its use to query and change Ethernet card parameters. The sample
+is based upon a simple L2 frame reflector.
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+To compile the application:
+
+#. Go to the sample application directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SD}/examples/ethtool
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+ See the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+The application requires an available core for each port, plus one.
+The only available options are the standard ones for the EAL:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./ethtool-app/ethtool-app/${RTE_TARGET}/ethtool [EAL options]
+
+Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on
+running applications and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL)
+options.
+
+Using the application
+---------------------
+
+The application is console-driven using the cmdline DPDK interface:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ EthApp>
+
+From this interface the available commands and descriptions of what
+they do as as follows:
+

+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The sample program has two parts: A background `packet reflector`_
+that runs on a slave core, and a foreground `Ethtool Shell`_ that
+runs on the master core. These are described below.
+
+Packet Reflector
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The background packet reflector is intended to demonstrate basic
+packet processing on NIC ports controlled by the Ethtool shim.
+Each incoming MAC frame is rewritten so that it is returned to
+the sender, using the port in question's own MAC address as the
+source address, and is then sent out on the same port.
+
+Ethtool Shell
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The foreground part of the Ethtool sample is a console-based
+interface that accepts commands as described in `using the
+application`_. Individual call-back functions handle the detail
+associated with each command, which make use of the functions
+defined in the `Ethtool interface`_ to the DPDK functions.
+
+Ethtool interface
+-----------------
+
+The Ethtool interface is built as a separate library, and implements
+the following functions:
+
+- ``rte_ethtool_get_drvinfo()``
+- ``rte_ethtool_get_regs_len()``
+- ``rte_ethtool_get_regs()``
+- ``rte_ethtool_get_link()``

+
+Exception Path Sample Application
+=================================
+
+The Exception Path sample application is a simple example that demonstrates the use of the DPDK
+to set up an exception path for packets to go through the Linux* kernel.
+This is done by using virtual TAP network interfaces.
+These can be read from and written to by the DPDK application and
+appear to the kernel as a standard network interface.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The application creates two threads for each NIC port being used.
+One thread reads from the port and writes the data unmodified to a thread-specific TAP interface.
+The second thread reads from a TAP interface and writes the data unmodified to the NIC port.
+
+The packet flow through the exception path application is as shown in the following figure.
+
+.. _figure_exception_path_example:
+
+.. figure:: img/exception_path_example.*
+
+ Packet Flow
+
+
+To make throughput measurements, kernel bridges must be setup to forward data between the bridges appropriately.
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+#. Go to example directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/exception_path
+
+#. Set the target (a default target will be used if not specified).
+ For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+This application is intended as a linuxapp only.
+See the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+The application requires a number of command line options:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ .build/exception_path [EAL options] -- -p PORTMASK -i IN_CORES -o OUT_CORES
+
+where:
+
+* -p PORTMASK: A hex bitmask of ports to use
+
+* -i IN_CORES: A hex bitmask of cores which read from NIC
+
+* -o OUT_CORES: A hex bitmask of cores which write to NIC
+
+Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running applications
+and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
+
+The number of bits set in each bitmask must be the same.
+The coremask -c parameter of the EAL options should include IN_CORES and OUT_CORES.
+The same bit must not be set in IN_CORES and OUT_CORES.
+The affinities between ports and cores are set beginning with the least significant bit of each mask, that is,
+the port represented by the lowest bit in PORTMASK is read from by the core represented by the lowest bit in IN_CORES,
+and written to by the core represented by the lowest bit in OUT_CORES.
+
+For example to run the application with two ports and four cores:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/exception_path -c f -n 4 -- -p 3 -i 3 -o c
+
+Getting Statistics
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+While the application is running, statistics on packets sent and
+received can be displayed by sending the SIGUSR1 signal to the application from another terminal:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ killall -USR1 exception_path
+
+The statistics can be reset by sending a SIGUSR2 signal in a similar way.
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The following sections provide some explanation of the code.
+
+Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Setup of the mbuf pool, driver and queues is similar to the setup done in the :ref:`l2_fwd_app_real_and_virtual`.
+In addition, the TAP interfaces must also be created.
+A TAP interface is created for each lcore that is being used.
+The code for creating the TAP interface is as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /*
+ * Create a tap network interface, or use existing one with same name.
+ * If name[0]='\0' then a name is automatically assigned and returned in name.
+ */
+
+ static int tap_create(char *name)
+ {
+ struct ifreq ifr;
+ int fd, ret;
+
+ fd = open("/dev/net/tun", O_RDWR);
+ if (fd < 0)
+ return fd;
+
+ memset(&ifr, 0, sizeof(ifr));
+
+ /* TAP device without packet information */
+
+ ifr.ifr_flags = IFF_TAP | IFF_NO_PI;
+ if (name && *name)
+ rte_snprinf(ifr.ifr_name, IFNAMSIZ, name);
+
+ ret = ioctl(fd, TUNSETIFF, (void *) &ifr);
+
+ if (ret < 0) {
+ close(fd);
+ return ret;
+
+ }
+
+ if (name)
+ snprintf(name, IFNAMSIZ, ifr.ifr_name);
+
+ return fd;
+ }
+
+The other step in the initialization process that is unique to this sample application
+is the association of each port with two cores:
+
+* One core to read from the port and write to a TAP interface
+
+* A second core to read from a TAP interface and write to the port
+
+This is done using an array called port_ids[], which is indexed by the lcore IDs.
+The population of this array is shown below:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ tx_port = 0;
+ rx_port = 0;
+
+ RTE_LCORE_FOREACH(i) {
+ if (input_cores_mask & (1ULL << i)) {
+ /* Skip ports that are not enabled */
+ while ((ports_mask & (1 << rx_port)) == 0) {
+ rx_port++;
+ if (rx_port > (sizeof(ports_mask) * 8))
+ goto fail; /* not enough ports */
+ }
+ port_ids[i] = rx_port++;
+ } else if (output_cores_mask & (1ULL << i)) {
+ /* Skip ports that are not enabled */
+ while ((ports_mask & (1 << tx_port)) == 0) {
+ tx_port++;
+ if (tx_port > (sizeof(ports_mask) * 8))
+ goto fail; /* not enough ports */
+ }
+ port_ids[i] = tx_port++;
+ }
+ }
+
+Packet Forwarding
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+After the initialization steps are complete, the main_loop() function is run on each lcore.
+This function first checks the lcore_id against the user provided input_cores_mask and output_cores_mask to see
+if this core is reading from or writing to a TAP interface.
+
+For the case that reads from a NIC port, the packet reception is the same as in the L2 Forwarding sample application
+(see :ref:`l2_fwd_app_rx_tx_packets`).
+The packet transmission is done by calling write() with the file descriptor of the appropriate TAP interface
+and then explicitly freeing the mbuf back to the pool.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* Loop forever reading from NIC and writing to tap */
+
+ for (;;) {
+ struct rte_mbuf *pkts_burst[PKT_BURST_SZ];
+ unsigned i;
+
+ const unsigned nb_rx = rte_eth_rx_burst(port_ids[lcore_id], 0, pkts_burst, PKT_BURST_SZ);
+
+ lcore_stats[lcore_id].rx += nb_rx;
+
+ for (i = 0; likely(i < nb_rx); i++) {
+ struct rte_mbuf *m = pkts_burst[i];
+ int ret = write(tap_fd, rte_pktmbuf_mtod(m, void*),
+
+ rte_pktmbuf_data_len(m));
+ rte_pktmbuf_free(m);
+ if (unlikely(ret<0))
+ lcore_stats[lcore_id].dropped++;
+ else
+ lcore_stats[lcore_id].tx++;
+ }
+ }
+
+For the other case that reads from a TAP interface and writes to a NIC port,
+packets are retrieved by doing a read() from the file descriptor of the appropriate TAP interface.
+This fills in the data into the mbuf, then other fields are set manually.
+The packet can then be transmitted as normal.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* Loop forever reading from tap and writing to NIC */
+
+ for (;;) {
+ int ret;
+ struct rte_mbuf *m = rte_pktmbuf_alloc(pktmbuf_pool);
+
+ if (m == NULL)
+ continue;
+
+ ret = read(tap_fd, m->pkt.data, MAX_PACKET_SZ); lcore_stats[lcore_id].rx++;
+ if (unlikely(ret < 0)) {
+ FATAL_ERROR("Reading from %s interface failed", tap_name);
+ }
+
+ m->pkt.nb_segs = 1;
+ m->pkt.next = NULL;
+ m->pkt.data_len = (uint16_t)ret;
+
+ ret = rte_eth_tx_burst(port_ids[lcore_id], 0, &m, 1);
+ if (unlikely(ret < 1)) {
+ rte_pktmuf_free(m);
+ lcore_stats[lcore_id].dropped++;
+ }
+ else {
+ lcore_stats[lcore_id].tx++;
+ }
+ }
+
+To set up loops for measuring throughput, TAP interfaces can be connected using bridging.
+The steps to do this are described in the section that follows.
+
+Managing TAP Interfaces and Bridges
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The Exception Path sample application creates TAP interfaces with names of the format tap_dpdk_nn,
+where nn is the lcore ID. These TAP interfaces need to be configured for use:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ifconfig tap_dpdk_00 up
+
+To set up a bridge between two interfaces so that packets sent to one interface can be read from another,
+use the brctl tool:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ brctl addbr "br0"
+ brctl addif br0 tap_dpdk_00
+ brctl addif br0 tap_dpdk_03
+ ifconfig br0 up
+
+The TAP interfaces created by this application exist only when the application is running,
+so the steps above need to be repeated each time the application is run.
+To avoid this, persistent TAP interfaces can be created using openvpn:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ openvpn --mktun --dev tap_dpdk_00
+
+If this method is used, then the steps above have to be done only once and
+the same TAP interfaces can be reused each time the application is run.
+To remove bridges and persistent TAP interfaces, the following commands are used:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ifconfig br0 down
+ brctl delbr br0
+ openvpn --rmtun --dev tap_dpdk_00
+

+Hello World Sample Application
+==============================
+
+The Hello World sample application is an example of the simplest DPDK application that can be written.
+The application simply prints an "helloworld" message on every enabled lcore.
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+#. Go to the example directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/helloworld
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+ See the *DPDK Getting Started* Guide for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+To run the example in a linuxapp environment:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ ./build/helloworld -c f -n 4
+
+Refer to *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running applications
+and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The following sections provide some explanation of code.
+
+EAL Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The first task is to initialize the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL).
+This is done in the main() function using the following code:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ int
+
+ main(int argc, char **argv)
+
+ {
+ ret = rte_eal_init(argc, argv);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ rte_panic("Cannot init EAL\n");
+
+This call finishes the initialization process that was started before main() is called (in case of a Linuxapp environment).
+The argc and argv arguments are provided to the rte_eal_init() function.
+The value returned is the number of parsed arguments.
+
+Starting Application Unit Lcores
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Once the EAL is initialized, the application is ready to launch a function on an lcore.
+In this example, lcore_hello() is called on every available lcore.
+The following is the definition of the function:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static int
+ lcore_hello( attribute ((unused)) void *arg)
+ {
+ unsigned lcore_id;
+
+ lcore_id = rte_lcore_id();
+ printf("hello from core %u\n", lcore_id);
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+The code that launches the function on each lcore is as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* call lcore_hello() on every slave lcore */
+
+ RTE_LCORE_FOREACH_SLAVE(lcore_id) {
+ rte_eal_remote_launch(lcore_hello, NULL, lcore_id);
+ }
+
+ /* call it on master lcore too */
+
+ lcore_hello(NULL);
+
+The following code is equivalent and simpler:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ rte_eal_mp_remote_launch(lcore_hello, NULL, CALL_MASTER);
+
+Refer to the *DPDK API Reference* for detailed information on the rte_eal_mp_remote_launch() function.

+Intel® QuickAssist Technology Sample Application
+================================================
+
+This sample application demonstrates the use of the cryptographic operations provided
+by the Intel® QuickAssist Technology from within the DPDK environment.
+Therefore, building and running this application requires having both the DPDK and
+the QuickAssist Technology Software Library installed, as well as at least one
+Intel® QuickAssist Technology hardware device present in the system.
+
+For this sample application, there is a dependency on either of:
+
+* Intel® Communications Chipset 8900 to 8920 Series Software for Linux* package
+
+* Intel® Communications Chipset 8925 to 8955 Series Software for Linux* package
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+An overview of the application is provided in :numref:`figure_quickassist_block_diagram`.
+For simplicity, only two NIC ports and one Intel® QuickAssist Technology device are shown in this diagram,
+although the number of NIC ports and Intel® QuickAssist Technology devices can be different.
+
+.. _figure_quickassist_block_diagram:
+
+.. figure:: img/quickassist_block_diagram.*
+
+ Intel® QuickAssist Technology Application Block Diagram
+
+
+The application allows the configuration of the following items:
+
+* Number of NIC ports
+
+* Number of logical cores (lcores)
+
+* Mapping of NIC RX queues to logical cores
+
+Each lcore communicates with every cryptographic acceleration engine in the system through a pair of dedicated input - output queues.
+Each lcore has a dedicated NIC TX queue with every NIC port in the system.
+Therefore, each lcore reads packets from its NIC RX queues and cryptographic accelerator output queues and
+writes packets to its NIC TX queues and cryptographic accelerator input queues.
+
+Each incoming packet that is read from a NIC RX queue is either directly forwarded to its destination NIC TX port (forwarding path)
+or first sent to one of the Intel® QuickAssist Technology devices for either encryption or decryption
+before being sent out on its destination NIC TX port (cryptographic path).
+
+The application supports IPv4 input packets only.
+For each input packet, the decision between the forwarding path and
+the cryptographic path is taken at the classification stage based on the value of the IP source address field read from the input packet.
+Assuming that the IP source address is A.B.C.D, then if:
+
+* D = 0: the forwarding path is selected (the packet is forwarded out directly)
+
+* D = 1: the cryptographic path for encryption is selected (the packet is first encrypted and then forwarded out)
+
+* D = 2: the cryptographic path for decryption is selected (the packet is first decrypted and then forwarded out)
+
+For the cryptographic path cases (D = 1 or D = 2), byte C specifies the cipher algorithm and
+byte B the cryptographic hash algorithm to be used for the current packet.
+Byte A is not used and can be any value.
+The cipher and cryptographic hash algorithms supported by this application are listed in the crypto.h header file.
+
+For each input packet, the destination NIC TX port is decided at the forwarding stage (executed after the cryptographic stage,
+if enabled for the packet) by looking at the RX port index of the dst_ports[ ] array,
+which was initialized at startup, being the outport the adjacent enabled port.
+For example, if ports 1,3,5 and 6 are enabled, for input port 1, outport port will be 3 and vice versa,
+and for input port 5, output port will be 6 and vice versa.
+
+For the cryptographic path, it is the payload of the IPv4 packet that is encrypted or decrypted.
+

+ make
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+Intel® QuickAssist Technology Configuration Files
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The Intel® QuickAssist Technology configuration files used by the application are located in the config_files folder in the application folder.
+There following sets of configuration files are included in the DPDK package:
+
+* Stargo CRB (single CPU socket): located in the stargo folder
+
+ * dh89xxcc_qa_dev0.conf
+
+* Shumway CRB (dual CPU socket): located in the shumway folder
+
+ * dh89xxcc_qa_dev0.conf
+
+ * dh89xxcc_qa_dev1.conf
+
+* Coleto Creek: located in the coleto folder
+
+ * dh895xcc_qa_dev0.conf
+
+The relevant configuration file(s) must be copied to the /etc/ directory.
+
+Please note that any change to these configuration files requires restarting the Intel®
+QuickAssist Technology driver using the following command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ # service qat_service restart
+
+Refer to the following documents for information on the Intel® QuickAssist Technology configuration files:
+
+* Intel® Communications Chipset 8900 to 8920 Series Software Programmer's Guide
+
+* Intel® Communications Chipset 8925 to 8955 Series Software Programmer's Guide
+
+* Intel® Communications Chipset 8900 to 8920 Series Software for Linux* Getting Started Guide.
+
+* Intel® Communications Chipset 8925 to 8955 Series Software for Linux* Getting Started Guide.
+
+Traffic Generator Setup and Application Startup
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The application has a number of command line options:
+
+ dpdk_qat [EAL options] -- -p PORTMASK [--no-promisc] [--config '(port,queue,lcore)[,(port,queue,lcore)]']
+
+where,
+
+* -p PORTMASK: Hexadecimal bitmask of ports to configure
+
+* --no-promisc: Disables promiscuous mode for all ports,
+ so that only packets with the Ethernet MAC destination address set to the Ethernet address of the port are accepted.
+ By default promiscuous mode is enabled so that packets are accepted regardless of the packet's Ethernet MAC destination address.
+
+* --config'(port,queue,lcore)[,(port,queue,lcore)]': determines which queues from which ports are mapped to which cores.
+
+Refer to the :doc:`l3_forward` for more detailed descriptions of the --config command line option.
+
+As an example, to run the application with two ports and two cores,
+which are using different Intel® QuickAssist Technology execution engines,
+performing AES-CBC-128 encryption with AES-XCBC-MAC-96 hash, the following settings can be used:
+
+* Traffic generator source IP address: 0.9.6.1
+
+* Command line:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/dpdk_qat -c 0xff -n 2 -- -p 0x3 --config '(0,0,1),(1,0,2)'
+
+Refer to the *DPDK Test Report* for more examples of traffic generator setup and the application startup command lines.
+If no errors are generated in response to the startup commands, the application is running correctly.

+
+IP Fragmentation Sample Application
+===================================
+
+The IPv4 Fragmentation application is a simple example of packet processing
+using the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK).
+The application does L3 forwarding with IPv4 and IPv6 packet fragmentation.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The application demonstrates the use of zero-copy buffers for packet fragmentation.
+The initialization and run-time paths are very similar to those of the :doc:`l2_forward_real_virtual`.
+This guide highlights the differences between the two applications.
+
+There are three key differences from the L2 Forwarding sample application:
+
+* The first difference is that the IP Fragmentation sample application makes use of indirect buffers.
+
+* The second difference is that the forwarding decision is taken
+ based on information read from the input packet's IP header.
+
+* The third difference is that the application differentiates between
+ IP and non-IP traffic by means of offload flags.
+
+The Longest Prefix Match (LPM for IPv4, LPM6 for IPv6) table is used to store/lookup an outgoing port number,
+associated with that IP address.
+Any unmatched packets are forwarded to the originating port.
+
+By default, input frame sizes up to 9.5 KB are supported.
+Before forwarding, the input IP packet is fragmented to fit into the "standard" Ethernet* v2 MTU (1500 bytes).
+
+Building the Application
+------------------------
+
+To build the application:
+
+#. Go to the sample application directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/ip_fragmentation
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+See the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+The LPM object is created and loaded with the pre-configured entries read from
+global l3fwd_ipv4_route_array and l3fwd_ipv6_route_array tables.
+For each input packet, the packet forwarding decision
+(that is, the identification of the output interface for the packet) is taken as a result of LPM lookup.
+If the IP packet size is greater than default output MTU,
+then the input packet is fragmented and several fragments are sent via the output interface.
+
+Application usage:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/ip_fragmentation [EAL options] -- -p PORTMASK [-q NQ]
+
+where:
+
+* -p PORTMASK is a hexadecimal bitmask of ports to configure
+
+* -q NQ is the number of queue (=ports) per lcore (the default is 1)
+
+To run the example in linuxapp environment with 2 lcores (2,4) over 2 ports(0,2) with 1 RX queue per lcore:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/ip_fragmentation -c 0x14 -n 3 -- -p 5
+ EAL: coremask set to 14
+ EAL: Detected lcore 0 on socket 0
+ EAL: Detected lcore 1 on socket 1
+ EAL: Detected lcore 2 on socket 0
+ EAL: Detected lcore 3 on socket 1
+ EAL: Detected lcore 4 on socket 0
+ ...
+
+ Initializing port 0 on lcore 2... Address:00:1B:21:76:FA:2C, rxq=0 txq=2,0 txq=4,1
+ done: Link Up - speed 10000 Mbps - full-duplex
+ Skipping disabled port 1
+ Initializing port 2 on lcore 4... Address:00:1B:21:5C:FF:54, rxq=0 txq=2,0 txq=4,1
+ done: Link Up - speed 10000 Mbps - full-duplex
+ Skipping disabled port 3IP_FRAG: Socket 0: adding route 100.10.0.0/16 (port 0)
+ IP_FRAG: Socket 0: adding route 100.20.0.0/16 (port 1)
+ ...
+ IP_FRAG: Socket 0: adding route 0101:0101:0101:0101:0101:0101:0101:0101/48 (port 0)
+ IP_FRAG: Socket 0: adding route 0201:0101:0101:0101:0101:0101:0101:0101/48 (port 1)
+ ...
+ IP_FRAG: entering main loop on lcore 4
+ IP_FRAG: -- lcoreid=4 portid=2
+ IP_FRAG: entering main loop on lcore 2
+ IP_FRAG: -- lcoreid=2 portid=0
+
+To run the example in linuxapp environment with 1 lcore (4) over 2 ports(0,2) with 2 RX queues per lcore:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/ip_fragmentation -c 0x10 -n 3 -- -p 5 -q 2
+
+To test the application, flows should be set up in the flow generator that match the values in the
+l3fwd_ipv4_route_array and/or l3fwd_ipv6_route_array table.
+
+The default l3fwd_ipv4_route_array table is:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct l3fwd_ipv4_route l3fwd_ipv4_route_array[] = {
+ {IPv4(100, 10, 0, 0), 16, 0},
+ {IPv4(100, 20, 0, 0), 16, 1},
+ {IPv4(100, 30, 0, 0), 16, 2},
+ {IPv4(100, 40, 0, 0), 16, 3},
+ {IPv4(100, 50, 0, 0), 16, 4},
+ {IPv4(100, 60, 0, 0), 16, 5},
+ {IPv4(100, 70, 0, 0), 16, 6},
+ {IPv4(100, 80, 0, 0), 16, 7},
+ };
+
+The default l3fwd_ipv6_route_array table is:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct l3fwd_ipv6_route l3fwd_ipv6_route_array[] = {
+ {{1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1}, 48, 0},
+ {{2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1}, 48, 1},
+ {{3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1}, 48, 2},
+ {{4, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1}, 48, 3},
+ {{5, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1}, 48, 4},
+ {{6, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1}, 48, 5},
+ {{7, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1}, 48, 6},
+ {{8, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1}, 48, 7},
+ };
+
+For example, for the input IPv4 packet with destination address: 100.10.1.1 and packet length 9198 bytes,
+seven IPv4 packets will be sent out from port #0 to the destination address 100.10.1.1:
+six of those packets will have length 1500 bytes and one packet will have length 318 bytes.
+IP Fragmentation sample application provides basic NUMA support
+in that all the memory structures are allocated on all sockets that have active lcores on them.
+
+
+Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running applications
+and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.

+
+Internet Protocol (IP) Pipeline Application
+===========================================
+
+Application overview
+--------------------
+
+The *Internet Protocol (IP) Pipeline* application is intended to be a vehicle for rapid development of packet processing
+applications running on multi-core CPUs.
+
+The application provides a library of reusable functional blocks called pipelines.
+These pipelines can be seen as prefabricated blocks that can be instantiated and inter-connected through packet queues
+to create complete applications (super-pipelines).
+
+Pipelines are created and inter-connected through the application configuration file.
+By using different configuration files, different applications are effectively created, therefore this application
+can be seen as an application generator.
+The configuration of each pipeline can be updated at run-time through the application Command Line Interface (CLI).
+
+Main application components are:
+
+**A Library of reusable pipelines**
+
+ * Each pipeline represents a functional block, e.g. flow classification, firewall, routing, master, etc.
+
+ * Each pipeline type can be instantiated several times in the same application, which each instance configured
+ separately and mapped to a single CPU core.
+ Each CPU core can run one or several pipeline instances, which can be of same or different type.
+
+ * Pipeline instances are inter-connected through packet queues (for packet processing) and message queues
+ (for run-time configuration).
+
+ * Pipelines are implemented using DPDK Packet Framework.
+
+ * More pipeline types can always be built and added to the existing pipeline types.
+
+**The Configuration file**
+
+ * The configuration file defines the application structure.
+ By using different configuration files, different applications are created.
+
+ * All the application resources are created and configured through the application configuration file:
+ pipeline instances, buffer pools, links (i.e. network interfaces), hardware device RX/TX queues,
+ software queues, traffic manager devices, EAL startup arguments, etc.
+
+ * The configuration file syntax is “define by reference”, meaning that resources are defined as they are referenced.
+ First time a resource name is detected, it is registered with default parameters.
+ Optionally, the resource parameters can be further refined through a configuration file section dedicated to
+ that resource.
+
+ * Command Line Interface (CLI)
+
+**Global CLI commands: link configuration, etc.**
+
+ * Common pipeline CLI commands: ping (keep-alive), statistics, etc.
+
+ * Pipeline type specific CLI commands: used to configure instances of specific pipeline type.
+ These commands are registered with the application when the pipeline type is registered.
+ For example, the commands for routing pipeline instances include: route add, route delete, route list, etc.
+
+ * CLI commands can be grouped into scripts that can be invoked at initialization and at runtime.
+
+
+Design goals
+------------
+
+
+Rapid development
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This application enables rapid development through quick connectivity of standard components called pipelines.
+These components are built using DPDK Packet Framework and encapsulate packet processing features at different levels:
+ports, tables, actions, pipelines and complete applications.
+
+Pipeline instances are instantiated, configured and inter-connected through low complexity configuration files loaded
+during application initialization.
+Each pipeline instance is mapped to a single CPU core, with each CPU core able to run one or multiple pipeline
+instances of same or different types. By loading a different configuration file, a different application is
+effectively started.
+
+
+Flexibility
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Each packet processing application is typically represented as a chain of functional stages which is often called
+the functional pipeline of the application.
+These stages are mapped to CPU cores to create chains of CPU cores (pipeline model), clusters of CPU cores
+(run-to-completion model) or chains of clusters of CPU cores (hybrid model).
+
+This application allows all the above programming models.
+By applying changes to the configuration file, the application provides the flexibility to reshuffle its
+building blocks in different ways until the configuration providing the best performance is identified.
+
+
+Move pipelines around
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The mapping of pipeline instances to CPU cores can be reshuffled through the configuration file.
+One or several pipeline instances can be mapped to the same CPU core.
+
+.. _figure_ip_pipelines_1:
+
+.. figure:: img/ip_pipelines_1.*
+
+ Example of moving pipeline instances across different CPU cores
+
+
+Move tables around
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+There is some degree of flexibility for moving tables from one pipeline instance to another.
+Based on the configuration arguments passed to each pipeline instance in the configuration file, specific tables
+can be enabled or disabled.
+This way, a specific table can be “moved” from pipeline instance A to pipeline instance B by simply disabling its
+associated functionality for pipeline instance A while enabling it for pipeline instance B.
+
+Due to requirement to have simple syntax for the configuration file, moving tables across different pipeline
+instances is not as flexible as the mapping of pipeline instances to CPU cores, or mapping actions to pipeline tables.
+Complete flexibility in moving tables from one pipeline to another could be achieved through a complex pipeline
+description language that would detail the structural elements of the pipeline (ports, tables and actions) and
+their connectivity, resulting in complex syntax for the configuration file, which is not acceptable.
+Good configuration file readability through simple syntax is preferred.
+
+*Example*: the IP routing pipeline can run the routing function only (with ARP function run by a different
+pipeline instance), or it can run both the routing and ARP functions as part of the same pipeline instance.
+
+
+.. _figure_ip_pipelines_2:
+
+.. figure:: img/ip_pipelines_2.*
+
+ Example of moving tables across different pipeline instances
+
+
+Move actions around
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+When it makes sense, packet processing actions can be moved from one pipeline instance to another.
+Based on the configuration arguments passed to each pipeline instance in the configuration file, specific actions
+can be enabled or disabled.
+This way, a specific action can be "moved" from pipeline instance A to pipeline instance B by simply disabling its
+associated functionality for pipeline instance A while enabling it for pipeline instance B.
+
+*Example*: The flow actions of accounting, traffic metering, application identification, NAT, etc can be run as part
+of the flow classification pipeline instance or split across several flow actions pipeline instances, depending on
+the number of flow instances and their compute requirements.
+

+
+
+Performance
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Performance of the application is the highest priority requirement.
+Flexibility is not provided at the expense of performance.
+
+The purpose of flexibility is to provide an incremental development methodology that allows monitoring the
+performance evolution:
+
+* Apply incremental changes in the configuration (e.g. mapping on pipeline instances to CPU cores)
+ in order to identify the configuration providing the best performance for a given application;
+
+* Add more processing incrementally (e.g. by enabling more actions for specific pipeline instances) until
+ the application is feature complete while checking the performance impact at each step.
+
+
+Debug capabilities
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The application provides a significant set of debug capabilities:
+
+* Command Line Interface (CLI) support for statistics polling: pipeline instance ping (keep-alive checks),
+ pipeline instance statistics per input port/output port/table, link statistics, etc;
+
+* Logging: Turn on/off application log messages based on priority level;
+
+Running the application
+-----------------------
+
+The application startup command line is::
+
+ ip_pipeline [-f CONFIG_FILE] [-s SCRIPT_FILE] -p PORT_MASK [-l LOG_LEVEL]
+
+The application startup arguments are:
+
+``-f CONFIG_FILE``
+
+ * Optional: Yes
+
+ * Default: ``./config/ip_pipeline.cfg``
+
+ * Argument: Path to the configuration file to be loaded by the application.
+ Please refer to the :ref:`ip_pipeline_configuration_file` for details on how to write the configuration file.
+
+``-s SCRIPT_FILE``
+
+ * Optional: Yes
+
+ * Default: Not present
+
+ * Argument: Path to the CLI script file to be run by the master pipeline at application startup.
+ No CLI script file will be run at startup of this argument is not present.
+
+``-p PORT_MASK``
+
+ * Optional: No
+
+ * Default: N/A
+
+ * Argument: Hexadecimal mask of NIC port IDs to be used by the application.
+ First port enabled in this mask will be referenced as LINK0 as part of the application configuration file,
+ next port as LINK1, etc.
+
+``-l LOG_LEVEL``
+
+ * Optional: Yes
+
+ * Default: 1 (High priority)
+
+ * Argument: Log level to determine which application messages are to be printed to standard output.
+ Available log levels are: 0 (None), 1 (High priority), 2 (Low priority).
+ Only application messages whose priority is higher than or equal to the application log level will be printed.
+
+
+Application stages
+------------------
+
+
+Configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+During this stage, the application configuration file is parsed and its content is loaded into the application data
+structures.
+In case of any configuration file parse error, an error message is displayed and the application is terminated.
+Please refer to the :ref:`ip_pipeline_configuration_file` for a description of the application configuration file format.
+
+
+Configuration checking
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In the absence of any parse errors, the loaded content of application data structures is checked for overall consistency.
+In case of any configuration check error, an error message is displayed and the application is terminated.
+
+
+Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+During this stage, the application resources are initialized and the handles to access them are saved into the
+application data structures.
+In case of any initialization error, an error message is displayed and the application is terminated.
+
+The typical resources to be initialized are: pipeline instances, buffer pools, links (i.e. network interfaces),
+hardware device RX/TX queues, software queues, traffic management devices, etc.
+
+
+.. _ip_pipeline_runtime:
+
+Run-time
+~~~~~~~~
+
+Each CPU core runs the pipeline instances assigned to it in time sharing mode and in round robin order:
+
+1. *Packet processing task*: The pipeline run-time code is typically a packet *processing* task built on top of
+ DPDK Packet Framework rte_pipeline library, which reads bursts of packets from the pipeline input ports,
+ performs table lookups and executes the identified actions for all tables in the pipeline, with packet
+ eventually written to pipeline output ports or dropped.
+
+2. *Message handling task*: Each CPU core will also periodically execute the *message handling* code of each
+ of the pipelines mapped to it.
+ The pipeline message handling code is processing the messages that are pending in the pipeline input message
+ queues, which are typically sent by the master CPU core for the on-the-fly pipeline configuration: check
+ that pipeline is still alive (ping), add/delete entries in the pipeline tables, get statistics, etc.
+ The frequency of executing the message handling code is usually much smaller than the frequency of executing
+ the packet processing work.
+
+Please refer to the :ref:`ip_pipeline_pipeline_section` for more details about the application pipeline module encapsulation.
+
+.. _ip_pipeline_configuration_file:
+
+Configuration file syntax
+-------------------------
+
+Syntax overview
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The syntax of the configuration file is designed to be simple, which favors readability.
+The configuration file is parsed using the DPDK library librte_cfgfile, which supports simple
+`INI file format <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file>`__ for configuration files.
+
+As result, the configuration file is split into several sections, with each section containing one or more entries.
+The scope of each entry is its section, and each entry specifies a variable that is assigned a specific value.
+Any text after the ``;`` character is considered a comment and is therefore ignored.
+
+The following are application specific: number of sections, name of each section, number of entries of each section,
+name of the variables used for each section entry, the value format (e.g. signed/unsigned integer, string, etc)
+and range of each section entry variable.
+
+Generic example of configuration file section:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ [<section_name>]
+
+ <variable_name_1> = <value_1>
+
+ ...
+
+ <variable_name_N> = <value_N>
+
+
+Application resources present in the configuration file
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. _table_ip_pipelines_resource_name:
+
+.. tabularcolumns:: |p{4cm}|p{6cm}|p{6cm}|
+
+.. table:: Application resource names in the configuration file
+
+ +--------------------------+-----------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
+ | Resource type | Format | Examples |
+ +==========================+=============================+=================================================+
+ | Pipeline | ``PIPELINE<ID>`` | ``PIPELINE0``, ``PIPELINE1`` |
+ +--------------------------+-----------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
+ | Mempool | ``MEMPOOL<ID>`` | ``MEMPOOL0``, ``MEMPOOL1`` |
+ +--------------------------+-----------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
+ | Link (network interface) | ``LINK<ID>`` | ``LINK0``, ``LINK1`` |
+ +--------------------------+-----------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
+ | Link RX queue | ``RXQ<LINK_ID>.<QUEUE_ID>`` | ``RXQ0.0``, ``RXQ1.5`` |
+ +--------------------------+-----------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
+ | Link TX queue | ``TXQ<LINK_ID>.<QUEUE_ID>`` | ``TXQ0.0``, ``TXQ1.5`` |
+ +--------------------------+-----------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
+ | Software queue | ``SWQ<ID>`` | ``SWQ0``, ``SWQ1`` |
+ +--------------------------+-----------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
+ | Traffic Manager | ``TM<LINK_ID>`` | ``TM0``, ``TM1`` |
+ +--------------------------+-----------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
+ | Source | ``SOURCE<ID>`` | ``SOURCE0``, ``SOURCE1`` |
+ +--------------------------+-----------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
+ | Sink | ``SINK<ID>`` | ``SINK0``, ``SINK1`` |
+ +--------------------------+-----------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
+ | Message queue | ``MSGQ<ID>`` | ``MSGQ0``, ``MSGQ1``, |
+ | | ``MSGQ-REQ-PIPELINE<ID>`` | ``MSGQ-REQ-PIPELINE2``, ``MSGQ-RSP-PIPELINE2,`` |
+ | | ``MSGQ-RSP-PIPELINE<ID>`` | ``MSGQ-REQ-CORE-s0c1``, ``MSGQ-RSP-CORE-s0c1`` |
+ | | ``MSGQ-REQ-CORE-<CORE_ID>`` | |
+ | | ``MSGQ-RSP-CORE-<CORE_ID>`` | |
+ +--------------------------+-----------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
+
+``LINK`` instances are created implicitly based on the ``PORT_MASK`` application startup argument.
+``LINK0`` is the first port enabled in the ``PORT_MASK``, port 1 is the next one, etc.
+The LINK ID is different than the DPDK PMD-level NIC port ID, which is the actual position in the bitmask mentioned above.
+For example, if bit 5 is the first bit set in the bitmask, then ``LINK0`` is having the PMD ID of 5.
+This mechanism creates a contiguous LINK ID space and isolates the configuration file against changes in the board
+PCIe slots where NICs are plugged in.
+
+``RXQ``, ``TXQ`` and ``TM`` instances have the LINK ID as part of their name.
+For example, ``RXQ2.1``, ``TXQ2.1`` and ``TM2`` are all associated with ``LINK2``.
+
+
+Rules to parse the configuration file
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The main rules used to parse the configuration file are:
+
+1. Application resource name determines the type of resource based on the name prefix.
+
+ *Example*: all software queues need to start with ``SWQ`` prefix, so ``SWQ0`` and ``SWQ5`` are valid software
+ queue names.
+
+2. An application resource is defined by creating a configuration file section with its name.
+ The configuration file section allows fine tuning on any of the resource parameters.
+ Some resource parameters are mandatory, in which case it is required to have them specified as part of the
+ section, while some others are optional, in which case they get assigned their default value when not present.
+
+ *Example*: section ``SWQ0`` defines a software queue named SWQ0, whose parameters are detailed as part of this section.
+
+3. An application resource can also be defined by referencing it.
+ Referencing a resource takes place by simply using its name as part of the value assigned to a variable in any
+ configuration file section.
+ In this case, the resource is registered with all its parameters having their default values.
+ Optionally, a section with the resource name can be added to the configuration file to fine tune some or all
+ of the resource parameters.
+
+ *Example*: in section ``PIPELINE3``, variable ``pktq_in`` includes ``SWQ5`` as part of its list, which results
+ in defining a software queue named ``SWQ5``; when there is no ``SWQ5`` section present in the configuration file,
+ ``SWQ5`` gets registered with default parameters.

+
+Library of pipeline types
+-------------------------
+
+Pipeline module
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A pipeline is a self-contained module that implements a packet processing function and is typically implemented on
+top of the DPDK Packet Framework *librte_pipeline* library.
+The application provides a run-time mechanism to register different pipeline types.
+
+Depending on the required configuration, each registered pipeline type (pipeline class) is instantiated one or
+several times, with each pipeline instance (pipeline object) assigned to one of the available CPU cores.
+Each CPU core can run one or more pipeline instances, which might be of same or different types.
+For more information of the CPU core threading model, please refer to the :ref:`ip_pipeline_runtime` section.
+
+
+Pipeline type
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Each pipeline type is made up of a back-end and a front-end. The back-end represents the packet processing engine
+of the pipeline, typically implemented using the DPDK Packet Framework libraries, which reads packets from the
+input packet queues, handles them and eventually writes them to the output packet queues or drops them.
+The front-end represents the run-time configuration interface of the pipeline, which is exposed as CLI commands.
+The front-end communicates with the back-end through message queues.

+
+
+Tracking pipeline output port to physical link
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Each pipeline instance is a standalone block that does not have visibility into the other pipeline instances or
+the application-level pipeline inter-connectivity.
+In some cases, it is useful for a pipeline instance to get application level information related to pipeline
+connectivity, such as to identify the output link (e.g. physical NIC port) where one of its output ports connected,
+either directly or indirectly by traversing other pipeline instances.
+
+Tracking can be successful or unsuccessful.
+Typically, tracking for a specific pipeline instance is successful when each one of its input ports can be mapped
+to a single output port, meaning that all packets read from the current input port can only go out on a single
+output port.
+Depending on the pipeline type, some exceptions may be allowed: a small portion of the packets, considered exception
+packets, are sent out on an output port that is pre-configured for this purpose.
+
+For pass-through pipeline type, the tracking is always successful.
+For pipeline types as flow classification, firewall or routing, the tracking is only successful when the number of
+output ports for the current pipeline instance is 1.
+
+This feature is used by the IP routing pipeline for adding/removing implicit routes every time a link is brought
+up/down.
+
+
+Table copies
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Fast table copy: pipeline table used by pipeline for the packet processing task, updated through messages, table
+data structures are optimized for lookup operation.
+
+Slow table copy: used by the configuration layer, typically updated through CLI commands, kept in sync with the fast
+copy (its update triggers the fast copy update).
+Required for executing advanced table queries without impacting the packet processing task, therefore the slow copy
+is typically organized using different criteria than the fast copy.
+
+Examples:
+
+* Flow classification: Search through current set of flows (e.g. list all flows with a specific source IP address);
+
+* Firewall: List rules in descending order of priority;
+
+* Routing table: List routes sorted by prefix depth and their type (local, remote, default);
+
+* ARP: List entries sorted per output interface.
+
+
+Packet meta-data
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Packet meta-data field offsets provided as argument to pipeline instances are essentially defining the data structure
+for the packet meta-data used by the current application use-case.
+It is very useful to put it in the configuration file as a comment in order to facilitate the readability of the
+configuration file.
+
+The reason to use field offsets for defining the data structure for the packet meta-data is due to the C language
+limitation of not being able to define data structures at run-time.
+Feature to consider: have the configuration file parser automatically generate and print the data structure defining
+the packet meta-data for the current application use-case.
+
+Packet meta-data typically contains:
+
+1. Pure meta-data: intermediate data per packet that is computed internally, passed between different tables of
+ the same pipeline instance (e.g. lookup key for the ARP table is obtained from the routing table), or between
+ different pipeline instances (e.g. flow ID, traffic metering color, etc);
+
+2. Packet fields: typically, packet header fields that are read directly from the packet, or read from the packet
+ and saved (duplicated) as a working copy at a different location within the packet meta-data (e.g. Diffserv
+ 5-tuple, IP destination address, etc).
+
+Several strategies are used to design the packet meta-data, as described in the next subsections.
+
+
+Store packet meta-data in a different cache line as the packet headers
+""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+This approach is able to support protocols with variable header length, like MPLS, where the offset of IP header
+from the start of the packet (and, implicitly, the offset of the IP header in the packet buffer) is not fixed.
+Since the pipelines typically require the specification of a fixed offset to the packet fields (e.g. Diffserv
+5-tuple, used by the flow classification pipeline, or the IP destination address, used by the IP routing pipeline),
+the workaround is to have the packet RX pipeline copy these fields at fixed offsets within the packet meta-data.
+
+As this approach duplicates some of the packet fields, it requires accessing more cache lines per packet for filling
+in selected packet meta-data fields (on RX), as well as flushing selected packet meta-data fields into the
+packet (on TX).
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+
+ ; struct app_pkt_metadata {
+ ; uint32_t ip_da;
+ ; uint32_t hash;
+ ; uint32_t flow_id;
+ ; uint32_t color;
+ ; } __attribute__((__packed__));
+ ;
+
+ [PIPELINE1]
+ ; Packet meta-data offsets
+ ip_da_offset = 0; Used by: routing
+ hash_offset = 4; Used by: RX, flow classification
+ flow_id_offset = 8; Used by: flow classification, flow actions
+ color_offset = 12; Used by: flow actions, routing
+
+
+Overlay the packet meta-data in the same cache line with the packet headers
+"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+This approach is minimizing the number of cache line accessed per packet by storing the packet metadata in the
+same cache line with the packet headers.
+To enable this strategy, either some headroom is reserved for meta-data at the beginning of the packet headers
+cache line (e.g. if 16 bytes are needed for meta-data, then the packet headroom can be set to 128+16 bytes, so
+that NIC writes the first byte of the packet at offset 16 from the start of the first packet cache line),
+or meta-data is reusing the space of some packet headers that are discarded from the packet (e.g. input Ethernet
+header).
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ ; struct app_pkt_metadata {
+ ; uint8_t headroom[RTE_PKTMBUF_HEADROOM]; /* 128 bytes (default) */
+ ; union {
+ ; struct {
+ ; struct ether_hdr ether; /* 14 bytes */
+ ; struct qinq_hdr qinq; /* 8 bytes */
+ ; };
+ ; struct {
+ ; uint32_t hash;
+ ; uint32_t flow_id;
+ ; uint32_t color;
+ ; };
+ ; };
+ ; struct ipv4_hdr ip; /* 20 bytes */
+ ; } __attribute__((__packed__));
+ ;
+ [PIPELINE2]
+ ; Packet meta-data offsets
+ qinq_offset = 142; Used by: RX, flow classification
+ ip_da_offset = 166; Used by: routing
+ hash_offset = 128; Used by: RX, flow classification
+ flow_id_offset = 132; Used by: flow classification, flow actions
+ color_offset = 136; Used by: flow actions, routing

+
+IP Reassembly Sample Application
+================================
+
+The L3 Forwarding application is a simple example of packet processing using the DPDK.
+The application performs L3 forwarding with reassembly for fragmented IPv4 and IPv6 packets.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The application demonstrates the use of the DPDK libraries to implement packet forwarding
+with reassembly for IPv4 and IPv6 fragmented packets.
+The initialization and run- time paths are very similar to those of the :doc:`l2_forward_real_virtual`.
+The main difference from the L2 Forwarding sample application is that
+it reassembles fragmented IPv4 and IPv6 packets before forwarding.
+The maximum allowed size of reassembled packet is 9.5 KB.
+
+There are two key differences from the L2 Forwarding sample application:
+
+* The first difference is that the forwarding decision is taken based on information read from the input packet's IP header.
+
+* The second difference is that the application differentiates between IP and non-IP traffic by means of offload flags.
+
+The Longest Prefix Match (LPM for IPv4, LPM6 for IPv6) table is used to store/lookup an outgoing port number, associated with that IPv4 address. Any unmatched packets are forwarded to the originating port.Compiling the Application
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+To compile the application:
+
+#. Go to the sample application directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/ip_reassembly
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+See the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+The application has a number of command line options:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/ip_reassembly [EAL options] -- -p PORTMASK [-q NQ] [--maxflows=FLOWS>] [--flowttl=TTL[(s|ms)]]
+
+where:
+
+* -p PORTMASK: Hexadecimal bitmask of ports to configure
+
+* -q NQ: Number of RX queues per lcore
+
+* --maxflows=FLOWS: determines maximum number of active fragmented flows (1-65535). Default value: 4096.
+
+* --flowttl=TTL[(s|ms)]: determines maximum Time To Live for fragmented packet.
+ If all fragments of the packet wouldn't appear within given time-out,
+ then they are considered as invalid and will be dropped.
+ Valid range is 1ms - 3600s. Default value: 1s.
+
+To run the example in linuxapp environment with 2 lcores (2,4) over 2 ports(0,2) with 1 RX queue per lcore:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/ip_reassembly -c 0x14 -n 3 -- -p 5
+ EAL: coremask set to 14
+ EAL: Detected lcore 0 on socket 0

+ IP_RSMBL: -- lcoreid=4 portid=2
+ IP_RSMBL: entering main loop on lcore 2
+ IP_RSMBL: -- lcoreid=2 portid=0
+
+To run the example in linuxapp environment with 1 lcore (4) over 2 ports(0,2) with 2 RX queues per lcore:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/ip_reassembly -c 0x10 -n 3 -- -p 5 -q 2
+
+To test the application, flows should be set up in the flow generator that match the values in the
+l3fwd_ipv4_route_array and/or l3fwd_ipv6_route_array table.
+
+Please note that in order to test this application,
+the traffic generator should be generating valid fragmented IP packets.
+For IPv6, the only supported case is when no other extension headers other than
+fragment extension header are present in the packet.
+
+The default l3fwd_ipv4_route_array table is:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct l3fwd_ipv4_route l3fwd_ipv4_route_array[] = {
+ {IPv4(100, 10, 0, 0), 16, 0},
+ {IPv4(100, 20, 0, 0), 16, 1},
+ {IPv4(100, 30, 0, 0), 16, 2},
+ {IPv4(100, 40, 0, 0), 16, 3},
+ {IPv4(100, 50, 0, 0), 16, 4},
+ {IPv4(100, 60, 0, 0), 16, 5},
+ {IPv4(100, 70, 0, 0), 16, 6},
+ {IPv4(100, 80, 0, 0), 16, 7},
+ };
+
+The default l3fwd_ipv6_route_array table is:
+
+.. code-block:: c

+For example, for the fragmented input IPv4 packet with destination address: 100.10.1.1,
+a reassembled IPv4 packet be sent out from port #0 to the destination address 100.10.1.1
+once all the fragments are collected.
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The following sections provide some explanation of the sample application code.
+As mentioned in the overview section, the initialization and run-time paths are very similar to those of the :doc:`l2_forward_real_virtual`.
+The following sections describe aspects that are specific to the IP reassemble sample application.
+
+IPv4 Fragment Table Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This application uses the rte_ip_frag library. Please refer to Programmer's Guide for more detailed explanation of how to use this library.
+Fragment table maintains information about already received fragments of the packet.
+Each IP packet is uniquely identified by triple <Source IP address>, <Destination IP address>, <ID>.
+To avoid lock contention, each RX queue has its own Fragment Table,
+e.g. the application can't handle the situation when different fragments of the same packet arrive through different RX queues.
+Each table entry can hold information about packet consisting of up to RTE_LIBRTE_IP_FRAG_MAX_FRAGS fragments.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ frag_cycles = (rte_get_tsc_hz() + MS_PER_S - 1) / MS_PER_S * max_flow_ttl;
+
+ if ((qconf->frag_tbl[queue] = rte_ip_frag_tbl_create(max_flow_num, IPV4_FRAG_TBL_BUCKET_ENTRIES, max_flow_num, frag_cycles, socket)) == NULL)
+ {
+ RTE_LOG(ERR, IP_RSMBL, "ip_frag_tbl_create(%u) on " "lcore: %u for queue: %u failed\n", max_flow_num, lcore, queue);
+ return -1;
+ }
+
+Mempools Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The reassembly application demands a lot of mbuf's to be allocated.
+At any given time up to (2 \* max_flow_num \* RTE_LIBRTE_IP_FRAG_MAX_FRAGS \* <maximum number of mbufs per packet>)
+can be stored inside Fragment Table waiting for remaining fragments.
+To keep mempool size under reasonable limits and to avoid situation when one RX queue can starve other queues,
+each RX queue uses its own mempool.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ nb_mbuf = RTE_MAX(max_flow_num, 2UL * MAX_PKT_BURST) * RTE_LIBRTE_IP_FRAG_MAX_FRAGS;
+ nb_mbuf *= (port_conf.rxmode.max_rx_pkt_len + BUF_SIZE - 1) / BUF_SIZE;
+ nb_mbuf *= 2; /* ipv4 and ipv6 */
+ nb_mbuf += RTE_TEST_RX_DESC_DEFAULT + RTE_TEST_TX_DESC_DEFAULT;
+ nb_mbuf = RTE_MAX(nb_mbuf, (uint32_t)NB_MBUF);
+
+ snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "mbuf_pool_%u_%u", lcore, queue);
+
+ if ((rxq->pool = rte_mempool_create(buf, nb_mbuf, MBUF_SIZE, 0, sizeof(struct rte_pktmbuf_pool_private), rte_pktmbuf_pool_init, NULL,
+ rte_pktmbuf_init, NULL, socket, MEMPOOL_F_SP_PUT | MEMPOOL_F_SC_GET)) == NULL) {
+
+ RTE_LOG(ERR, IP_RSMBL, "mempool_create(%s) failed", buf);
+ return -1;
+ }
+
+Packet Reassembly and Forwarding
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For each input packet, the packet forwarding operation is done by the l3fwd_simple_forward() function.
+If the packet is an IPv4 or IPv6 fragment, then it calls rte_ipv4_reassemble_packet() for IPv4 packets,
+or rte_ipv6_reassemble_packet() for IPv6 packets.
+These functions either return a pointer to valid mbuf that contains reassembled packet,
+or NULL (if the packet can't be reassembled for some reason).
+Then l3fwd_simple_forward() continues with the code for the packet forwarding decision
+(that is, the identification of the output interface for the packet) and
+actual transmit of the packet.
+
+The rte_ipv4_reassemble_packet() or rte_ipv6_reassemble_packet() are responsible for:
+
+#. Searching the Fragment Table for entry with packet's <IP Source Address, IP Destination Address, Packet ID>
+
+#. If the entry is found, then check if that entry already timed-out.
+ If yes, then free all previously received fragments,
+ and remove information about them from the entry.
+
+#. If no entry with such key is found, then try to create a new one by one of two ways:
+
+ #. Use as empty entry
+
+ #. Delete a timed-out entry, free mbufs associated with it mbufs and store a new entry with specified key in it.
+
+#. Update the entry with new fragment information and check
+ if a packet can be reassembled (the packet's entry contains all fragments).
+
+ #. If yes, then, reassemble the packet, mark table's entry as empty and return the reassembled mbuf to the caller.
+
+ #. If no, then just return a NULL to the caller.
+
+If at any stage of packet processing a reassembly function encounters an error
+(can't insert new entry into the Fragment table, or invalid/timed-out fragment),
+then it will free all associated with the packet fragments,
+mark the table entry as invalid and return NULL to the caller.
+
+Debug logging and Statistics Collection
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The RTE_LIBRTE_IP_FRAG_TBL_STAT controls statistics collection for the IP Fragment Table.
+This macro is disabled by default.
+To make ip_reassembly print the statistics to the standard output,
+the user must send either an USR1, INT or TERM signal to the process.
+For all of these signals, the ip_reassembly process prints Fragment table statistics for each RX queue,
+plus the INT and TERM will cause process termination as usual.

+
+IPsec Security Gateway Sample Application
+=========================================
+
+The IPsec Security Gateway application is an example of a "real world"
+application using DPDK cryptodev framework.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The application demonstrates the implementation of a Security Gateway
+(not IPsec compliant, see Constraints bellow) using DPDK based on RFC4301,
+RFC4303, RFC3602 and RFC2404.
+
+Internet Key Exchange (IKE) is not implemented, so only manual setting of
+Security Policies and Security Associations is supported.
+
+The Security Policies (SP) are implemented as ACL rules, the Security
+Associations (SA) are stored in a table and the Routing is implemented
+using LPM.
+
+The application classify the ports between Protected and Unprotected.
+Thus, traffic received in an Unprotected or Protected port is consider
+Inbound or Outbound respectively.
+
+Path for IPsec Inbound traffic:
+
+* Read packets from the port
+* Classify packets between IPv4 and ESP.
+* Inbound SA lookup for ESP packets based on their SPI
+* Verification/Decryption
+* Removal of ESP and outer IP header
+* Inbound SP check using ACL of decrypted packets and any other IPv4 packet
+ we read.
+* Routing
+* Write packet to port
+
+Path for IPsec Outbound traffic:
+
+* Read packets from the port
+* Outbound SP check using ACL of all IPv4 traffic
+* Outbound SA lookup for packets that need IPsec protection
+* Add ESP and outer IP header
+* Encryption/Digest
+* Routing
+* Write packet to port
+
+Constraints
+-----------
+* IPv4 traffic
+* ESP tunnel mode
+* EAS-CBC, HMAC-SHA1 and NULL
+* Each SA must be handle by a unique lcore (1 RX queue per port)
+* No chained mbufs
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+To compile the application:
+
+#. Go to the sample application directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/ipsec-secgw
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+ See the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+The application has a number of command line options:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/ipsec-secgw [EAL options] -- -p PORTMASK -P -u PORTMASK --config
+ (port,queue,lcore)[,(port,queue,lcore] --single-sa SAIDX --ep0|--ep1
+
+where,
+
+* -p PORTMASK: Hexadecimal bitmask of ports to configure
+
+* -P: optional, sets all ports to promiscuous mode so that packets are
+ accepted regardless of the packet's Ethernet MAC destination address.
+ Without this option, only packets with the Ethernet MAC destination address
+ set to the Ethernet address of the port are accepted (default is enabled).
+
+* -u PORTMASK: hexadecimal bitmask of unprotected ports
+
+* --config (port,queue,lcore)[,(port,queue,lcore)]: determines which queues
+ from which ports are mapped to which cores
+
+* --single-sa SAIDX: use a single SA for outbound traffic, bypassing the SP
+ on both Inbound and Outbound. This option is meant for debugging/performance
+ purposes.
+
+* --ep0: configure the app as Endpoint 0.
+
+* --ep1: configure the app as Endpoint 1.
+
+Either one of --ep0 or --ep1 *must* be specified.
+The main purpose of these options is two easily configure two systems
+back-to-back that would forward traffic through an IPsec tunnel.
+
+The mapping of lcores to port/queues is similar to other l3fwd applications.
+
+For example, given the following command line:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/ipsec-secgw -l 20,21 -n 4 --socket-mem 0,2048
+ --vdev "cryptodev_null_pmd" -- -p 0xf -P -u 0x3
+ --config="(0,0,20),(1,0,20),(2,0,21),(3,0,21)" --ep0
+
+where each options means:
+
+* The -l option enables cores 20 and 21
+
+* The -n option sets memory 4 channels
+
+* The --socket-mem to use 2GB on socket 1
+
+* The --vdev "cryptodev_null_pmd" option creates virtual NULL cryptodev PMD
+
+* The -p option enables ports (detected) 0, 1, 2 and 3
+
+* The -P option enables promiscuous mode
+
+* The -u option sets ports 1 and 2 as unprotected, leaving 2 and 3 as protected
+
+* The --config option enables one queue per port with the following mapping:
+
++----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
+| **Port** | **Queue** | **lcore** | **Description** |
+| | | | |
++----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
+| 0 | 0 | 20 | Map queue 0 from port 0 to lcore 20. |
+| | | | |
++----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
+| 1 | 0 | 20 | Map queue 0 from port 1 to lcore 20. |
+| | | | |
++----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
+| 2 | 0 | 21 | Map queue 0 from port 2 to lcore 21. |
+| | | | |
++----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
+| 3 | 0 | 21 | Map queue 0 from port 3 to lcore 21. |
+| | | | |
++----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
+
+* The --ep0 options configures the app with a given set of SP, SA and Routing
+ entries as explained below in more detail.
+
+Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running
+applications and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
+
+The application would do a best effort to "map" crypto devices to cores, with
+hardware devices having priority.
+This means that if the application is using a single core and both hardware
+and software crypto devices are detected, hardware devices will be used.
+
+A way to achieve the case where you want to force the use of virtual crypto
+devices is to whitelist the Ethernet devices needed and therefore implicitly
+blacklisting all hardware crypto devices.
+
+For example, something like the following command line:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/ipsec-secgw -l 20,21 -n 4 --socket-mem 0,2048
+ -w 81:00.0 -w 81:00.1 -w 81:00.2 -w 81:00.3
+ --vdev "cryptodev_aesni_mb_pmd" --vdev "cryptodev_null_pmd" --
+ -p 0xf -P -u 0x3 --config="(0,0,20),(1,0,20),(2,0,21),(3,0,21)"
+ --ep0
+
+Configurations
+--------------
+
+The following sections provide some details on the default values used to
+initialize the SP, SA and Routing tables.
+Currently all the configuration is hard coded into the application.
+
+Security Policy Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+As mention in the overview, the Security Policies are ACL rules.
+The application defines two ACLs, one each of Inbound and Outbound, and
+it replicates them per socket in use.
+
+Following are the default rules:
+

+
+Security Association Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The SAs are kept in a array table.
+
+For Inbound, the SPI is used as index module the table size.
+This means that on a table for 100 SA, SPI 5 and 105 would use the same index
+and that is not currently supported.
+
+Notice that it is not an issue for Outbound traffic as we store the index and
+not the SPI in the Security Policy.
+
+All SAs configured with AES-CBC and HMAC-SHA1 share the same values for cipher
+block size and key, and authentication digest size and key.
+
+Following are the default values:

+
+IPv4 Multicast Sample Application
+=================================
+
+The IPv4 Multicast application is a simple example of packet processing
+using the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK).
+The application performs L3 multicasting.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The application demonstrates the use of zero-copy buffers for packet forwarding.
+The initialization and run-time paths are very similar to those of the :doc:`l2_forward_real_virtual`.
+This guide highlights the differences between the two applications.
+There are two key differences from the L2 Forwarding sample application:
+
+* The IPv4 Multicast sample application makes use of indirect buffers.
+
+* The forwarding decision is taken based on information read from the input packet's IPv4 header.
+
+The lookup method is the Four-byte Key (FBK) hash-based method.
+The lookup table is composed of pairs of destination IPv4 address (the FBK)
+and a port mask associated with that IPv4 address.
+
+For convenience and simplicity, this sample application does not take IANA-assigned multicast addresses into account,
+but instead equates the last four bytes of the multicast group (that is, the last four bytes of the destination IP address)
+with the mask of ports to multicast packets to.
+Also, the application does not consider the Ethernet addresses;
+it looks only at the IPv4 destination address for any given packet.
+
+Building the Application
+------------------------
+
+To compile the application:
+
+#. Go to the sample application directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/ipv4_multicast
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+See the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+.. note::
+
+ The compiled application is written to the build subdirectory.
+ To have the application written to a different location,
+ the O=/path/to/build/directory option may be specified in the make command.
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+The application has a number of command line options:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/ipv4_multicast [EAL options] -- -p PORTMASK [-q NQ]
+
+where,
+
+* -p PORTMASK: Hexadecimal bitmask of ports to configure
+
+* -q NQ: determines the number of queues per lcore
+
+.. note::
+
+ Unlike the basic L2/L3 Forwarding sample applications,
+ NUMA support is not provided in the IPv4 Multicast sample application.
+
+Typically, to run the IPv4 Multicast sample application, issue the following command (as root):
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/ipv4_multicast -c 0x00f -n 3 -- -p 0x3 -q 1
+
+In this command:
+
+* The -c option enables cores 0, 1, 2 and 3
+
+* The -n option specifies 3 memory channels
+
+* The -p option enables ports 0 and 1
+
+* The -q option assigns 1 queue to each lcore
+
+Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running applications
+and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The following sections provide some explanation of the code.
+As mentioned in the overview section,
+the initialization and run-time paths are very similar to those of the :doc:`l2_forward_real_virtual`.
+The following sections describe aspects that are specific to the IPv4 Multicast sample application.
+
+Memory Pool Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The IPv4 Multicast sample application uses three memory pools.
+Two of the pools are for indirect buffers used for packet duplication purposes.
+Memory pools for indirect buffers are initialized differently from the memory pool for direct buffers:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ packet_pool = rte_mempool_create("packet_pool", NB_PKT_MBUF, PKT_MBUF_SIZE, 32, sizeof(struct rte_pktmbuf_pool_private),
+ rte_pktmbuf_pool_init, NULL, rte_pktmbuf_init, NULL, rte_socket_id(), 0);
+
+ header_pool = rte_mempool_create("header_pool", NB_HDR_MBUF, HDR_MBUF_SIZE, 32, 0, NULL, NULL, rte_pktmbuf_init, NULL, rte_socket_id(), 0);
+ clone_pool = rte_mempool_create("clone_pool", NB_CLONE_MBUF,
+ CLONE_MBUF_SIZE, 32, 0, NULL, NULL, rte_pktmbuf_init, NULL, rte_socket_id(), 0);
+
+The reason for this is because indirect buffers are not supposed to hold any packet data and
+therefore can be initialized with lower amount of reserved memory for each buffer.
+
+Hash Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The hash object is created and loaded with the pre-configured entries read from a global array:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static int
+
+ init_mcast_hash(void)
+ {
+ uint32_t i;
+ mcast_hash_params.socket_id = rte_socket_id();
+
+ mcast_hash = rte_fbk_hash_create(&mcast_hash_params);
+ if (mcast_hash == NULL){
+ return -1;
+ }
+
+ for (i = 0; i < N_MCAST_GROUPS; i ++){
+ if (rte_fbk_hash_add_key(mcast_hash, mcast_group_table[i].ip, mcast_group_table[i].port_mask) < 0) {
+ return -1;
+ }
+ }
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+Forwarding
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+All forwarding is done inside the mcast_forward() function.
+Firstly, the Ethernet* header is removed from the packet and the IPv4 address is extracted from the IPv4 header:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* Remove the Ethernet header from the input packet */
+
+ iphdr = (struct ipv4_hdr *)rte_pktmbuf_adj(m, sizeof(struct ether_hdr));
+ RTE_MBUF_ASSERT(iphdr != NULL);
+ dest_addr = rte_be_to_cpu_32(iphdr->dst_addr);
+
+Then, the packet is checked to see if it has a multicast destination address and
+if the routing table has any ports assigned to the destination address:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ if (!IS_IPV4_MCAST(dest_addr) ||
+ (hash = rte_fbk_hash_lookup(mcast_hash, dest_addr)) <= 0 ||
+ (port_mask = hash & enabled_port_mask) == 0) {
+ rte_pktmbuf_free(m);
+ return;
+ }
+
+Then, the number of ports in the destination portmask is calculated with the help of the bitcnt() function:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* Get number of bits set. */
+
+ static inline uint32_t bitcnt(uint32_t v)
+ {
+ uint32_t n;
+
+ for (n = 0; v != 0; v &= v - 1, n++)
+ ;
+ return n;
+ }
+
+This is done to determine which forwarding algorithm to use.
+This is explained in more detail in the next section.
+
+Thereafter, a destination Ethernet address is constructed:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* construct destination Ethernet address */
+
+ dst_eth_addr = ETHER_ADDR_FOR_IPV4_MCAST(dest_addr);
+
+Since Ethernet addresses are also part of the multicast process, each outgoing packet carries the same destination Ethernet address.
+The destination Ethernet address is constructed from the lower 23 bits of the multicast group OR-ed
+with the Ethernet address 01:00:5e:00:00:00, as per RFC 1112:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ #define ETHER_ADDR_FOR_IPV4_MCAST(x) \
+ (rte_cpu_to_be_64(0x01005e000000ULL | ((x) & 0x7fffff)) >> 16)
+
+Then, packets are dispatched to the destination ports according to the portmask associated with a multicast group:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ for (port = 0; use_clone != port_mask; port_mask >>= 1, port++) {
+ /* Prepare output packet and send it out. */
+
+ if ((port_mask & 1) != 0) {
+ if (likely ((mc = mcast_out_pkt(m, use_clone)) != NULL))
+ mcast_send_pkt(mc, &dst_eth_addr.as_addr, qconf, port);
+ else if (use_clone == 0)
+ rte_pktmbuf_free(m);
+ }
+ }
+
+The actual packet transmission is done in the mcast_send_pkt() function:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static inline void mcast_send_pkt(struct rte_mbuf *pkt, struct ether_addr *dest_addr, struct lcore_queue_conf *qconf, uint8_t port)
+ {
+ struct ether_hdr *ethdr;
+ uint16_t len;
+
+ /* Construct Ethernet header. */
+
+ ethdr = (struct ether_hdr *)rte_pktmbuf_prepend(pkt, (uint16_t) sizeof(*ethdr));
+
+ RTE_MBUF_ASSERT(ethdr != NULL);
+
+ ether_addr_copy(dest_addr, &ethdr->d_addr);
+ ether_addr_copy(&ports_eth_addr[port], &ethdr->s_addr);
+ ethdr->ether_type = rte_be_to_cpu_16(ETHER_TYPE_IPv4);
+
+ /* Put new packet into the output queue */
+
+ len = qconf->tx_mbufs[port].len;
+ qconf->tx_mbufs[port].m_table[len] = pkt;
+ qconf->tx_mbufs[port].len = ++len;
+
+ /* Transmit packets */
+
+ if (unlikely(MAX_PKT_BURST == len))
+ send_burst(qconf, port);
+ }
+
+Buffer Cloning
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This is the most important part of the application since it demonstrates the use of zero- copy buffer cloning.
+There are two approaches for creating the outgoing packet and although both are based on the data zero-copy idea,
+there are some differences in the detail.
+
+The first approach creates a clone of the input packet, for example,
+walk though all segments of the input packet and for each of segment,
+create a new buffer and attach that new buffer to the segment
+(refer to rte_pktmbuf_clone() in the rte_mbuf library for more details).
+A new buffer is then allocated for the packet header and is prepended to the cloned buffer.
+
+The second approach does not make a clone, it just increments the reference counter for all input packet segment,
+allocates a new buffer for the packet header and prepends it to the input packet.
+
+Basically, the first approach reuses only the input packet's data, but creates its own copy of packet's metadata.
+The second approach reuses both input packet's data and metadata.
+
+The advantage of first approach is that each outgoing packet has its own copy of the metadata,
+so we can safely modify the data pointer of the input packet.
+That allows us to skip creation if the output packet is for the last destination port
+and instead modify input packet's header in place.
+For example, for N destination ports, we need to invoke mcast_out_pkt() (N-1) times.
+
+The advantage of the second approach is that there is less work to be done for each outgoing packet,
+that is, the "clone" operation is skipped completely.
+However, there is a price to pay.
+The input packet's metadata must remain intact, so for N destination ports,
+we need to invoke mcast_out_pkt() (N) times.
+
+Therefore, for a small number of outgoing ports (and segments in the input packet),
+first approach is faster.
+As the number of outgoing ports (and/or input segments) grows, the second approach becomes more preferable.
+
+Depending on the number of segments or the number of ports in the outgoing portmask,
+either the first (with cloning) or the second (without cloning) approach is taken:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ use_clone = (port_num <= MCAST_CLONE_PORTS && m->pkt.nb_segs <= MCAST_CLONE_SEGS);
+
+It is the mcast_out_pkt() function that performs the packet duplication (either with or without actually cloning the buffers):
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static inline struct rte_mbuf *mcast_out_pkt(struct rte_mbuf *pkt, int use_clone)
+ {
+ struct rte_mbuf *hdr;
+
+ /* Create new mbuf for the header. */
+
+ if (unlikely ((hdr = rte_pktmbuf_alloc(header_pool)) == NULL))
+ return NULL;
+
+ /* If requested, then make a new clone packet. */
+
+ if (use_clone != 0 && unlikely ((pkt = rte_pktmbuf_clone(pkt, clone_pool)) == NULL)) {
+ rte_pktmbuf_free(hdr);
+ return NULL;
+ }
+
+ /* prepend new header */
+
+ hdr->pkt.next = pkt;
+
+ /* update header's fields */
+
+ hdr->pkt.pkt_len = (uint16_t)(hdr->pkt.data_len + pkt->pkt.pkt_len);
+ hdr->pkt.nb_segs = (uint8_t)(pkt->pkt.nb_segs + 1);
+
+ /* copy metadata from source packet */
+
+ hdr->pkt.in_port = pkt->pkt.in_port;
+ hdr->pkt.vlan_macip = pkt->pkt.vlan_macip;
+ hdr->pkt.hash = pkt->pkt.hash;
+ hdr->ol_flags = pkt->ol_flags;
+ rte_mbuf_sanity_check(hdr, RTE_MBUF_PKT, 1);
+
+ return hdr;
+ }

+
+Keep Alive Sample Application
+=============================
+
+The Keep Alive application is a simple example of a
+heartbeat/watchdog for packet processing cores. It demonstrates how
+to detect 'failed' DPDK cores and notify a fault management entity
+of this failure. Its purpose is to ensure the failure of the core
+does not result in a fault that is not detectable by a management
+entity.
+
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The application demonstrates how to protect against 'silent outages'
+on packet processing cores. A Keep Alive Monitor Agent Core (master)
+monitors the state of packet processing cores (worker cores) by
+dispatching pings at a regular time interval (default is 5ms) and
+monitoring the state of the cores. Cores states are: Alive, MIA, Dead
+or Buried. MIA indicates a missed ping, and Dead indicates two missed
+pings within the specified time interval. When a core is Dead, a
+callback function is invoked to restart the packet processing core;
+A real life application might use this callback function to notify a
+higher level fault management entity of the core failure in order to
+take the appropriate corrective action.
+
+Note: Only the worker cores are monitored. A local (on the host) mechanism
+or agent to supervise the Keep Alive Monitor Agent Core DPDK core is required
+to detect its failure.
+
+Note: This application is based on the :doc:`l2_forward_real_virtual`. As
+such, the initialization and run-time paths are very similar to those
+of the L2 forwarding application.
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+To compile the application:
+
+#. Go to the sample application directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/keep_alive
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+ See the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+The application has a number of command line options:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/l2fwd-keepalive [EAL options] \
+ -- -p PORTMASK [-q NQ] [-K PERIOD] [-T PERIOD]
+
+where,
+
+* ``p PORTMASK``: A hexadecimal bitmask of the ports to configure
+
+* ``q NQ``: A number of queues (=ports) per lcore (default is 1)
+
+* ``K PERIOD``: Heartbeat check period in ms(5ms default; 86400 max)
+
+* ``T PERIOD``: statistics will be refreshed each PERIOD seconds (0 to
+ disable, 10 default, 86400 maximum).
+
+To run the application in linuxapp environment with 4 lcores, 16 ports
+8 RX queues per lcore and a ping interval of 10ms, issue the command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/l2fwd-keepalive -c f -n 4 -- -q 8 -p ffff -K 10
+
+Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on
+running applications and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL)
+options.
+
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The following sections provide some explanation of the The
+Keep-Alive/'Liveliness' conceptual scheme. As mentioned in the
+overview section, the initialization and run-time paths are very
+similar to those of the :doc:`l2_forward_real_virtual`.
+
+The Keep-Alive/'Liveliness' conceptual scheme:
+
+* A Keep- Alive Agent Runs every N Milliseconds.
+
+* DPDK Cores respond to the keep-alive agent.
+
+* If keep-alive agent detects time-outs, it notifies the
+ fault management entity through a callback function.
+
+The following sections provide some explanation of the code aspects
+that are specific to the Keep Alive sample application.
+
+The keepalive functionality is initialized with a struct
+rte_keepalive and the callback function to invoke in the
+case of a timeout.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ rte_global_keepalive_info = rte_keepalive_create(&dead_core, NULL);
+ if (rte_global_keepalive_info == NULL)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "keepalive_create() failed");
+
+The function that issues the pings keepalive_dispatch_pings()
+is configured to run every check_period milliseconds.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ if (rte_timer_reset(&hb_timer,
+ (check_period * rte_get_timer_hz()) / 1000,
+ PERIODICAL,
+ rte_lcore_id(),
+ &rte_keepalive_dispatch_pings,
+ rte_global_keepalive_info
+ ) != 0 )
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Keepalive setup failure.\n");
+
+The rest of the initialization and run-time path follows
+the same paths as the the L2 forwarding application. The only
+addition to the main processing loop is the mark alive
+functionality and the example random failures.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ rte_keepalive_mark_alive(&rte_global_keepalive_info);
+ cur_tsc = rte_rdtsc();
+
+ /* Die randomly within 7 secs for demo purposes.. */
+ if (cur_tsc - tsc_initial > tsc_lifetime)
+ break;
+
+The rte_keepalive_mark_alive function simply sets the core state to alive.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static inline void
+ rte_keepalive_mark_alive(struct rte_keepalive *keepcfg)
+ {
+ keepcfg->state_flags[rte_lcore_id()] = ALIVE;
+ }

+Kernel NIC Interface Sample Application
+=======================================
+
+The Kernel NIC Interface (KNI) is a DPDK control plane solution that
+allows userspace applications to exchange packets with the kernel networking stack.
+To accomplish this, DPDK userspace applications use an IOCTL call
+to request the creation of a KNI virtual device in the Linux* kernel.
+The IOCTL call provides interface information and the DPDK's physical address space,
+which is re-mapped into the kernel address space by the KNI kernel loadable module
+that saves the information to a virtual device context.
+The DPDK creates FIFO queues for packet ingress and egress
+to the kernel module for each device allocated.
+
+The KNI kernel loadable module is a standard net driver,
+which upon receiving the IOCTL call access the DPDK's FIFO queue to
+receive/transmit packets from/to the DPDK userspace application.
+The FIFO queues contain pointers to data packets in the DPDK. This:
+
+* Provides a faster mechanism to interface with the kernel net stack and eliminates system calls
+
+* Facilitates the DPDK using standard Linux* userspace net tools (tcpdump, ftp, and so on)
+
+* Eliminate the copy_to_user and copy_from_user operations on packets.
+
+The Kernel NIC Interface sample application is a simple example that demonstrates the use
+of the DPDK to create a path for packets to go through the Linux* kernel.
+This is done by creating one or more kernel net devices for each of the DPDK ports.
+The application allows the use of standard Linux tools (ethtool, ifconfig, tcpdump) with the DPDK ports and
+also the exchange of packets between the DPDK application and the Linux* kernel.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The Kernel NIC Interface sample application uses two threads in user space for each physical NIC port being used,
+and allocates one or more KNI device for each physical NIC port with kernel module's support.
+For a physical NIC port, one thread reads from the port and writes to KNI devices,
+and another thread reads from KNI devices and writes the data unmodified to the physical NIC port.
+It is recommended to configure one KNI device for each physical NIC port.
+If configured with more than one KNI devices for a physical NIC port,
+it is just for performance testing, or it can work together with VMDq support in future.
+
+The packet flow through the Kernel NIC Interface application is as shown in the following figure.
+
+.. _figure_kernel_nic:
+
+.. figure:: img/kernel_nic.*
+
+ Kernel NIC Application Packet Flow
+
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+Compile the application as follows:
+
+#. Go to the example directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/kni
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified)
+
+ .. note::
+
+ This application is intended as a linuxapp only.
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Loading the Kernel Module
+-------------------------
+
+Loading the KNI kernel module without any parameter is the typical way a DPDK application
+gets packets into and out of the kernel net stack.
+This way, only one kernel thread is created for all KNI devices for packet receiving in kernel side:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ #insmod rte_kni.ko
+
+Pinning the kernel thread to a specific core can be done using a taskset command such as following:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ #taskset -p 100000 `pgrep --fl kni_thread | awk '{print $1}'`
+
+This command line tries to pin the specific kni_thread on the 20th lcore (lcore numbering starts at 0),
+which means it needs to check if that lcore is available on the board.
+This command must be sent after the application has been launched, as insmod does not start the kni thread.
+
+For optimum performance,
+the lcore in the mask must be selected to be on the same socket as the lcores used in the KNI application.
+
+To provide flexibility of performance, the kernel module of the KNI,
+located in the kmod sub-directory of the DPDK target directory,
+can be loaded with parameter of kthread_mode as follows:
+
+* #insmod rte_kni.ko kthread_mode=single
+
+ This mode will create only one kernel thread for all KNI devices for packet receiving in kernel side.
+ By default, it is in this single kernel thread mode.
+ It can set core affinity for this kernel thread by using Linux command taskset.
+
+* #insmod rte_kni.ko kthread_mode =multiple
+
+ This mode will create a kernel thread for each KNI device for packet receiving in kernel side.
+ The core affinity of each kernel thread is set when creating the KNI device.
+ The lcore ID for each kernel thread is provided in the command line of launching the application.
+ Multiple kernel thread mode can provide scalable higher performance.
+
+To measure the throughput in a loopback mode, the kernel module of the KNI,
+located in the kmod sub-directory of the DPDK target directory,
+can be loaded with parameters as follows:
+
+* #insmod rte_kni.ko lo_mode=lo_mode_fifo
+
+ This loopback mode will involve ring enqueue/dequeue operations in kernel space.
+
+* #insmod rte_kni.ko lo_mode=lo_mode_fifo_skb
+
+ This loopback mode will involve ring enqueue/dequeue operations and sk buffer copies in kernel space.
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+The application requires a number of command line options:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ kni [EAL options] -- -P -p PORTMASK --config="(port,lcore_rx,lcore_tx[,lcore_kthread,...])[,port,lcore_rx,lcore_tx[,lcore_kthread,...]]"
+
+Where:
+
+* -P: Set all ports to promiscuous mode so that packets are accepted regardless of the packet's Ethernet MAC destination address.
+ Without this option, only packets with the Ethernet MAC destination address set to the Ethernet address of the port are accepted.
+
+* -p PORTMASK: Hexadecimal bitmask of ports to configure.
+
+* --config="(port,lcore_rx, lcore_tx[,lcore_kthread, ...]) [, port,lcore_rx, lcore_tx[,lcore_kthread, ...]]":
+ Determines which lcores of RX, TX, kernel thread are mapped to which ports.
+
+Refer to *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running applications and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
+
+The -c coremask parameter of the EAL options should include the lcores indicated by the lcore_rx and lcore_tx,
+but does not need to include lcores indicated by lcore_kthread as they are used to pin the kernel thread on.
+The -p PORTMASK parameter should include the ports indicated by the port in --config, neither more nor less.
+
+The lcore_kthread in --config can be configured none, one or more lcore IDs.
+In multiple kernel thread mode, if configured none, a KNI device will be allocated for each port,
+while no specific lcore affinity will be set for its kernel thread.
+If configured one or more lcore IDs, one or more KNI devices will be allocated for each port,
+while specific lcore affinity will be set for its kernel thread.
+In single kernel thread mode, if configured none, a KNI device will be allocated for each port.
+If configured one or more lcore IDs,
+one or more KNI devices will be allocated for each port while
+no lcore affinity will be set as there is only one kernel thread for all KNI devices.
+
+For example, to run the application with two ports served by six lcores, one lcore of RX, one lcore of TX,
+and one lcore of kernel thread for each port:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/kni -c 0xf0 -n 4 -- -P -p 0x3 -config="(0,4,6,8),(1,5,7,9)"
+
+KNI Operations
+--------------
+
+Once the KNI application is started, one can use different Linux* commands to manage the net interfaces.
+If more than one KNI devices configured for a physical port,
+only the first KNI device will be paired to the physical device.
+Operations on other KNI devices will not affect the physical port handled in user space application.
+
+Assigning an IP address:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ #ifconfig vEth0_0 192.168.0.1
+
+Displaying the NIC registers:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ #ethtool -d vEth0_0
+
+Dumping the network traffic:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ #tcpdump -i vEth0_0
+
+When the DPDK userspace application is closed, all the KNI devices are deleted from Linux*.
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The following sections provide some explanation of code.
+
+Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Setup of mbuf pool, driver and queues is similar to the setup done in the :doc:`l2_forward_real_virtual`..
+In addition, one or more kernel NIC interfaces are allocated for each
+of the configured ports according to the command line parameters.
+
+The code for allocating the kernel NIC interfaces for a specific port is as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static int
+ kni_alloc(uint8_t port_id)
+ {
+ uint8_t i;
+ struct rte_kni *kni;
+ struct rte_kni_conf conf;
+ struct kni_port_params **params = kni_port_params_array;
+
+ if (port_id >= RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS || !params[port_id])
+ return -1;
+
+ params[port_id]->nb_kni = params[port_id]->nb_lcore_k ? params[port_id]->nb_lcore_k : 1;
+
+ for (i = 0; i < params[port_id]->nb_kni; i++) {
+
+ /* Clear conf at first */
+
+ memset(&conf, 0, sizeof(conf));
+ if (params[port_id]->nb_lcore_k) {
+ snprintf(conf.name, RTE_KNI_NAMESIZE, "vEth%u_%u", port_id, i);
+ conf.core_id = params[port_id]->lcore_k[i];
+ conf.force_bind = 1;
+ } else
+ snprintf(conf.name, RTE_KNI_NAMESIZE, "vEth%u", port_id);
+ conf.group_id = (uint16_t)port_id;
+ conf.mbuf_size = MAX_PACKET_SZ;
+
+ /*
+ * The first KNI device associated to a port
+ * is the master, for multiple kernel thread
+ * environment.
+ */
+
+ if (i == 0) {
+ struct rte_kni_ops ops;
+ struct rte_eth_dev_info dev_info;
+
+ memset(&dev_info, 0, sizeof(dev_info)); rte_eth_dev_info_get(port_id, &dev_info);
+
+ conf.addr = dev_info.pci_dev->addr;
+ conf.id = dev_info.pci_dev->id;
+
+ memset(&ops, 0, sizeof(ops));
+
+ ops.port_id = port_id;
+ ops.change_mtu = kni_change_mtu;
+ ops.config_network_if = kni_config_network_interface;
+
+ kni = rte_kni_alloc(pktmbuf_pool, &conf, &ops);
+ } else
+ kni = rte_kni_alloc(pktmbuf_pool, &conf, NULL);
+
+ if (!kni)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Fail to create kni for "
+ "port: %d\n", port_id);
+
+ params[port_id]->kni[i] = kni;
+ }
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+The other step in the initialization process that is unique to this sample application
+is the association of each port with lcores for RX, TX and kernel threads.
+
+* One lcore to read from the port and write to the associated one or more KNI devices
+
+* Another lcore to read from one or more KNI devices and write to the port
+
+* Other lcores for pinning the kernel threads on one by one
+
+This is done by using the`kni_port_params_array[]` array, which is indexed by the port ID.
+The code is as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ static int
+ parse_config(const char *arg)
+ {
+ const char *p, *p0 = arg;
+ char s[256], *end;
+ unsigned size;
+ enum fieldnames {
+ FLD_PORT = 0,
+ FLD_LCORE_RX,
+ FLD_LCORE_TX,
+ _NUM_FLD = KNI_MAX_KTHREAD + 3,
+ };
+ int i, j, nb_token;
+ char *str_fld[_NUM_FLD];
+ unsigned long int_fld[_NUM_FLD];
+ uint8_t port_id, nb_kni_port_params = 0;
+
+ memset(&kni_port_params_array, 0, sizeof(kni_port_params_array));
+
+ while (((p = strchr(p0, '(')) != NULL) && nb_kni_port_params < RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS) {
+ p++;
+ if ((p0 = strchr(p, ')')) == NULL)
+ goto fail;
+
+ size = p0 - p;
+
+ if (size >= sizeof(s)) {
+ printf("Invalid config parameters\n");
+ goto fail;
+ }
+
+ snprintf(s, sizeof(s), "%.*s", size, p);
+ nb_token = rte_strsplit(s, sizeof(s), str_fld, _NUM_FLD, ',');
+
+ if (nb_token <= FLD_LCORE_TX) {
+ printf("Invalid config parameters\n");
+ goto fail;
+ }
+
+ for (i = 0; i < nb_token; i++) {
+ errno = 0;
+ int_fld[i] = strtoul(str_fld[i], &end, 0);
+ if (errno != 0 || end == str_fld[i]) {
+ printf("Invalid config parameters\n");
+ goto fail;
+ }
+ }
+
+ i = 0;
+ port_id = (uint8_t)int_fld[i++];
+
+ if (port_id >= RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS) {
+ printf("Port ID %u could not exceed the maximum %u\n", port_id, RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS);
+ goto fail;
+ }
+
+ if (kni_port_params_array[port_id]) {
+ printf("Port %u has been configured\n", port_id);
+ goto fail;
+ }
+
+ kni_port_params_array[port_id] = (struct kni_port_params*)rte_zmalloc("KNI_port_params", sizeof(struct kni_port_params), RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE);
+ kni_port_params_array[port_id]->port_id = port_id;
+ kni_port_params_array[port_id]->lcore_rx = (uint8_t)int_fld[i++];
+ kni_port_params_array[port_id]->lcore_tx = (uint8_t)int_fld[i++];
+
+ if (kni_port_params_array[port_id]->lcore_rx >= RTE_MAX_LCORE || kni_port_params_array[port_id]->lcore_tx >= RTE_MAX_LCORE) {
+ printf("lcore_rx %u or lcore_tx %u ID could not "
+ "exceed the maximum %u\n",
+ kni_port_params_array[port_id]->lcore_rx, kni_port_params_array[port_id]->lcore_tx, RTE_MAX_LCORE);
+ goto fail;
+ }
+
+ for (j = 0; i < nb_token && j < KNI_MAX_KTHREAD; i++, j++)
+ kni_port_params_array[port_id]->lcore_k[j] = (uint8_t)int_fld[i];
+ kni_port_params_array[port_id]->nb_lcore_k = j;
+ }
+
+ print_config();
+
+ return 0;
+
+ fail:
+
+ for (i = 0; i < RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS; i++) {
+ if (kni_port_params_array[i]) {
+ rte_free(kni_port_params_array[i]);
+ kni_port_params_array[i] = NULL;
+ }
+ }
+
+ return -1;
+
+ }
+
+Packet Forwarding
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+After the initialization steps are completed, the main_loop() function is run on each lcore.
+This function first checks the lcore_id against the user provided lcore_rx and lcore_tx
+to see if this lcore is reading from or writing to kernel NIC interfaces.
+
+For the case that reads from a NIC port and writes to the kernel NIC interfaces,
+the packet reception is the same as in L2 Forwarding sample application
+(see :ref:`l2_fwd_app_rx_tx_packets`).
+The packet transmission is done by sending mbufs into the kernel NIC interfaces by rte_kni_tx_burst().
+The KNI library automatically frees the mbufs after the kernel successfully copied the mbufs.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /**
+ * Interface to burst rx and enqueue mbufs into rx_q
+ */
+
+ static void
+ kni_ingress(struct kni_port_params *p)
+ {
+ uint8_t i, nb_kni, port_id;
+ unsigned nb_rx, num;
+ struct rte_mbuf *pkts_burst[PKT_BURST_SZ];
+
+ if (p == NULL)
+ return;
+
+ nb_kni = p->nb_kni;
+ port_id = p->port_id;
+
+ for (i = 0; i < nb_kni; i++) {
+ /* Burst rx from eth */
+ nb_rx = rte_eth_rx_burst(port_id, 0, pkts_burst, PKT_BURST_SZ);
+ if (unlikely(nb_rx > PKT_BURST_SZ)) {
+ RTE_LOG(ERR, APP, "Error receiving from eth\n");
+ return;
+ }
+
+ /* Burst tx to kni */
+ num = rte_kni_tx_burst(p->kni[i], pkts_burst, nb_rx);
+ kni_stats[port_id].rx_packets += num;
+ rte_kni_handle_request(p->kni[i]);
+
+ if (unlikely(num < nb_rx)) {
+ /* Free mbufs not tx to kni interface */
+ kni_burst_free_mbufs(&pkts_burst[num], nb_rx - num);
+ kni_stats[port_id].rx_dropped += nb_rx - num;
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+For the other case that reads from kernel NIC interfaces and writes to a physical NIC port, packets are retrieved by reading
+mbufs from kernel NIC interfaces by `rte_kni_rx_burst()`.
+The packet transmission is the same as in the L2 Forwarding sample application
+(see :ref:`l2_fwd_app_rx_tx_packets`).
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /**
+ * Interface to dequeue mbufs from tx_q and burst tx
+ */
+
+ static void
+
+ kni_egress(struct kni_port_params *p)
+ {
+ uint8_t i, nb_kni, port_id;
+ unsigned nb_tx, num;
+ struct rte_mbuf *pkts_burst[PKT_BURST_SZ];
+
+ if (p == NULL)
+ return;
+
+ nb_kni = p->nb_kni;
+ port_id = p->port_id;
+
+ for (i = 0; i < nb_kni; i++) {
+ /* Burst rx from kni */
+ num = rte_kni_rx_burst(p->kni[i], pkts_burst, PKT_BURST_SZ);
+ if (unlikely(num > PKT_BURST_SZ)) {
+ RTE_LOG(ERR, APP, "Error receiving from KNI\n");
+ return;
+ }
+
+ /* Burst tx to eth */
+
+ nb_tx = rte_eth_tx_burst(port_id, 0, pkts_burst, (uint16_t)num);
+
+ kni_stats[port_id].tx_packets += nb_tx;
+
+ if (unlikely(nb_tx < num)) {
+ /* Free mbufs not tx to NIC */
+ kni_burst_free_mbufs(&pkts_burst[nb_tx], num - nb_tx);
+ kni_stats[port_id].tx_dropped += num - nb_tx;
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+Callbacks for Kernel Requests
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To execute specific PMD operations in user space requested by some Linux* commands,
+callbacks must be implemented and filled in the struct rte_kni_ops structure.
+Currently, setting a new MTU and configuring the network interface (up/ down) are supported.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static struct rte_kni_ops kni_ops = {
+ .change_mtu = kni_change_mtu,
+ .config_network_if = kni_config_network_interface,
+ };

+L2 Forwarding Sample Application with Cache Allocation Technology (CAT)
+=======================================================================
+
+Basic Forwarding sample application is a simple *skeleton* example of
+a forwarding application. It has been extended to make use of CAT via extended
+command line options and linking against the libpqos library.
+
+It is intended as a demonstration of the basic components of a DPDK forwarding
+application and use of the libpqos library to program CAT.
+For more detailed implementations see the L2 and L3 forwarding
+sample applications.
+
+CAT and Code Data Prioritization (CDP) features allow management of the CPU's
+last level cache. CAT introduces classes of service (COS) that are essentially
+bitmasks. In current CAT implementations, a bit in a COS bitmask corresponds to
+one cache way in last level cache.
+A CPU core is always assigned to one of the CAT classes.
+By programming CPU core assignment and COS bitmasks, applications can be given
+exclusive, shared, or mixed access to the CPU's last level cache.
+CDP extends CAT so that there are two bitmasks per COS,
+one for data and one for code.
+The number of classes and number of valid bits in a COS bitmask is CPU model
+specific and COS bitmasks need to be contiguous. Sample code calls this bitmask
+``cbm`` or capacity bitmask.
+By default, after reset, all CPU cores are assigned to COS 0 and all classes
+are programmed to allow fill into all cache ways.
+CDP is off by default.
+
+For more information about CAT please see:
+
+* https://github.com/01org/intel-cmt-cat
+
+White paper demonstrating example use case:
+
+* `Increasing Platform Determinism with Platform Quality of Service for the Data Plane Development Kit <http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/communications/increasing-platform-determinism-pqos-dpdk-white-paper.html>`_
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+Requires ``libpqos`` from Intel's
+`intel-cmt-cat software package <https://github.com/01org/intel-cmt-cat>`_
+hosted on GitHub repository. For installation notes, please see ``README`` file.
+
+GIT:
+
+* https://github.com/01org/intel-cmt-cat
+
+To compile the application export the path to PQoS lib
+and the DPDK source tree and go to the example directory:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ export PQOS_INSTALL_PATH=/path/to/libpqos
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/l2fwd-cat
+
+Set the target, for example:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+See the *DPDK Getting Started* Guide for possible ``RTE_TARGET`` values.
+
+Build the application as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+To run the example in a ``linuxapp`` environment and enable CAT on cpus 0-2:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/l2fwd-cat -c 2 -n 4 -- --l3ca="0x3@(0-2)"
+
+or to enable CAT and CDP on cpus 1,3:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/l2fwd-cat -c 2 -n 4 -- --l3ca="(0x00C00,0x00300)@(1,3)"
+
+If CDP is not supported it will fail with following error message:
+

+
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The following sections provide an explanation of the main components of the
+code.
+
+All DPDK library functions used in the sample code are prefixed with ``rte_``
+and are explained in detail in the *DPDK API Documentation*.
+
+
+The Main Function
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``main()`` function performs the initialization and calls the execution
+threads for each lcore.
+
+The first task is to initialize the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL). The
+``argc`` and ``argv`` arguments are provided to the ``rte_eal_init()``
+function. The value returned is the number of parsed arguments:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ int ret = rte_eal_init(argc, argv);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Error with EAL initialization\n");
+
+The next task is to initialize the PQoS library and configure CAT. The
+``argc`` and ``argv`` arguments are provided to the ``cat_init()``
+function. The value returned is the number of parsed arguments:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ int ret = cat_init(argc, argv);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "PQOS: L3CA init failed!\n");
+
+``cat_init()`` is a wrapper function which parses the command, validates
+the requested parameters and configures CAT accordingly.
+
+Parsing of command line arguments is done in ``parse_args(...)``.
+libpqos is then initialized with the ``pqos_init(...)`` call. Next, libpqos is
+queried for system CPU information and L3CA capabilities via
+``pqos_cap_get(...)`` and ``pqos_cap_get_type(..., PQOS_CAP_TYPE_L3CA, ...)``
+calls. When all capability and topology information is collected, the requested
+CAT configuration is validated. A check is then performed (on per socket basis)
+for a sufficient number of un-associated COS. COS are selected and
+configured via the ``pqos_l3ca_set(...)`` call. Finally, COS are associated to
+relevant CPUs via ``pqos_l3ca_assoc_set(...)`` calls.
+
+``atexit(...)`` is used to register ``cat_exit(...)`` to be called on
+a clean exit. ``cat_exit(...)`` performs a simple CAT clean-up, by associating
+COS 0 to all involved CPUs via ``pqos_l3ca_assoc_set(...)`` calls. \ No newline at end of file

+
+L2 Forwarding with Crypto Sample Application
+============================================
+
+The L2 Forwarding with Crypto (l2fwd-crypto) sample application is a simple example of packet processing using
+the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK), in conjunction with the Cryptodev library.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The L2 Forwarding with Crypto sample application performs a crypto operation (cipher/hash)
+specified by the user from command line (or using the default values),
+with a crypto device capable of doing that operation,
+for each packet that is received on a RX_PORT and performs L2 forwarding.
+The destination port is the adjacent port from the enabled portmask, that is,
+if the first four ports are enabled (portmask 0xf),
+ports 0 and 1 forward into each other, and ports 2 and 3 forward into each other.
+Also, the MAC addresses are affected as follows:
+
+* The source MAC address is replaced by the TX_PORT MAC address
+
+* The destination MAC address is replaced by 02:00:00:00:00:TX_PORT_ID
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+#. Go to the example directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/l2fwd-crypto
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+ *See the DPDK Getting Started Guide* for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+The application requires a number of command line options:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/l2fwd-crypto [EAL options] -- [-p PORTMASK] [-q NQ] [-s] [-T PERIOD] /
+ [--cdev_type HW/SW/ANY] [--chain HASH_CIPHER/CIPHER_HASH/CIPHER_ONLY/HASH_ONLY] /
+ [--cipher_algo ALGO] [--cipher_op ENCRYPT/DECRYPT] [--cipher_key KEY] /
+ [--cipher_key_random_size SIZE] [--iv IV] [--iv_random_size SIZE] /
+ [--auth_algo ALGO] [--auth_op GENERATE/VERIFY] [--auth_key KEY] /
+ [--auth_key_random_size SIZE] [--aad AAD] [--aad_random_size SIZE] /
+ [--digest size SIZE] [--sessionless]
+
+where,
+
+* p PORTMASK: A hexadecimal bitmask of the ports to configure (default is all the ports)
+
+* q NQ: A number of queues (=ports) per lcore (default is 1)
+
+* s: manage all ports from single core
+
+* T PERIOD: statistics will be refreshed each PERIOD seconds
+
+ (0 to disable, 10 default, 86400 maximum)
+
+* cdev_type: select preferred crypto device type: HW, SW or anything (ANY)
+
+ (default is ANY)
+
+* chain: select the operation chaining to perform: Cipher->Hash (CIPHER_HASH),
+
+ Hash->Cipher (HASH_CIPHER), Cipher (CIPHER_ONLY), Hash(HASH_ONLY)
+
+ (default is Cipher->Hash)
+
+* cipher_algo: select the ciphering algorithm (default is AES CBC)
+
+* cipher_op: select the ciphering operation to perform: ENCRYPT or DECRYPT
+
+ (default is ENCRYPT)
+
+* cipher_key: set the ciphering key to be used. Bytes has to be separated with ":"
+
+* cipher_key_random_size: set the size of the ciphering key,
+
+ which will be generated randomly.
+
+ Note that if --cipher_key is used, this will be ignored.
+
+* iv: set the IV to be used. Bytes has to be separated with ":"
+
+* iv_random_size: set the size of the IV, which will be generated randomly.
+
+ Note that if --iv is used, this will be ignored.
+
+* auth_algo: select the authentication algorithm (default is SHA1-HMAC)
+
+* cipher_op: select the authentication operation to perform: GENERATE or VERIFY
+
+ (default is GENERATE)
+
+* auth_key: set the authentication key to be used. Bytes has to be separated with ":"
+
+* auth_key_random_size: set the size of the authentication key,
+
+ which will be generated randomly.
+
+ Note that if --auth_key is used, this will be ignored.
+
+* aad: set the AAD to be used. Bytes has to be separated with ":"
+
+* aad_random_size: set the size of the AAD, which will be generated randomly.
+
+ Note that if --aad is used, this will be ignored.
+
+* digest_size: set the size of the digest to be generated/verified.
+
+* sessionless: no crypto session will be created.
+
+
+The application requires that crypto devices capable of performing
+the specified crypto operation are available on application initialization.
+This means that HW crypto device/s must be bound to a DPDK driver or
+a SW crypto device/s (virtual crypto PMD) must be created (using --vdev).
+
+To run the application in linuxapp environment with 2 lcores, 2 ports and 2 crypto devices, issue the command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ ./build/l2fwd -c 0x3 -n 4 --vdev "cryptodev_aesni_mb_pmd" \
+ --vdev "cryptodev_aesni_mb_pmd" -- -p 0x3 --chain CIPHER_HASH \
+ --cipher_op ENCRYPT --cipher_algo AES_CBC \
+ --cipher_key 00:01:02:03:04:05:06:07:08:09:0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f \
+ --auth_op GENERATE --auth_algo SHA1_HMAC \
+ --auth_key 10:11:12:13:14:15:16:17:18:19:1a:1b:1c:1d:1e:1f
+
+Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running applications
+and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The L2 forward with Crypto application demonstrates the performance of a crypto operation
+on a packet received on a RX PORT before forwarding it to a TX PORT.
+
+The following figure illustrates a sample flow of a packet in the application,
+from reception until transmission.
+
+.. _figure_l2_fwd_encrypt_flow:
+
+.. figure:: img/l2_fwd_encrypt_flow.*
+
+ Encryption flow Through the L2 Forwarding with Crypto Application
+
+
+The following sections provide some explanation of the application.
+
+Crypto operation specification
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+All the packets received in all the ports get transformed by the crypto device/s
+(ciphering and/or authentication).
+The crypto operation to be performed on the packet is parsed from the command line
+(go to "Running the Application section for all the options).
+
+If no parameter is passed, the default crypto operation is:
+
+* Encryption with AES-CBC with 128 bit key.
+
+* Authentication with SHA1-HMAC (generation).
+
+* Keys, IV and AAD are generated randomly.
+
+There are two methods to pass keys, IV and ADD from the command line:
+
+* Passing the full key, separated bytes by ":"::
+
+ --cipher_key 00:11:22:33:44
+
+* Passing the size, so key is generated randomly::
+
+ --cipher_key_random_size 16
+
+**Note**:
+ If full key is passed (first method) and the size is passed as well (second method),
+ the latter will be ignored.
+
+Size of these keys are checked (regardless the method), before starting the app,
+to make sure that it is supported by the crypto devices.
+
+Crypto device initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Once the encryption operation is defined, crypto devices are initialized.
+The crypto devices must be either bound to a DPDK driver (if they are physical devices)
+or created using the EAL option --vdev (if they are virtual devices),
+when running the application.
+
+The initialize_cryptodevs() function performs the device initialization.
+It iterates through the list of the available crypto devices and
+check which ones are capable of performing the operation.
+Each device has a set of capabilities associated with it,
+which are stored in the device info structure, so the function checks if the operation
+is within the structure of each device.
+
+The following code checks if the device supports the specified cipher algorithm
+(similar for the authentication algorithm):
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* Check if device supports cipher algo */
+ i = 0;
+ opt_cipher_algo = options->cipher_xform.cipher.algo;
+ cap = &dev_info.capabilities[i];
+ while (cap->op != RTE_CRYPTO_OP_TYPE_UNDEFINED) {
+ cap_cipher_algo = cap->sym.cipher.algo;
+ if (cap->sym.xform_type ==
+ RTE_CRYPTO_SYM_XFORM_CIPHER) {
+ if (cap_cipher_algo == opt_cipher_algo) {
+ if (check_type(options, &dev_info) == 0)
+ break;
+ }
+ }
+ cap = &dev_info.capabilities[++i];
+ }
+
+If a capable crypto device is found, key sizes are checked to see if they are supported
+(cipher key and IV for the ciphering):
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /*
+ * Check if length of provided cipher key is supported
+ * by the algorithm chosen.
+ */
+ if (options->ckey_param) {
+ if (check_supported_size(
+ options->cipher_xform.cipher.key.length,
+ cap->sym.cipher.key_size.min,
+ cap->sym.cipher.key_size.max,
+ cap->sym.cipher.key_size.increment)
+ != 0) {
+ printf("Unsupported cipher key length\n");
+ return -1;
+ }
+ /*
+ * Check if length of the cipher key to be randomly generated
+ * is supported by the algorithm chosen.
+ */
+ } else if (options->ckey_random_size != -1) {
+ if (check_supported_size(options->ckey_random_size,
+ cap->sym.cipher.key_size.min,
+ cap->sym.cipher.key_size.max,
+ cap->sym.cipher.key_size.increment)
+ != 0) {
+ printf("Unsupported cipher key length\n");
+ return -1;
+ }
+ options->cipher_xform.cipher.key.length =
+ options->ckey_random_size;
+ /* No size provided, use minimum size. */
+ } else
+ options->cipher_xform.cipher.key.length =
+ cap->sym.cipher.key_size.min;
+
+After all the checks, the device is configured and it is added to the
+crypto device list.
+
+**Note**:
+ The number of crypto devices that supports the specified crypto operation
+ must be at least the number of ports to be used.
+
+Session creation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The crypto operation has a crypto session associated to it, which contains
+information such as the transform chain to perform (e.g. ciphering then hashing),
+pointers to the keys, lengths... etc.
+
+This session is created and is later attached to the crypto operation:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static struct rte_cryptodev_sym_session *
+ initialize_crypto_session(struct l2fwd_crypto_options *options,
+ uint8_t cdev_id)
+ {
+ struct rte_crypto_sym_xform *first_xform;
+
+ if (options->xform_chain == L2FWD_CRYPTO_CIPHER_HASH) {
+ first_xform = &options->cipher_xform;
+ first_xform->next = &options->auth_xform;
+ } else if (options->xform_chain == L2FWD_CRYPTO_HASH_CIPHER) {
+ first_xform = &options->auth_xform;
+ first_xform->next = &options->cipher_xform;
+ } else if (options->xform_chain == L2FWD_CRYPTO_CIPHER_ONLY) {
+ first_xform = &options->cipher_xform;
+ } else {
+ first_xform = &options->auth_xform;
+ }
+
+ /* Setup Cipher Parameters */
+ return rte_cryptodev_sym_session_create(cdev_id, first_xform);
+ }
+
+ ...
+
+ port_cparams[i].session = initialize_crypto_session(options,
+ port_cparams[i].dev_id);
+
+Crypto operation creation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Given N packets received from a RX PORT, N crypto operations are allocated
+and filled:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ if (nb_rx) {
+ /*
+ * If we can't allocate a crypto_ops, then drop
+ * the rest of the burst and dequeue and
+ * process the packets to free offload structs
+ */
+ if (rte_crypto_op_bulk_alloc(
+ l2fwd_crypto_op_pool,
+ RTE_CRYPTO_OP_TYPE_SYMMETRIC,
+ ops_burst, nb_rx) !=
+ nb_rx) {
+ for (j = 0; j < nb_rx; j++)
+ rte_pktmbuf_free(pkts_burst[i]);
+
+ nb_rx = 0;
+ }
+
+After filling the crypto operation (including session attachment),
+the mbuf which will be transformed is attached to it::
+
+ op->sym->m_src = m;
+
+Since no destination mbuf is set, the source mbuf will be overwritten
+after the operation is done (in-place).
+
+Crypto operation enqueuing/dequeuing
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Once the operation has been created, it has to be enqueued in one of the crypto devices.
+Before doing so, for performance reasons, the operation stays in a buffer.
+When the buffer has enough operations (MAX_PKT_BURST), they are enqueued in the device,
+which will perform the operation at that moment:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static int
+ l2fwd_crypto_enqueue(struct rte_crypto_op *op,
+ struct l2fwd_crypto_params *cparams)
+ {
+ unsigned lcore_id, len;
+ struct lcore_queue_conf *qconf;
+
+ lcore_id = rte_lcore_id();
+
+ qconf = &lcore_queue_conf[lcore_id];
+ len = qconf->op_buf[cparams->dev_id].len;
+ qconf->op_buf[cparams->dev_id].buffer[len] = op;
+ len++;
+
+ /* enough ops to be sent */
+ if (len == MAX_PKT_BURST) {
+ l2fwd_crypto_send_burst(qconf, MAX_PKT_BURST, cparams);
+ len = 0;
+ }
+
+ qconf->op_buf[cparams->dev_id].len = len;
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+ ...
+
+ static int
+ l2fwd_crypto_send_burst(struct lcore_queue_conf *qconf, unsigned n,
+ struct l2fwd_crypto_params *cparams)
+ {
+ struct rte_crypto_op **op_buffer;
+ unsigned ret;
+
+ op_buffer = (struct rte_crypto_op **)
+ qconf->op_buf[cparams->dev_id].buffer;
+
+ ret = rte_cryptodev_enqueue_burst(cparams->dev_id,
+ cparams->qp_id, op_buffer, (uint16_t) n);
+
+ crypto_statistics[cparams->dev_id].enqueued += ret;
+ if (unlikely(ret < n)) {
+ crypto_statistics[cparams->dev_id].errors += (n - ret);
+ do {
+ rte_pktmbuf_free(op_buffer[ret]->sym->m_src);
+ rte_crypto_op_free(op_buffer[ret]);
+ } while (++ret < n);
+ }
+
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+After this, the operations are dequeued from the device, and the transformed mbuf
+is extracted from the operation. Then, the operation is freed and the mbuf is
+forwarded as it is done in the L2 forwarding application.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* Dequeue packets from Crypto device */
+ do {
+ nb_rx = rte_cryptodev_dequeue_burst(
+ cparams->dev_id, cparams->qp_id,
+ ops_burst, MAX_PKT_BURST);
+
+ crypto_statistics[cparams->dev_id].dequeued +=
+ nb_rx;
+
+ /* Forward crypto'd packets */
+ for (j = 0; j < nb_rx; j++) {
+ m = ops_burst[j]->sym->m_src;
+
+ rte_crypto_op_free(ops_burst[j]);
+ l2fwd_simple_forward(m, portid);
+ }
+ } while (nb_rx == MAX_PKT_BURST);

+L2 Forwarding Sample Application (in Real and Virtualized Environments) with core load statistics.
+==================================================================================================
+
+The L2 Forwarding sample application is a simple example of packet processing using
+the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) which
+also takes advantage of Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) features in a virtualized environment.
+
+.. note::
+
+ This application is a variation of L2 Forwarding sample application. It demonstrate possible
+ scheme of job stats library usage therefore some parts of this document is identical with original
+ L2 forwarding application.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The L2 Forwarding sample application, which can operate in real and virtualized environments,
+performs L2 forwarding for each packet that is received.
+The destination port is the adjacent port from the enabled portmask, that is,
+if the first four ports are enabled (portmask 0xf),
+ports 1 and 2 forward into each other, and ports 3 and 4 forward into each other.
+Also, the MAC addresses are affected as follows:
+
+* The source MAC address is replaced by the TX port MAC address
+
+* The destination MAC address is replaced by 02:00:00:00:00:TX_PORT_ID
+
+This application can be used to benchmark performance using a traffic-generator, as shown in the :numref:`figure_l2_fwd_benchmark_setup_jobstats`.
+
+The application can also be used in a virtualized environment as shown in :numref:`figure_l2_fwd_virtenv_benchmark_setup_jobstats`.
+
+The L2 Forwarding application can also be used as a starting point for developing a new application based on the DPDK.

+
+
+Virtual Function Setup Instructions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This application can use the virtual function available in the system and
+therefore can be used in a virtual machine without passing through
+the whole Network Device into a guest machine in a virtualized scenario.
+The virtual functions can be enabled in the host machine or the hypervisor with the respective physical function driver.
+
+For example, in a Linux* host machine, it is possible to enable a virtual function using the following command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ modprobe ixgbe max_vfs=2,2
+
+This command enables two Virtual Functions on each of Physical Function of the NIC,
+with two physical ports in the PCI configuration space.
+It is important to note that enabled Virtual Function 0 and 2 would belong to Physical Function 0
+and Virtual Function 1 and 3 would belong to Physical Function 1,
+in this case enabling a total of four Virtual Functions.
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+#. Go to the example directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/l2fwd-jobstats
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+ *See the DPDK Getting Started Guide* for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+The application requires a number of command line options:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/l2fwd-jobstats [EAL options] -- -p PORTMASK [-q NQ] [-l]
+
+where,
+
+* p PORTMASK: A hexadecimal bitmask of the ports to configure
+
+* q NQ: A number of queues (=ports) per lcore (default is 1)
+
+* l: Use locale thousands separator when formatting big numbers.
+
+To run the application in linuxapp environment with 4 lcores, 16 ports, 8 RX queues per lcore and
+thousands separator printing, issue the command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ ./build/l2fwd-jobstats -c f -n 4 -- -q 8 -p ffff -l
+
+Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running applications
+and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The following sections provide some explanation of the code.
+
+Command Line Arguments
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The L2 Forwarding sample application takes specific parameters,
+in addition to Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) arguments
+(see `Running the Application`_).
+The preferred way to parse parameters is to use the getopt() function,
+since it is part of a well-defined and portable library.
+
+The parsing of arguments is done in the l2fwd_parse_args() function.
+The method of argument parsing is not described here.
+Refer to the *glibc getopt(3)* man page for details.
+
+EAL arguments are parsed first, then application-specific arguments.
+This is done at the beginning of the main() function:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* init EAL */
+
+ ret = rte_eal_init(argc, argv);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Invalid EAL arguments\n");
+
+ argc -= ret;
+ argv += ret;
+
+ /* parse application arguments (after the EAL ones) */
+
+ ret = l2fwd_parse_args(argc, argv);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Invalid L2FWD arguments\n");
+
+Mbuf Pool Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Once the arguments are parsed, the mbuf pool is created.
+The mbuf pool contains a set of mbuf objects that will be used by the driver
+and the application to store network packet data:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* create the mbuf pool */
+ l2fwd_pktmbuf_pool =
+ rte_mempool_create("mbuf_pool", NB_MBUF,
+ MBUF_SIZE, 32,
+ sizeof(struct rte_pktmbuf_pool_private),
+ rte_pktmbuf_pool_init, NULL,
+ rte_pktmbuf_init, NULL,
+ rte_socket_id(), 0);
+
+ if (l2fwd_pktmbuf_pool == NULL)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Cannot init mbuf pool\n");
+
+The rte_mempool is a generic structure used to handle pools of objects.
+In this case, it is necessary to create a pool that will be used by the driver,
+which expects to have some reserved space in the mempool structure,
+sizeof(struct rte_pktmbuf_pool_private) bytes.
+The number of allocated pkt mbufs is NB_MBUF, with a size of MBUF_SIZE each.
+A per-lcore cache of 32 mbufs is kept.
+The memory is allocated in rte_socket_id() socket,
+but it is possible to extend this code to allocate one mbuf pool per socket.
+
+Two callback pointers are also given to the rte_mempool_create() function:
+
+* The first callback pointer is to rte_pktmbuf_pool_init() and is used
+ to initialize the private data of the mempool, which is needed by the driver.
+ This function is provided by the mbuf API, but can be copied and extended by the developer.
+
+* The second callback pointer given to rte_mempool_create() is the mbuf initializer.
+ The default is used, that is, rte_pktmbuf_init(), which is provided in the rte_mbuf library.
+ If a more complex application wants to extend the rte_pktmbuf structure for its own needs,
+ a new function derived from rte_pktmbuf_init( ) can be created.
+
+Driver Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The main part of the code in the main() function relates to the initialization of the driver.
+To fully understand this code, it is recommended to study the chapters that related to the Poll Mode Driver
+in the *DPDK Programmer's Guide* and the *DPDK API Reference*.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ nb_ports = rte_eth_dev_count();
+
+ if (nb_ports == 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "No Ethernet ports - bye\n");
+
+ if (nb_ports > RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS)
+ nb_ports = RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS;
+
+ /* reset l2fwd_dst_ports */
+
+ for (portid = 0; portid < RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS; portid++)
+ l2fwd_dst_ports[portid] = 0;
+
+ last_port = 0;
+
+ /*
+ * Each logical core is assigned a dedicated TX queue on each port.
+ */
+ for (portid = 0; portid < nb_ports; portid++) {
+ /* skip ports that are not enabled */
+ if ((l2fwd_enabled_port_mask & (1 << portid)) == 0)
+ continue;
+
+ if (nb_ports_in_mask % 2) {
+ l2fwd_dst_ports[portid] = last_port;
+ l2fwd_dst_ports[last_port] = portid;
+ }
+ else
+ last_port = portid;
+
+ nb_ports_in_mask++;
+
+ rte_eth_dev_info_get((uint8_t) portid, &dev_info);
+ }
+
+The next step is to configure the RX and TX queues.
+For each port, there is only one RX queue (only one lcore is able to poll a given port).
+The number of TX queues depends on the number of available lcores.
+The rte_eth_dev_configure() function is used to configure the number of queues for a port:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ ret = rte_eth_dev_configure((uint8_t)portid, 1, 1, &port_conf);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Cannot configure device: "
+ "err=%d, port=%u\n",
+ ret, portid);
+
+The global configuration is stored in a static structure:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static const struct rte_eth_conf port_conf = {
+ .rxmode = {
+ .split_hdr_size = 0,
+ .header_split = 0, /**< Header Split disabled */
+ .hw_ip_checksum = 0, /**< IP checksum offload disabled */
+ .hw_vlan_filter = 0, /**< VLAN filtering disabled */
+ .jumbo_frame = 0, /**< Jumbo Frame Support disabled */
+ .hw_strip_crc= 0, /**< CRC stripped by hardware */
+ },
+
+ .txmode = {
+ .mq_mode = ETH_DCB_NONE
+ },
+ };
+
+RX Queue Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The application uses one lcore to poll one or several ports, depending on the -q option,
+which specifies the number of queues per lcore.
+
+For example, if the user specifies -q 4, the application is able to poll four ports with one lcore.
+If there are 16 ports on the target (and if the portmask argument is -p ffff ),
+the application will need four lcores to poll all the ports.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ ret = rte_eth_rx_queue_setup(portid, 0, nb_rxd,
+ rte_eth_dev_socket_id(portid),
+ NULL,
+ l2fwd_pktmbuf_pool);
+
+ if (ret < 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "rte_eth_rx_queue_setup:err=%d, port=%u\n",
+ ret, (unsigned) portid);
+
+The list of queues that must be polled for a given lcore is stored in a private structure called struct lcore_queue_conf.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct lcore_queue_conf {
+ unsigned n_rx_port;
+ unsigned rx_port_list[MAX_RX_QUEUE_PER_LCORE];
+ truct mbuf_table tx_mbufs[RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS];
+
+ struct rte_timer rx_timers[MAX_RX_QUEUE_PER_LCORE];
+ struct rte_jobstats port_fwd_jobs[MAX_RX_QUEUE_PER_LCORE];
+
+ struct rte_timer flush_timer;
+ struct rte_jobstats flush_job;
+ struct rte_jobstats idle_job;
+ struct rte_jobstats_context jobs_context;
+
+ rte_atomic16_t stats_read_pending;
+ rte_spinlock_t lock;
+ } __rte_cache_aligned;
+
+Values of struct lcore_queue_conf:
+
+* n_rx_port and rx_port_list[] are used in the main packet processing loop
+ (see Section `Receive, Process and Transmit Packets`_ later in this chapter).
+
+* rx_timers and flush_timer are used to ensure forced TX on low packet rate.
+
+* flush_job, idle_job and jobs_context are librte_jobstats objects used for managing l2fwd jobs.
+
+* stats_read_pending and lock are used during job stats read phase.
+
+TX Queue Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Each lcore should be able to transmit on any port. For every port, a single TX queue is initialized.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* init one TX queue on each port */
+
+ fflush(stdout);
+ ret = rte_eth_tx_queue_setup(portid, 0, nb_txd,
+ rte_eth_dev_socket_id(portid),
+ NULL);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "rte_eth_tx_queue_setup:err=%d, port=%u\n",
+ ret, (unsigned) portid);
+
+Jobs statistics initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+There are several statistics objects available:
+
+* Flush job statistics
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ rte_jobstats_init(&qconf->flush_job, "flush", drain_tsc, drain_tsc,
+ drain_tsc, 0);
+
+ rte_timer_init(&qconf->flush_timer);
+ ret = rte_timer_reset(&qconf->flush_timer, drain_tsc, PERIODICAL,
+ lcore_id, &l2fwd_flush_job, NULL);
+
+ if (ret < 0) {
+ rte_exit(1, "Failed to reset flush job timer for lcore %u: %s",
+ lcore_id, rte_strerror(-ret));
+ }
+
+* Statistics per RX port
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ rte_jobstats_init(job, name, 0, drain_tsc, 0, MAX_PKT_BURST);
+ rte_jobstats_set_update_period_function(job, l2fwd_job_update_cb);
+
+ rte_timer_init(&qconf->rx_timers[i]);
+ ret = rte_timer_reset(&qconf->rx_timers[i], 0, PERIODICAL, lcore_id,
+ l2fwd_fwd_job, (void *)(uintptr_t)i);
+
+ if (ret < 0) {
+ rte_exit(1, "Failed to reset lcore %u port %u job timer: %s",
+ lcore_id, qconf->rx_port_list[i], rte_strerror(-ret));
+ }
+
+Following parameters are passed to rte_jobstats_init():
+
+* 0 as minimal poll period
+
+* drain_tsc as maximum poll period
+
+* MAX_PKT_BURST as desired target value (RX burst size)
+
+Main loop
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+The forwarding path is reworked comparing to original L2 Forwarding application.
+In the l2fwd_main_loop() function three loops are placed.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ for (;;) {
+ rte_spinlock_lock(&qconf->lock);
+
+ do {
+ rte_jobstats_context_start(&qconf->jobs_context);
+
+ /* Do the Idle job:
+ * - Read stats_read_pending flag
+ * - check if some real job need to be executed
+ */
+ rte_jobstats_start(&qconf->jobs_context, &qconf->idle_job);
+
+ do {
+ uint8_t i;
+ uint64_t now = rte_get_timer_cycles();
+
+ need_manage = qconf->flush_timer.expire < now;
+ /* Check if we was esked to give a stats. */
+ stats_read_pending =
+ rte_atomic16_read(&qconf->stats_read_pending);
+ need_manage |= stats_read_pending;
+
+ for (i = 0; i < qconf->n_rx_port && !need_manage; i++)
+ need_manage = qconf->rx_timers[i].expire < now;
+
+ } while (!need_manage);
+ rte_jobstats_finish(&qconf->idle_job, qconf->idle_job.target);
+
+ rte_timer_manage();
+ rte_jobstats_context_finish(&qconf->jobs_context);
+ } while (likely(stats_read_pending == 0));
+
+ rte_spinlock_unlock(&qconf->lock);
+ rte_pause();
+ }
+
+First infinite for loop is to minimize impact of stats reading. Lock is only locked/unlocked when asked.
+
+Second inner while loop do the whole jobs management. When any job is ready, the use rte_timer_manage() is used to call the job handler.
+In this place functions l2fwd_fwd_job() and l2fwd_flush_job() are called when needed.
+Then rte_jobstats_context_finish() is called to mark loop end - no other jobs are ready to execute. By this time stats are ready to be read
+and if stats_read_pending is set, loop breaks allowing stats to be read.
+
+Third do-while loop is the idle job (idle stats counter). Its only purpose is monitoring if any job is ready or stats job read is pending
+for this lcore. Statistics from this part of code is considered as the headroom available for additional processing.
+
+Receive, Process and Transmit Packets
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The main task of l2fwd_fwd_job() function is to read ingress packets from the RX queue of particular port and forward it.
+This is done using the following code:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ total_nb_rx = rte_eth_rx_burst((uint8_t) portid, 0, pkts_burst,
+ MAX_PKT_BURST);
+
+ for (j = 0; j < total_nb_rx; j++) {
+ m = pkts_burst[j];
+ rte_prefetch0(rte_pktmbuf_mtod(m, void *));
+ l2fwd_simple_forward(m, portid);
+ }
+
+Packets are read in a burst of size MAX_PKT_BURST.
+Then, each mbuf in the table is processed by the l2fwd_simple_forward() function.
+The processing is very simple: process the TX port from the RX port, then replace the source and destination MAC addresses.
+
+The rte_eth_rx_burst() function writes the mbuf pointers in a local table and returns the number of available mbufs in the table.
+
+After first read second try is issued.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ if (total_nb_rx == MAX_PKT_BURST) {
+ const uint16_t nb_rx = rte_eth_rx_burst((uint8_t) portid, 0, pkts_burst,
+ MAX_PKT_BURST);
+
+ total_nb_rx += nb_rx;
+ for (j = 0; j < nb_rx; j++) {
+ m = pkts_burst[j];
+ rte_prefetch0(rte_pktmbuf_mtod(m, void *));
+ l2fwd_simple_forward(m, portid);
+ }
+ }
+
+This second read is important to give job stats library a feedback how many packets was processed.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* Adjust period time in which we are running here. */
+ if (rte_jobstats_finish(job, total_nb_rx) != 0) {
+ rte_timer_reset(&qconf->rx_timers[port_idx], job->period, PERIODICAL,
+ lcore_id, l2fwd_fwd_job, arg);
+ }
+
+To maximize performance exactly MAX_PKT_BURST is expected (the target value) to be read for each l2fwd_fwd_job() call.
+If total_nb_rx is smaller than target value job->period will be increased. If it is greater the period will be decreased.
+
+.. note::
+
+ In the following code, one line for getting the output port requires some explanation.
+
+During the initialization process, a static array of destination ports (l2fwd_dst_ports[]) is filled such that for each source port,
+a destination port is assigned that is either the next or previous enabled port from the portmask.
+Naturally, the number of ports in the portmask must be even, otherwise, the application exits.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static void
+ l2fwd_simple_forward(struct rte_mbuf *m, unsigned portid)
+ {
+ struct ether_hdr *eth;
+ void *tmp;
+ unsigned dst_port;
+
+ dst_port = l2fwd_dst_ports[portid];
+
+ eth = rte_pktmbuf_mtod(m, struct ether_hdr *);
+
+ /* 02:00:00:00:00:xx */
+
+ tmp = &eth->d_addr.addr_bytes[0];
+
+ *((uint64_t *)tmp) = 0x000000000002 + ((uint64_t) dst_port << 40);
+
+ /* src addr */
+
+ ether_addr_copy(&l2fwd_ports_eth_addr[dst_port], &eth->s_addr);
+
+ l2fwd_send_packet(m, (uint8_t) dst_port);
+ }
+
+Then, the packet is sent using the l2fwd_send_packet (m, dst_port) function.
+For this test application, the processing is exactly the same for all packets arriving on the same RX port.
+Therefore, it would have been possible to call the l2fwd_send_burst() function directly from the main loop
+to send all the received packets on the same TX port,
+using the burst-oriented send function, which is more efficient.
+
+However, in real-life applications (such as, L3 routing),
+packet N is not necessarily forwarded on the same port as packet N-1.
+The application is implemented to illustrate that, so the same approach can be reused in a more complex application.
+
+The l2fwd_send_packet() function stores the packet in a per-lcore and per-txport table.
+If the table is full, the whole packets table is transmitted using the l2fwd_send_burst() function:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* Send the packet on an output interface */
+
+ static int
+ l2fwd_send_packet(struct rte_mbuf *m, uint8_t port)
+ {
+ unsigned lcore_id, len;
+ struct lcore_queue_conf *qconf;
+
+ lcore_id = rte_lcore_id();
+ qconf = &lcore_queue_conf[lcore_id];
+ len = qconf->tx_mbufs[port].len;
+ qconf->tx_mbufs[port].m_table[len] = m;
+ len++;
+
+ /* enough pkts to be sent */
+
+ if (unlikely(len == MAX_PKT_BURST)) {
+ l2fwd_send_burst(qconf, MAX_PKT_BURST, port);
+ len = 0;
+ }
+
+ qconf->tx_mbufs[port].len = len; return 0;
+ }
+
+To ensure that no packets remain in the tables, the flush job exists. The l2fwd_flush_job()
+is called periodically to for each lcore draining TX queue of each port.
+This technique introduces some latency when there are not many packets to send,
+however it improves performance:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static void
+ l2fwd_flush_job(__rte_unused struct rte_timer *timer, __rte_unused void *arg)
+ {
+ uint64_t now;
+ unsigned lcore_id;
+ struct lcore_queue_conf *qconf;
+ struct mbuf_table *m_table;
+ uint8_t portid;
+
+ lcore_id = rte_lcore_id();
+ qconf = &lcore_queue_conf[lcore_id];
+
+ rte_jobstats_start(&qconf->jobs_context, &qconf->flush_job);
+
+ now = rte_get_timer_cycles();
+ lcore_id = rte_lcore_id();
+ qconf = &lcore_queue_conf[lcore_id];
+ for (portid = 0; portid < RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS; portid++) {
+ m_table = &qconf->tx_mbufs[portid];
+ if (m_table->len == 0 || m_table->next_flush_time <= now)
+ continue;
+
+ l2fwd_send_burst(qconf, portid);
+ }
+
+
+ /* Pass target to indicate that this job is happy of time interval
+ * in which it was called. */
+ rte_jobstats_finish(&qconf->flush_job, qconf->flush_job.target);
+ }

+L2 Forwarding Sample Application (in Real and Virtualized Environments)
+=======================================================================
+
+The L2 Forwarding sample application is a simple example of packet processing using
+the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) which
+also takes advantage of Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) features in a virtualized environment.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Please note that previously a separate L2 Forwarding in Virtualized Environments sample application was used,
+ however, in later DPDK versions these sample applications have been merged.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The L2 Forwarding sample application, which can operate in real and virtualized environments,
+performs L2 forwarding for each packet that is received on an RX_PORT.
+The destination port is the adjacent port from the enabled portmask, that is,
+if the first four ports are enabled (portmask 0xf),
+ports 1 and 2 forward into each other, and ports 3 and 4 forward into each other.
+Also, the MAC addresses are affected as follows:
+
+* The source MAC address is replaced by the TX_PORT MAC address
+
+* The destination MAC address is replaced by 02:00:00:00:00:TX_PORT_ID
+
+This application can be used to benchmark performance using a traffic-generator, as shown in the :numref:`figure_l2_fwd_benchmark_setup`.
+
+The application can also be used in a virtualized environment as shown in :numref:`figure_l2_fwd_virtenv_benchmark_setup`.
+
+The L2 Forwarding application can also be used as a starting point for developing a new application based on the DPDK.

+
+Virtual Function Setup Instructions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This application can use the virtual function available in the system and
+therefore can be used in a virtual machine without passing through
+the whole Network Device into a guest machine in a virtualized scenario.
+The virtual functions can be enabled in the host machine or the hypervisor with the respective physical function driver.
+
+For example, in a Linux* host machine, it is possible to enable a virtual function using the following command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ modprobe ixgbe max_vfs=2,2
+
+This command enables two Virtual Functions on each of Physical Function of the NIC,
+with two physical ports in the PCI configuration space.
+It is important to note that enabled Virtual Function 0 and 2 would belong to Physical Function 0
+and Virtual Function 1 and 3 would belong to Physical Function 1,
+in this case enabling a total of four Virtual Functions.
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+#. Go to the example directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/l2fwd
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+ *See the DPDK Getting Started Guide* for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+The application requires a number of command line options:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/l2fwd [EAL options] -- -p PORTMASK [-q NQ]
+
+where,
+
+* p PORTMASK: A hexadecimal bitmask of the ports to configure
+
+* q NQ: A number of queues (=ports) per lcore (default is 1)
+
+To run the application in linuxapp environment with 4 lcores, 16 ports and 8 RX queues per lcore, issue the command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ ./build/l2fwd -c f -n 4 -- -q 8 -p ffff
+
+Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running applications
+and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.

+The L2 Forwarding sample application takes specific parameters,
+in addition to Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) arguments.
+The preferred way to parse parameters is to use the getopt() function,
+since it is part of a well-defined and portable library.
+
+The parsing of arguments is done in the l2fwd_parse_args() function.
+The method of argument parsing is not described here.
+Refer to the *glibc getopt(3)* man page for details.
+
+EAL arguments are parsed first, then application-specific arguments.
+This is done at the beginning of the main() function:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* init EAL */
+
+ ret = rte_eal_init(argc, argv);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Invalid EAL arguments\n");
+
+ argc -= ret;
+ argv += ret;
+
+ /* parse application arguments (after the EAL ones) */
+
+ ret = l2fwd_parse_args(argc, argv);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Invalid L2FWD arguments\n");
+
+.. _l2_fwd_app_mbuf_init:
+
+Mbuf Pool Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Once the arguments are parsed, the mbuf pool is created.
+The mbuf pool contains a set of mbuf objects that will be used by the driver
+and the application to store network packet data:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* create the mbuf pool */
+
+ l2fwd_pktmbuf_pool = rte_mempool_create("mbuf_pool", NB_MBUF, MBUF_SIZE, 32, sizeof(struct rte_pktmbuf_pool_private),
+ rte_pktmbuf_pool_init, NULL, rte_pktmbuf_init, NULL, SOCKET0, 0);
+
+ if (l2fwd_pktmbuf_pool == NULL)
+ rte_panic("Cannot init mbuf pool\n");
+
+The rte_mempool is a generic structure used to handle pools of objects.
+In this case, it is necessary to create a pool that will be used by the driver,
+which expects to have some reserved space in the mempool structure,
+sizeof(struct rte_pktmbuf_pool_private) bytes.
+The number of allocated pkt mbufs is NB_MBUF, with a size of MBUF_SIZE each.
+A per-lcore cache of 32 mbufs is kept.
+The memory is allocated in NUMA socket 0,
+but it is possible to extend this code to allocate one mbuf pool per socket.
+
+Two callback pointers are also given to the rte_mempool_create() function:
+
+* The first callback pointer is to rte_pktmbuf_pool_init() and is used
+ to initialize the private data of the mempool, which is needed by the driver.
+ This function is provided by the mbuf API, but can be copied and extended by the developer.
+
+* The second callback pointer given to rte_mempool_create() is the mbuf initializer.
+ The default is used, that is, rte_pktmbuf_init(), which is provided in the rte_mbuf library.
+ If a more complex application wants to extend the rte_pktmbuf structure for its own needs,
+ a new function derived from rte_pktmbuf_init( ) can be created.
+
+.. _l2_fwd_app_dvr_init:
+
+Driver Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The main part of the code in the main() function relates to the initialization of the driver.
+To fully understand this code, it is recommended to study the chapters that related to the Poll Mode Driver
+in the *DPDK Programmer's Guide* - Rel 1.4 EAR and the *DPDK API Reference*.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ if (rte_eal_pci_probe() < 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Cannot probe PCI\n");
+
+ nb_ports = rte_eth_dev_count();
+
+ if (nb_ports == 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "No Ethernet ports - bye\n");
+
+ if (nb_ports > RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS)
+ nb_ports = RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS;
+
+ /* reset l2fwd_dst_ports */
+
+ for (portid = 0; portid < RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS; portid++)
+ l2fwd_dst_ports[portid] = 0;
+
+ last_port = 0;
+
+ /*
+ * Each logical core is assigned a dedicated TX queue on each port.
+ */
+
+ for (portid = 0; portid < nb_ports; portid++) {
+ /* skip ports that are not enabled */
+
+ if ((l2fwd_enabled_port_mask & (1 << portid)) == 0)
+ continue;
+
+ if (nb_ports_in_mask % 2) {
+ l2fwd_dst_ports[portid] = last_port;
+ l2fwd_dst_ports[last_port] = portid;
+ }
+ else
+ last_port = portid;
+
+ nb_ports_in_mask++;
+
+ rte_eth_dev_info_get((uint8_t) portid, &dev_info);
+ }
+
+Observe that:
+
+* rte_igb_pmd_init_all() simultaneously registers the driver as a PCI driver and as an Ethernet* Poll Mode Driver.
+
+* rte_eal_pci_probe() parses the devices on the PCI bus and initializes recognized devices.
+
+The next step is to configure the RX and TX queues.
+For each port, there is only one RX queue (only one lcore is able to poll a given port).
+The number of TX queues depends on the number of available lcores.
+The rte_eth_dev_configure() function is used to configure the number of queues for a port:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ ret = rte_eth_dev_configure((uint8_t)portid, 1, 1, &port_conf);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Cannot configure device: "
+ "err=%d, port=%u\n",
+ ret, portid);
+
+The global configuration is stored in a static structure:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static const struct rte_eth_conf port_conf = {
+ .rxmode = {
+ .split_hdr_size = 0,
+ .header_split = 0, /**< Header Split disabled */
+ .hw_ip_checksum = 0, /**< IP checksum offload disabled */
+ .hw_vlan_filter = 0, /**< VLAN filtering disabled */
+ .jumbo_frame = 0, /**< Jumbo Frame Support disabled */
+ .hw_strip_crc= 0, /**< CRC stripped by hardware */
+ },
+
+ .txmode = {
+ .mq_mode = ETH_DCB_NONE
+ },
+ };
+
+.. _l2_fwd_app_rx_init:
+
+RX Queue Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The application uses one lcore to poll one or several ports, depending on the -q option,
+which specifies the number of queues per lcore.
+
+For example, if the user specifies -q 4, the application is able to poll four ports with one lcore.
+If there are 16 ports on the target (and if the portmask argument is -p ffff ),
+the application will need four lcores to poll all the ports.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ ret = rte_eth_rx_queue_setup((uint8_t) portid, 0, nb_rxd, SOCKET0, &rx_conf, l2fwd_pktmbuf_pool);
+ if (ret < 0)
+
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "rte_eth_rx_queue_setup: "
+ "err=%d, port=%u\n",
+ ret, portid);
+
+The list of queues that must be polled for a given lcore is stored in a private structure called struct lcore_queue_conf.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct lcore_queue_conf {
+ unsigned n_rx_port;
+ unsigned rx_port_list[MAX_RX_QUEUE_PER_LCORE];
+ struct mbuf_table tx_mbufs[L2FWD_MAX_PORTS];
+ } rte_cache_aligned;
+
+ struct lcore_queue_conf lcore_queue_conf[RTE_MAX_LCORE];
+
+The values n_rx_port and rx_port_list[] are used in the main packet processing loop
+(see :ref:`l2_fwd_app_rx_tx_packets`).
+
+The global configuration for the RX queues is stored in a static structure:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static const struct rte_eth_rxconf rx_conf = {
+ .rx_thresh = {
+ .pthresh = RX_PTHRESH,
+ .hthresh = RX_HTHRESH,
+ .wthresh = RX_WTHRESH,
+ },
+ };
+
+.. _l2_fwd_app_tx_init:
+
+TX Queue Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Each lcore should be able to transmit on any port. For every port, a single TX queue is initialized.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* init one TX queue on each port */
+
+ fflush(stdout);
+
+ ret = rte_eth_tx_queue_setup((uint8_t) portid, 0, nb_txd, rte_eth_dev_socket_id(portid), &tx_conf);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "rte_eth_tx_queue_setup:err=%d, port=%u\n", ret, (unsigned) portid);
+
+The global configuration for TX queues is stored in a static structure:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static const struct rte_eth_txconf tx_conf = {
+ .tx_thresh = {
+ .pthresh = TX_PTHRESH,
+ .hthresh = TX_HTHRESH,
+ .wthresh = TX_WTHRESH,
+ },
+ .tx_free_thresh = RTE_TEST_TX_DESC_DEFAULT + 1, /* disable feature */
+ };
+
+.. _l2_fwd_app_rx_tx_packets:
+
+Receive, Process and Transmit Packets
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In the l2fwd_main_loop() function, the main task is to read ingress packets from the RX queues.
+This is done using the following code:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /*
+ * Read packet from RX queues
+ */
+
+ for (i = 0; i < qconf->n_rx_port; i++) {
+ portid = qconf->rx_port_list[i];
+ nb_rx = rte_eth_rx_burst((uint8_t) portid, 0, pkts_burst, MAX_PKT_BURST);
+
+ for (j = 0; j < nb_rx; j++) {
+ m = pkts_burst[j];
+ rte_prefetch0[rte_pktmbuf_mtod(m, void *)); l2fwd_simple_forward(m, portid);
+ }
+ }
+
+Packets are read in a burst of size MAX_PKT_BURST.
+The rte_eth_rx_burst() function writes the mbuf pointers in a local table and returns the number of available mbufs in the table.
+
+Then, each mbuf in the table is processed by the l2fwd_simple_forward() function.
+The processing is very simple: process the TX port from the RX port, then replace the source and destination MAC addresses.
+
+.. note::
+
+ In the following code, one line for getting the output port requires some explanation.
+
+During the initialization process, a static array of destination ports (l2fwd_dst_ports[]) is filled such that for each source port,
+a destination port is assigned that is either the next or previous enabled port from the portmask.
+Naturally, the number of ports in the portmask must be even, otherwise, the application exits.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static void
+ l2fwd_simple_forward(struct rte_mbuf *m, unsigned portid)
+ {
+ struct ether_hdr *eth;
+ void *tmp;
+ unsigned dst_port;
+
+ dst_port = l2fwd_dst_ports[portid];
+
+ eth = rte_pktmbuf_mtod(m, struct ether_hdr *);
+
+ /* 02:00:00:00:00:xx */
+
+ tmp = &eth->d_addr.addr_bytes[0];
+
+ *((uint64_t *)tmp) = 0x000000000002 + ((uint64_t) dst_port << 40);
+
+ /* src addr */
+
+ ether_addr_copy(&l2fwd_ports_eth_addr[dst_port], &eth->s_addr);
+
+ l2fwd_send_packet(m, (uint8_t) dst_port);
+ }
+
+Then, the packet is sent using the l2fwd_send_packet (m, dst_port) function.
+For this test application, the processing is exactly the same for all packets arriving on the same RX port.
+Therefore, it would have been possible to call the l2fwd_send_burst() function directly from the main loop
+to send all the received packets on the same TX port,
+using the burst-oriented send function, which is more efficient.
+
+However, in real-life applications (such as, L3 routing),
+packet N is not necessarily forwarded on the same port as packet N-1.
+The application is implemented to illustrate that, so the same approach can be reused in a more complex application.
+
+The l2fwd_send_packet() function stores the packet in a per-lcore and per-txport table.
+If the table is full, the whole packets table is transmitted using the l2fwd_send_burst() function:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* Send the packet on an output interface */
+
+ static int
+ l2fwd_send_packet(struct rte_mbuf *m, uint8_t port)
+ {
+ unsigned lcore_id, len;
+ struct lcore_queue_conf \*qconf;
+
+ lcore_id = rte_lcore_id();
+ qconf = &lcore_queue_conf[lcore_id];
+ len = qconf->tx_mbufs[port].len;
+ qconf->tx_mbufs[port].m_table[len] = m;
+ len++;
+
+ /* enough pkts to be sent */
+
+ if (unlikely(len == MAX_PKT_BURST)) {
+ l2fwd_send_burst(qconf, MAX_PKT_BURST, port);
+ len = 0;
+ }
+
+ qconf->tx_mbufs[port].len = len; return 0;
+ }
+
+To ensure that no packets remain in the tables, each lcore does a draining of TX queue in its main loop.
+This technique introduces some latency when there are not many packets to send,
+however it improves performance:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ cur_tsc = rte_rdtsc();
+
+ /*
+ * TX burst queue drain
+ */
+
+ diff_tsc = cur_tsc - prev_tsc;
+
+ if (unlikely(diff_tsc > drain_tsc)) {
+ for (portid = 0; portid < RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS; portid++) {
+ if (qconf->tx_mbufs[portid].len == 0)
+ continue;
+
+ l2fwd_send_burst(&lcore_queue_conf[lcore_id], qconf->tx_mbufs[portid].len, (uint8_t) portid);
+
+ qconf->tx_mbufs[portid].len = 0;
+ }
+
+ /* if timer is enabled */
+
+ if (timer_period > 0) {
+ /* advance the timer */
+
+ timer_tsc += diff_tsc;
+
+ /* if timer has reached its timeout */
+
+ if (unlikely(timer_tsc >= (uint64_t) timer_period)) {
+ /* do this only on master core */
+
+ if (lcore_id == rte_get_master_lcore()) {
+ print_stats();
+
+ /* reset the timer */
+ timer_tsc = 0;
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+ prev_tsc = cur_tsc;
+ }

+
+L3 Forwarding Sample Application
+================================
+
+The L3 Forwarding application is a simple example of packet processing using the DPDK.
+The application performs L3 forwarding.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The application demonstrates the use of the hash and LPM libraries in the DPDK to implement packet forwarding.
+The initialization and run-time paths are very similar to those of the :doc:`l2_forward_real_virtual`.
+The main difference from the L2 Forwarding sample application is that the forwarding decision
+is made based on information read from the input packet.
+
+The lookup method is either hash-based or LPM-based and is selected at compile time. When the selected lookup method is hash-based,
+a hash object is used to emulate the flow classification stage.
+The hash object is used in correlation with a flow table to map each input packet to its flow at runtime.
+
+The hash lookup key is represented by a DiffServ 5-tuple composed of the following fields read from the input packet:
+Source IP Address, Destination IP Address, Protocol, Source Port and Destination Port.
+The ID of the output interface for the input packet is read from the identified flow table entry.
+The set of flows used by the application is statically configured and loaded into the hash at initialization time.
+When the selected lookup method is LPM based, an LPM object is used to emulate the forwarding stage for IPv4 packets.
+The LPM object is used as the routing table to identify the next hop for each input packet at runtime.
+
+The LPM lookup key is represented by the Destination IP Address field read from the input packet.
+The ID of the output interface for the input packet is the next hop returned by the LPM lookup.
+The set of LPM rules used by the application is statically configured and loaded into the LPM object at initialization time.
+
+In the sample application, hash-based forwarding supports IPv4 and IPv6. LPM-based forwarding supports IPv4 only.
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+To compile the application:
+
+#. Go to the sample application directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/l3fwd
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+ See the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+The application has a number of command line options:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/l3fwd [EAL options] -- -p PORTMASK [-P] --config(port,queue,lcore)[,(port,queue,lcore)] [--enable-jumbo [--max-pkt-len PKTLEN]] [--no-numa][--hash-entry-num][--ipv6] [--parse-ptype]
+
+where,
+
+* -p PORTMASK: Hexadecimal bitmask of ports to configure
+
+* -P: optional, sets all ports to promiscuous mode so that packets are accepted regardless of the packet's Ethernet MAC destination address.
+ Without this option, only packets with the Ethernet MAC destination address set to the Ethernet address of the port are accepted.
+
+* --config (port,queue,lcore)[,(port,queue,lcore)]: determines which queues from which ports are mapped to which cores
+
+* --enable-jumbo: optional, enables jumbo frames
+
+* --max-pkt-len: optional, maximum packet length in decimal (64-9600)
+
+* --no-numa: optional, disables numa awareness
+
+* --hash-entry-num: optional, specifies the hash entry number in hexadecimal to be setup
+
+* --ipv6: optional, set it if running ipv6 packets
+
+* --parse-ptype: optional, set it if use software way to analyze packet type
+
+For example, consider a dual processor socket platform where cores 0-7 and 16-23 appear on socket 0, while cores 8-15 and 24-31 appear on socket 1.
+Let's say that the programmer wants to use memory from both NUMA nodes, the platform has only two ports, one connected to each NUMA node,
+and the programmer wants to use two cores from each processor socket to do the packet processing.
+
+To enable L3 forwarding between two ports, using two cores, cores 1 and 2, from each processor,
+while also taking advantage of local memory access by optimizing around NUMA, the programmer must enable two queues from each port,
+pin to the appropriate cores and allocate memory from the appropriate NUMA node. This is achieved using the following command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/l3fwd -c 606 -n 4 -- -p 0x3 --config="(0,0,1),(0,1,2),(1,0,9),(1,1,10)"
+
+In this command:
+
+* The -c option enables cores 0, 1, 2, 3
+
+* The -p option enables ports 0 and 1
+
+* The --config option enables two queues on each port and maps each (port,queue) pair to a specific core.
+ Logic to enable multiple RX queues using RSS and to allocate memory from the correct NUMA nodes
+ is included in the application and is done transparently.
+ The following table shows the mapping in this example:
+
++----------+-----------+-----------+-------------------------------------+
+| **Port** | **Queue** | **lcore** | **Description** |
+| | | | |
++----------+-----------+-----------+-------------------------------------+
+| 0 | 0 | 0 | Map queue 0 from port 0 to lcore 0. |
+| | | | |
++----------+-----------+-----------+-------------------------------------+
+| 0 | 1 | 2 | Map queue 1 from port 0 to lcore 2. |
+| | | | |
++----------+-----------+-----------+-------------------------------------+
+| 1 | 0 | 1 | Map queue 0 from port 1 to lcore 1. |
+| | | | |
++----------+-----------+-----------+-------------------------------------+
+| 1 | 1 | 3 | Map queue 1 from port 1 to lcore 3. |
+| | | | |
++----------+-----------+-----------+-------------------------------------+
+
+Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running applications and
+the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
+
+.. _l3_fwd_explanation:
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The following sections provide some explanation of the sample application code. As mentioned in the overview section,
+the initialization and run-time paths are very similar to those of the :doc:`l2_forward_real_virtual`.
+The following sections describe aspects that are specific to the L3 Forwarding sample application.
+
+Hash Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The hash object is created and loaded with the pre-configured entries read from a global array,
+and then generate the expected 5-tuple as key to keep consistence with those of real flow
+for the convenience to execute hash performance test on 4M/8M/16M flows.
+
+.. note::
+
+ The Hash initialization will setup both ipv4 and ipv6 hash table,
+ and populate the either table depending on the value of variable ipv6.
+ To support the hash performance test with up to 8M single direction flows/16M bi-direction flows,
+ populate_ipv4_many_flow_into_table() function will populate the hash table with specified hash table entry number(default 4M).
+
+.. note::
+
+ Value of global variable ipv6 can be specified with --ipv6 in the command line.
+ Value of global variable hash_entry_number,
+ which is used to specify the total hash entry number for all used ports in hash performance test,
+ can be specified with --hash-entry-num VALUE in command line, being its default value 4.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ #if (APP_LOOKUP_METHOD == APP_LOOKUP_EXACT_MATCH)
+
+ static void
+ setup_hash(int socketid)
+ {
+ // ...
+
+ if (hash_entry_number != HASH_ENTRY_NUMBER_DEFAULT) {
+ if (ipv6 == 0) {
+ /* populate the ipv4 hash */
+ populate_ipv4_many_flow_into_table(ipv4_l3fwd_lookup_struct[socketid], hash_entry_number);
+ } else {
+ /* populate the ipv6 hash */
+ populate_ipv6_many_flow_into_table( ipv6_l3fwd_lookup_struct[socketid], hash_entry_number);
+ }
+ } else
+ if (ipv6 == 0) {
+ /* populate the ipv4 hash */
+ populate_ipv4_few_flow_into_table(ipv4_l3fwd_lookup_struct[socketid]);
+ } else {
+ /* populate the ipv6 hash */
+ populate_ipv6_few_flow_into_table(ipv6_l3fwd_lookup_struct[socketid]);
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ #endif
+
+LPM Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The LPM object is created and loaded with the pre-configured entries read from a global array.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ #if (APP_LOOKUP_METHOD == APP_LOOKUP_LPM)
+
+ static void
+ setup_lpm(int socketid)
+ {
+ unsigned i;
+ int ret;
+ char s[64];
+
+ /* create the LPM table */
+
+ snprintf(s, sizeof(s), "IPV4_L3FWD_LPM_%d", socketid);
+
+ ipv4_l3fwd_lookup_struct[socketid] = rte_lpm_create(s, socketid, IPV4_L3FWD_LPM_MAX_RULES, 0);
+
+ if (ipv4_l3fwd_lookup_struct[socketid] == NULL)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Unable to create the l3fwd LPM table"
+ " on socket %d\n", socketid);
+
+ /* populate the LPM table */
+
+ for (i = 0; i < IPV4_L3FWD_NUM_ROUTES; i++) {
+ /* skip unused ports */
+
+ if ((1 << ipv4_l3fwd_route_array[i].if_out & enabled_port_mask) == 0)
+ continue;
+
+ ret = rte_lpm_add(ipv4_l3fwd_lookup_struct[socketid], ipv4_l3fwd_route_array[i].ip,
+ ipv4_l3fwd_route_array[i].depth, ipv4_l3fwd_route_array[i].if_out);
+
+ if (ret < 0) {
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Unable to add entry %u to the "
+ "l3fwd LPM table on socket %d\n", i, socketid);
+ }
+
+ printf("LPM: Adding route 0x%08x / %d (%d)\n",
+ (unsigned)ipv4_l3fwd_route_array[i].ip, ipv4_l3fwd_route_array[i].depth, ipv4_l3fwd_route_array[i].if_out);
+ }
+ }
+ #endif
+
+Packet Forwarding for Hash-based Lookups
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For each input packet, the packet forwarding operation is done by the l3fwd_simple_forward()
+or simple_ipv4_fwd_4pkts() function for IPv4 packets or the simple_ipv6_fwd_4pkts() function for IPv6 packets.
+The l3fwd_simple_forward() function provides the basic functionality for both IPv4 and IPv6 packet forwarding
+for any number of burst packets received,
+and the packet forwarding decision (that is, the identification of the output interface for the packet)
+for hash-based lookups is done by the get_ipv4_dst_port() or get_ipv6_dst_port() function.
+The get_ipv4_dst_port() function is shown below:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static inline uint8_t
+ get_ipv4_dst_port(void *ipv4_hdr, uint8_t portid, lookup_struct_t *ipv4_l3fwd_lookup_struct)
+ {
+ int ret = 0;
+ union ipv4_5tuple_host key;
+
+ ipv4_hdr = (uint8_t \*)ipv4_hdr + offsetof(struct ipv4_hdr, time_to_live);
+
+ m128i data = _mm_loadu_si128(( m128i*)(ipv4_hdr));
+
+ /* Get 5 tuple: dst port, src port, dst IP address, src IP address and protocol */
+
+ key.xmm = _mm_and_si128(data, mask0);
+
+ /* Find destination port */
+
+ ret = rte_hash_lookup(ipv4_l3fwd_lookup_struct, (const void *)&key);
+
+ return (uint8_t)((ret < 0)? portid : ipv4_l3fwd_out_if[ret]);
+ }
+
+The get_ipv6_dst_port() function is similar to the get_ipv4_dst_port() function.
+
+The simple_ipv4_fwd_4pkts() and simple_ipv6_fwd_4pkts() function are optimized for continuous 4 valid ipv4 and ipv6 packets,
+they leverage the multiple buffer optimization to boost the performance of forwarding packets with the exact match on hash table.
+The key code snippet of simple_ipv4_fwd_4pkts() is shown below:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static inline void
+ simple_ipv4_fwd_4pkts(struct rte_mbuf* m[4], uint8_t portid, struct lcore_conf *qconf)
+ {
+ // ...
+
+ data[0] = _mm_loadu_si128(( m128i*)(rte_pktmbuf_mtod(m[0], unsigned char *) + sizeof(struct ether_hdr) + offsetof(struct ipv4_hdr, time_to_live)));
+ data[1] = _mm_loadu_si128(( m128i*)(rte_pktmbuf_mtod(m[1], unsigned char *) + sizeof(struct ether_hdr) + offsetof(struct ipv4_hdr, time_to_live)));
+ data[2] = _mm_loadu_si128(( m128i*)(rte_pktmbuf_mtod(m[2], unsigned char *) + sizeof(struct ether_hdr) + offsetof(struct ipv4_hdr, time_to_live)));
+ data[3] = _mm_loadu_si128(( m128i*)(rte_pktmbuf_mtod(m[3], unsigned char *) + sizeof(struct ether_hdr) + offsetof(struct ipv4_hdr, time_to_live)));
+
+ key[0].xmm = _mm_and_si128(data[0], mask0);
+ key[1].xmm = _mm_and_si128(data[1], mask0);
+ key[2].xmm = _mm_and_si128(data[2], mask0);
+ key[3].xmm = _mm_and_si128(data[3], mask0);
+
+ const void *key_array[4] = {&key[0], &key[1], &key[2],&key[3]};
+
+ rte_hash_lookup_multi(qconf->ipv4_lookup_struct, &key_array[0], 4, ret);
+
+ dst_port[0] = (ret[0] < 0)? portid:ipv4_l3fwd_out_if[ret[0]];
+ dst_port[1] = (ret[1] < 0)? portid:ipv4_l3fwd_out_if[ret[1]];
+ dst_port[2] = (ret[2] < 0)? portid:ipv4_l3fwd_out_if[ret[2]];
+ dst_port[3] = (ret[3] < 0)? portid:ipv4_l3fwd_out_if[ret[3]];
+
+ // ...
+ }
+
+The simple_ipv6_fwd_4pkts() function is similar to the simple_ipv4_fwd_4pkts() function.
+
+Known issue: IP packets with extensions or IP packets which are not TCP/UDP cannot work well at this mode.

+
+L3 Forwarding with Access Control Sample Application
+====================================================
+
+The L3 Forwarding with Access Control application is a simple example of packet processing using the DPDK.
+The application performs a security check on received packets.
+Packets that are in the Access Control List (ACL), which is loaded during initialization, are dropped.
+Others are forwarded to the correct port.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The application demonstrates the use of the ACL library in the DPDK to implement access control
+and packet L3 forwarding.
+The application loads two types of rules at initialization:
+
+* Route information rules, which are used for L3 forwarding
+
+* Access Control List (ACL) rules that blacklist (or block) packets with a specific characteristic
+
+When packets are received from a port,
+the application extracts the necessary information from the TCP/IP header of the received packet and
+performs a lookup in the rule database to figure out whether the packets should be dropped (in the ACL range)
+or forwarded to desired ports.
+The initialization and run-time paths are similar to those of the :doc:`l3_forward`.
+However, there are significant differences in the two applications.
+For example, the original L3 forwarding application uses either LPM or
+an exact match algorithm to perform forwarding port lookup,
+while this application uses the ACL library to perform both ACL and route entry lookup.
+The following sections provide more detail.
+
+Classification for both IPv4 and IPv6 packets is supported in this application.
+The application also assumes that all the packets it processes are TCP/UDP packets and
+always extracts source/destination port information from the packets.
+
+Tuple Packet Syntax
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The application implements packet classification for the IPv4/IPv6 5-tuple syntax specifically.
+The 5-tuple syntax consist of a source IP address, a destination IP address,
+a source port, a destination port and a protocol identifier.
+The fields in the 5-tuple syntax have the following formats:
+
+* **Source IP address and destination IP address**
+ : Each is either a 32-bit field (for IPv4), or a set of 4 32-bit fields (for IPv6) represented by a value and a mask length.
+ For example, an IPv4 range of 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.255 could be represented by a value = [192, 168, 1, 0] and a mask length = 24.
+
+* **Source port and destination port**
+ : Each is a 16-bit field, represented by a lower start and a higher end.
+ For example, a range of ports 0 to 8192 could be represented by lower = 0 and higher = 8192.
+
+* **Protocol identifier**
+ : An 8-bit field, represented by a value and a mask, that covers a range of values.
+ To verify that a value is in the range, use the following expression: "(VAL & mask) == value"
+
+The trick in how to represent a range with a mask and value is as follows.
+A range can be enumerated in binary numbers with some bits that are never changed and some bits that are dynamically changed.
+Set those bits that dynamically changed in mask and value with 0.
+Set those bits that never changed in the mask with 1, in value with number expected.
+For example, a range of 6 to 7 is enumerated as 0b110 and 0b111.
+Bit 1-7 are bits never changed and bit 0 is the bit dynamically changed.
+Therefore, set bit 0 in mask and value with 0, set bits 1-7 in mask with 1, and bits 1-7 in value with number 0b11.
+So, mask is 0xfe, value is 0x6.
+
+.. note::
+
+ The library assumes that each field in the rule is in LSB or Little Endian order when creating the database.
+ It internally converts them to MSB or Big Endian order.
+ When performing a lookup, the library assumes the input is in MSB or Big Endian order.
+
+Access Rule Syntax
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In this sample application, each rule is a combination of the following:
+
+* 5-tuple field: This field has a format described in Section.
+
+* priority field: A weight to measure the priority of the rules.
+ The rule with the higher priority will ALWAYS be returned if the specific input has multiple matches in the rule database.
+ Rules with lower priority will NEVER be returned in any cases.
+
+* userdata field: A user-defined field that could be any value.
+ It can be the forwarding port number if the rule is a route table entry or it can be a pointer to a mapping address
+ if the rule is used for address mapping in the NAT application.
+ The key point is that it is a useful reserved field for user convenience.
+
+ACL and Route Rules
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The application needs to acquire ACL and route rules before it runs.
+Route rules are mandatory, while ACL rules are optional.
+To simplify the complexity of the priority field for each rule, all ACL and route entries are assumed to be in the same file.
+To read data from the specified file successfully, the application assumes the following:
+
+* Each rule occupies a single line.
+
+* Only the following four rule line types are valid in this application:
+
+* ACL rule line, which starts with a leading character '@'
+
+* Route rule line, which starts with a leading character 'R'
+
+* Comment line, which starts with a leading character '#'
+
+* Empty line, which consists of a space, form-feed ('\f'), newline ('\n'),
+ carriage return ('\r'), horizontal tab ('\t'), or vertical tab ('\v').
+
+Other lines types are considered invalid.
+
+* Rules are organized in descending order of priority,
+ which means rules at the head of the file always have a higher priority than those further down in the file.
+
+* A typical IPv4 ACL rule line should have a format as shown below:
+
+
+.. _figure_ipv4_acl_rule:
+
+.. figure:: img/ipv4_acl_rule.*
+
+ A typical IPv4 ACL rule
+
+
+IPv4 addresses are specified in CIDR format as specified in RFC 4632.
+They consist of the dot notation for the address and a prefix length separated by '/'.
+For example, 192.168.0.34/32, where the address is 192.168.0.34 and the prefix length is 32.
+
+Ports are specified as a range of 16-bit numbers in the format MIN:MAX,
+where MIN and MAX are the inclusive minimum and maximum values of the range.
+The range 0:65535 represents all possible ports in a range.
+When MIN and MAX are the same value, a single port is represented, for example, 20:20.
+
+The protocol identifier is an 8-bit value and a mask separated by '/'.
+For example: 6/0xfe matches protocol values 6 and 7.
+
+* Route rules start with a leading character 'R' and have the same format as ACL rules except an extra field at the tail
+ that indicates the forwarding port number.
+
+Rules File Example
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. _figure_example_rules:
+
+.. figure:: img/example_rules.*
+
+ Rules example
+
+
+Each rule is explained as follows:
+
+* Rule 1 (the first line) tells the application to drop those packets with source IP address = [1.2.3.*],
+ destination IP address = [192.168.0.36], protocol = [6]/[7]
+
+* Rule 2 (the second line) is similar to Rule 1, except the source IP address is ignored.
+ It tells the application to forward packets with destination IP address = [192.168.0.36],
+ protocol = [6]/[7], destined to port 1.
+
+* Rule 3 (the third line) tells the application to forward all packets to port 0.
+ This is something like a default route entry.
+
+As described earlier, the application assume rules are listed in descending order of priority,
+therefore Rule 1 has the highest priority, then Rule 2, and finally,
+Rule 3 has the lowest priority.
+
+Consider the arrival of the following three packets:
+
+* Packet 1 has source IP address = [1.2.3.4], destination IP address = [192.168.0.36], and protocol = [6]
+
+* Packet 2 has source IP address = [1.2.4.4], destination IP address = [192.168.0.36], and protocol = [6]
+
+* Packet 3 has source IP address = [1.2.3.4], destination IP address = [192.168.0.36], and protocol = [8]
+
+Observe that:
+
+* Packet 1 matches all of the rules
+
+* Packet 2 matches Rule 2 and Rule 3
+
+* Packet 3 only matches Rule 3
+
+For priority reasons, Packet 1 matches Rule 1 and is dropped.
+Packet 2 matches Rule 2 and is forwarded to port 1.
+Packet 3 matches Rule 3 and is forwarded to port 0.
+
+For more details on the rule file format,
+please refer to rule_ipv4.db and rule_ipv6.db files (inside <RTE_SDK>/examples/l3fwd-acl/).
+
+Application Phases
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Once the application starts, it transitions through three phases:
+
+* **Initialization Phase**
+ - Perform the following tasks:
+
+* Parse command parameters. Check the validity of rule file(s) name(s), number of logical cores, receive and transmit queues.
+ Bind ports, queues and logical cores. Check ACL search options, and so on.
+
+* Call Environmental Abstraction Layer (EAL) and Poll Mode Driver (PMD) functions to initialize the environment and detect possible NICs.
+ The EAL creates several threads and sets affinity to a specific hardware thread CPU based on the configuration specified
+ by the command line arguments.
+
+* Read the rule files and format the rules into the representation that the ACL library can recognize.
+ Call the ACL library function to add the rules into the database and compile them as a trie of pattern sets.
+ Note that application maintains a separate AC contexts for IPv4 and IPv6 rules.
+
+* **Runtime Phase**
+ - Process the incoming packets from a port. Packets are processed in three steps:
+
+ * Retrieval: Gets a packet from the receive queue. Each logical core may process several queues for different ports.
+ This depends on the configuration specified by command line arguments.
+
+ * Lookup: Checks that the packet type is supported (IPv4/IPv6) and performs a 5-tuple lookup over corresponding AC context.
+ If an ACL rule is matched, the packets will be dropped and return back to step 1.
+ If a route rule is matched, it indicates the packet is not in the ACL list and should be forwarded.
+ If there is no matches for the packet, then the packet is dropped.
+
+ * Forwarding: Forwards the packet to the corresponding port.
+
+* **Final Phase** - Perform the following tasks:
+
+ Calls the EAL, PMD driver and ACL library to free resource, then quits.
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+To compile the application:
+
+#. Go to the sample application directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/l3fwd-acl
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+ See the *DPDK IPL Getting Started Guide* for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+The application has a number of command line options:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/l3fwd-acl [EAL options] -- -p PORTMASK [-P] --config(port,queue,lcore)[,(port,queue,lcore)] --rule_ipv4 FILENAME rule_ipv6 FILENAME [--scalar] [--enable-jumbo [--max-pkt-len PKTLEN]] [--no-numa]
+
+
+where,
+
+* -p PORTMASK: Hexadecimal bitmask of ports to configure
+
+* -P: Sets all ports to promiscuous mode so that packets are accepted regardless of the packet's Ethernet MAC destination address.
+ Without this option, only packets with the Ethernet MAC destination address set to the Ethernet address of the port are accepted.
+
+* --config (port,queue,lcore)[,(port,queue,lcore)]: determines which queues from which ports are mapped to which cores
+
+* --rule_ipv4 FILENAME: Specifies the IPv4 ACL and route rules file
+
+* --rule_ipv6 FILENAME: Specifies the IPv6 ACL and route rules file
+
+* --scalar: Use a scalar function to perform rule lookup
+
+* --enable-jumbo: optional, enables jumbo frames
+
+* --max-pkt-len: optional, maximum packet length in decimal (64-9600)
+
+* --no-numa: optional, disables numa awareness
+
+As an example, consider a dual processor socket platform where cores 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 appear on socket 0,
+while cores 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 appear on socket 1.
+Let's say that the user wants to use memory from both NUMA nodes,
+the platform has only two ports and the user wants to use two cores from each processor socket to do the packet processing.
+
+To enable L3 forwarding between two ports, using two cores from each processor,
+while also taking advantage of local memory access by optimizing around NUMA,
+the user must enable two queues from each port,
+pin to the appropriate cores and allocate memory from the appropriate NUMA node.
+This is achieved using the following command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/l3fwd-acl -c f -n 4 -- -p 0x3 --config="(0,0,0),(0,1,2),(1,0,1),(1,1,3)" --rule_ipv4="./rule_ipv4.db" -- rule_ipv6="./rule_ipv6.db" --scalar
+
+In this command:
+
+* The -c option enables cores 0, 1, 2, 3
+
+* The -p option enables ports 0 and 1
+
+* The --config option enables two queues on each port and maps each (port,queue) pair to a specific core.
+ Logic to enable multiple RX queues using RSS and to allocate memory from the correct NUMA nodes is included in the application
+ and is done transparently.
+ The following table shows the mapping in this example:
+
+ +----------+------------+-----------+------------------------------------------------+
+ | **Port** | **Queue** | **lcore** | **Description** |
+ | | | | |
+ +==========+============+===========+================================================+
+ | 0 | 0 | 0 | Map queue 0 from port 0 to lcore 0. |
+ | | | | |
+ +----------+------------+-----------+------------------------------------------------+
+ | 0 | 1 | 2 | Map queue 1 from port 0 to lcore 2. |
+ | | | | |
+ +----------+------------+-----------+------------------------------------------------+
+ | 1 | 0 | 1 | Map queue 0 from port 1 to lcore 1. |
+ | | | | |
+ +----------+------------+-----------+------------------------------------------------+
+ | 1 | 1 | 3 | Map queue 1 from port 1 to lcore 3. |
+ | | | | |
+ +----------+------------+-----------+------------------------------------------------+
+
+* The --rule_ipv4 option specifies the reading of IPv4 rules sets from the ./ rule_ipv4.db file.
+
+* The --rule_ipv6 option specifies the reading of IPv6 rules sets from the ./ rule_ipv6.db file.
+
+* The --scalar option specifies the performing of rule lookup with a scalar function.
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The following sections provide some explanation of the sample application code.
+The aspects of port, device and CPU configuration are similar to those of the :doc:`l3_forward`.
+The following sections describe aspects that are specific to L3 forwarding with access control.
+
+Parse Rules from File
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+As described earlier, both ACL and route rules are assumed to be saved in the same file.
+The application parses the rules from the file and adds them to the database by calling the ACL library function.
+It ignores empty and comment lines, and parses and validates the rules it reads.
+If errors are detected, the application exits with messages to identify the errors encountered.
+
+The application needs to consider the userdata and priority fields.
+The ACL rules save the index to the specific rules in the userdata field,
+while route rules save the forwarding port number.
+In order to differentiate the two types of rules, ACL rules add a signature in the userdata field.
+As for the priority field, the application assumes rules are organized in descending order of priority.
+Therefore, the code only decreases the priority number with each rule it parses.
+
+Setting Up the ACL Context
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For each supported AC rule format (IPv4 5-tuple, IPv6 6-tuple) application creates a separate context handler
+from the ACL library for each CPU socket on the board and adds parsed rules into that context.
+
+Note, that for each supported rule type,
+application needs to calculate the expected offset of the fields from the start of the packet.
+That's why only packets with fixed IPv4/ IPv6 header are supported.
+That allows to perform ACL classify straight over incoming packet buffer -
+no extra protocol field retrieval need to be performed.
+
+Subsequently, the application checks whether NUMA is enabled.
+If it is, the application records the socket IDs of the CPU cores involved in the task.
+
+Finally, the application creates contexts handler from the ACL library,
+adds rules parsed from the file into the database and build an ACL trie.
+It is important to note that the application creates an independent copy of each database for each socket CPU
+involved in the task to reduce the time for remote memory access.

+
+L3 Forwarding with Power Management Sample Application
+======================================================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+The L3 Forwarding with Power Management application is an example of power-aware packet processing using the DPDK.
+The application is based on existing L3 Forwarding sample application,
+with the power management algorithms to control the P-states and
+C-states of the Intel processor via a power management library.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The application demonstrates the use of the Power libraries in the DPDK to implement packet forwarding.
+The initialization and run-time paths are very similar to those of the :doc:`l3_forward`.
+The main difference from the L3 Forwarding sample application is that this application introduces power-aware optimization algorithms
+by leveraging the Power library to control P-state and C-state of processor based on packet load.
+
+The DPDK includes poll-mode drivers to configure Intel NIC devices and their receive (Rx) and transmit (Tx) queues.
+The design principle of this PMD is to access the Rx and Tx descriptors directly without any interrupts to quickly receive,
+process and deliver packets in the user space.
+
+In general, the DPDK executes an endless packet processing loop on dedicated IA cores that include the following steps:
+
+* Retrieve input packets through the PMD to poll Rx queue
+
+* Process each received packet or provide received packets to other processing cores through software queues
+
+* Send pending output packets to Tx queue through the PMD
+
+In this way, the PMD achieves better performance than a traditional interrupt-mode driver,
+at the cost of keeping cores active and running at the highest frequency,
+hence consuming the maximum power all the time.
+However, during the period of processing light network traffic,
+which happens regularly in communication infrastructure systems due to well-known "tidal effect",
+the PMD is still busy waiting for network packets, which wastes a lot of power.
+
+Processor performance states (P-states) are the capability of an Intel processor
+to switch between different supported operating frequencies and voltages.
+If configured correctly, according to system workload, this feature provides power savings.
+CPUFreq is the infrastructure provided by the Linux* kernel to control the processor performance state capability.
+CPUFreq supports a user space governor that enables setting frequency via manipulating the virtual file device from a user space application.
+The Power library in the DPDK provides a set of APIs for manipulating a virtual file device to allow user space application
+to set the CPUFreq governor and set the frequency of specific cores.
+
+This application includes a P-state power management algorithm to generate a frequency hint to be sent to CPUFreq.
+The algorithm uses the number of received and available Rx packets on recent polls to make a heuristic decision to scale frequency up/down.
+Specifically, some thresholds are checked to see whether a specific core running an DPDK polling thread needs to increase frequency
+a step up based on the near to full trend of polled Rx queues.
+Also, it decreases frequency a step if packet processed per loop is far less than the expected threshold
+or the thread's sleeping time exceeds a threshold.
+
+C-States are also known as sleep states.
+They allow software to put an Intel core into a low power idle state from which it is possible to exit via an event, such as an interrupt.
+However, there is a tradeoff between the power consumed in the idle state and the time required to wake up from the idle state (exit latency).
+Therefore, as you go into deeper C-states, the power consumed is lower but the exit latency is increased. Each C-state has a target residency.
+It is essential that when entering into a C-state, the core remains in this C-state for at least as long as the target residency in order
+to fully realize the benefits of entering the C-state.
+CPUIdle is the infrastructure provide by the Linux kernel to control the processor C-state capability.
+Unlike CPUFreq, CPUIdle does not provide a mechanism that allows the application to change C-state.
+It actually has its own heuristic algorithms in kernel space to select target C-state to enter by executing privileged instructions like HLT and MWAIT,
+based on the speculative sleep duration of the core.
+In this application, we introduce a heuristic algorithm that allows packet processing cores to sleep for a short period
+if there is no Rx packet received on recent polls.
+In this way, CPUIdle automatically forces the corresponding cores to enter deeper C-states
+instead of always running to the C0 state waiting for packets.
+
+.. note::
+
+ To fully demonstrate the power saving capability of using C-states,
+ it is recommended to enable deeper C3 and C6 states in the BIOS during system boot up.
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+To compile the application:
+
+#. Go to the sample application directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/l3fwd-power
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+ See the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+The application has a number of command line options:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/l3fwd_power [EAL options] -- -p PORTMASK [-P] --config(port,queue,lcore)[,(port,queue,lcore)] [--enable-jumbo [--max-pkt-len PKTLEN]] [--no-numa]
+
+where,
+
+* -p PORTMASK: Hexadecimal bitmask of ports to configure
+
+* -P: Sets all ports to promiscuous mode so that packets are accepted regardless of the packet's Ethernet MAC destination address.
+ Without this option, only packets with the Ethernet MAC destination address set to the Ethernet address of the port are accepted.
+
+* --config (port,queue,lcore)[,(port,queue,lcore)]: determines which queues from which ports are mapped to which cores.
+
+* --enable-jumbo: optional, enables jumbo frames
+
+* --max-pkt-len: optional, maximum packet length in decimal (64-9600)
+
+* --no-numa: optional, disables numa awareness
+
+See :doc:`l3_forward` for details.
+The L3fwd-power example reuses the L3fwd command line options.
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The following sections provide some explanation of the sample application code.
+As mentioned in the overview section,
+the initialization and run-time paths are identical to those of the L3 forwarding application.
+The following sections describe aspects that are specific to the L3 Forwarding with Power Management sample application.
+
+Power Library Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The Power library is initialized in the main routine.
+It changes the P-state governor to userspace for specific cores that are under control.
+The Timer library is also initialized and several timers are created later on,
+responsible for checking if it needs to scale down frequency at run time by checking CPU utilization statistics.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Only the power management related initialization is shown.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ int main(int argc, char **argv)
+ {
+ struct lcore_conf *qconf;
+ int ret;
+ unsigned nb_ports;
+ uint16_t queueid;
+ unsigned lcore_id;
+ uint64_t hz;
+ uint32_t n_tx_queue, nb_lcores;
+ uint8_t portid, nb_rx_queue, queue, socketid;
+
+ // ...
+
+ /* init RTE timer library to be used to initialize per-core timers */
+
+ rte_timer_subsystem_init();
+
+ // ...
+
+
+ /* per-core initialization */
+
+ for (lcore_id = 0; lcore_id < RTE_MAX_LCORE; lcore_id++) {
+ if (rte_lcore_is_enabled(lcore_id) == 0)
+ continue;
+
+ /* init power management library for a specified core */

+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Power management library "
+ "initialization failed on core%d\n", lcore_id);
+

+
+ // ...
+ }
+
+ // ...
+ }
+
+Monitoring Loads of Rx Queues
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In general, the polling nature of the DPDK prevents the OS power management subsystem from knowing
+if the network load is actually heavy or light.
+In this sample, sampling network load work is done by monitoring received and
+available descriptors on NIC Rx queues in recent polls.
+Based on the number of returned and available Rx descriptors,
+this example implements algorithms to generate frequency scaling hints and speculative sleep duration,
+and use them to control P-state and C-state of processors via the power management library.
+Frequency (P-state) control and sleep state (C-state) control work individually for each logical core,
+and the combination of them contributes to a power efficient packet processing solution when serving light network loads.
+
+The rte_eth_rx_burst() function and the newly-added rte_eth_rx_queue_count() function are used in the endless packet processing loop
+to return the number of received and available Rx descriptors.
+And those numbers of specific queue are passed to P-state and C-state heuristic algorithms
+to generate hints based on recent network load trends.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Only power control related code is shown.

+ else
+ /* long sleep force ruining thread to suspend */
+ usleep(lcore_idle_hint);
+
+ stats[lcore_id].sleep_time += lcore_idle_hint;
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+P-State Heuristic Algorithm
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The power_freq_scaleup_heuristic() function is responsible for generating a frequency hint for the specified logical core
+according to available descriptor number returned from rte_eth_rx_queue_count().
+On every poll for new packets, the length of available descriptor on an Rx queue is evaluated,
+and the algorithm used for frequency hinting is as follows:
+
+* If the size of available descriptors exceeds 96, the maximum frequency is hinted.
+
+* If the size of available descriptors exceeds 64, a trend counter is incremented by 100.
+
+* If the length of the ring exceeds 32, the trend counter is incremented by 1.
+
+* When the trend counter reached 10000 the frequency hint is changed to the next higher frequency.
+
+.. note::
+
+ The assumption is that the Rx queue size is 128 and the thresholds specified above
+ must be adjusted accordingly based on actual hardware Rx queue size,
+ which are configured via the rte_eth_rx_queue_setup() function.
+
+In general, a thread needs to poll packets from multiple Rx queues.
+Most likely, different queue have different load, so they would return different frequency hints.
+The algorithm evaluates all the hints and then scales up frequency in an aggressive manner
+by scaling up to highest frequency as long as one Rx queue requires.
+In this way, we can minimize any negative performance impact.
+
+On the other hand, frequency scaling down is controlled in the timer callback function.
+Specifically, if the sleep times of a logical core indicate that it is sleeping more than 25% of the sampling period,
+or if the average packet per iteration is less than expectation, the frequency is decreased by one step.
+
+C-State Heuristic Algorithm
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Whenever recent rte_eth_rx_burst() polls return 5 consecutive zero packets,
+an idle counter begins incrementing for each successive zero poll.
+At the same time, the function power_idle_heuristic() is called to generate speculative sleep duration
+in order to force logical to enter deeper sleeping C-state.
+There is no way to control C- state directly, and the CPUIdle subsystem in OS is intelligent enough
+to select C-state to enter based on actual sleep period time of giving logical core.
+The algorithm has the following sleeping behavior depending on the idle counter:
+
+* If idle count less than 100, the counter value is used as a microsecond sleep value through rte_delay_us()
+ which execute pause instructions to avoid costly context switch but saving power at the same time.
+
+* If idle count is between 100 and 999, a fixed sleep interval of 100 μs is used.
+ A 100 μs sleep interval allows the core to enter the C1 state while keeping a fast response time in case new traffic arrives.
+
+* If idle count is greater than 1000, a fixed sleep value of 1 ms is used until the next timer expiration is used.
+ This allows the core to enter the C3/C6 states.
+
+.. note::
+
+ The thresholds specified above need to be adjusted for different Intel processors and traffic profiles.
+
+If a thread polls multiple Rx queues and different queue returns different sleep duration values,
+the algorithm controls the sleep time in a conservative manner by sleeping for the least possible time
+in order to avoid a potential performance impact.

+L3 Forwarding in a Virtualization Environment Sample Application
+================================================================
+
+The L3 Forwarding in a Virtualization Environment sample application is a simple example of packet processing using the DPDK.
+The application performs L3 forwarding that takes advantage of Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) features
+in a virtualized environment.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The application demonstrates the use of the hash and LPM libraries in the DPDK to implement packet forwarding.
+The initialization and run-time paths are very similar to those of the :doc:`l3_forward`.
+The forwarding decision is taken based on information read from the input packet.
+
+The lookup method is either hash-based or LPM-based and is selected at compile time.
+When the selected lookup method is hash-based, a hash object is used to emulate the flow classification stage.
+The hash object is used in correlation with the flow table to map each input packet to its flow at runtime.
+
+The hash lookup key is represented by the DiffServ 5-tuple composed of the following fields read from the input packet:
+Source IP Address, Destination IP Address, Protocol, Source Port and Destination Port.
+The ID of the output interface for the input packet is read from the identified flow table entry.
+The set of flows used by the application is statically configured and loaded into the hash at initialization time.
+When the selected lookup method is LPM based, an LPM object is used to emulate the forwarding stage for IPv4 packets.
+The LPM object is used as the routing table to identify the next hop for each input packet at runtime.
+
+The LPM lookup key is represented by the Destination IP Address field read from the input packet.
+The ID of the output interface for the input packet is the next hop returned by the LPM lookup.
+The set of LPM rules used by the application is statically configured and loaded into the LPM object at the initialization time.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Please refer to :ref:`l2_fwd_vf_setup` for virtualized test case setup.
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+To compile the application:
+
+#. Go to the sample application directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/l3fwd-vf
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+ See the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+.. note::
+
+ The compiled application is written to the build subdirectory.
+ To have the application written to a different location,
+ the O=/path/to/build/directory option may be specified in the make command.
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+The application has a number of command line options:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/l3fwd-vf [EAL options] -- -p PORTMASK --config(port,queue,lcore)[,(port,queue,lcore)] [--no-numa]
+
+where,
+
+* --p PORTMASK: Hexadecimal bitmask of ports to configure
+
+* --config (port,queue,lcore)[,(port,queue,lcore]: determines which queues from which ports are mapped to which cores
+
+* --no-numa: optional, disables numa awareness
+
+For example, consider a dual processor socket platform where cores 0,2,4,6, 8, and 10 appear on socket 0,
+while cores 1,3,5,7,9, and 11 appear on socket 1.
+Let's say that the programmer wants to use memory from both NUMA nodes,
+the platform has only two ports and the programmer wants to use one core from each processor socket to do the packet processing
+since only one Rx/Tx queue pair can be used in virtualization mode.
+
+To enable L3 forwarding between two ports, using one core from each processor,
+while also taking advantage of local memory accesses by optimizing around NUMA,
+the programmer can pin to the appropriate cores and allocate memory from the appropriate NUMA node.
+This is achieved using the following command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/l3fwd-vf -c 0x03 -n 3 -- -p 0x3 --config="(0,0,0),(1,0,1)"
+
+In this command:
+
+* The -c option enables cores 0 and 1
+
+* The -p option enables ports 0 and 1
+
+* The --config option enables one queue on each port and maps each (port,queue) pair to a specific core.
+ Logic to enable multiple RX queues using RSS and to allocate memory from the correct NUMA nodes
+ is included in the application and is done transparently.
+ The following table shows the mapping in this example:
+
+ +----------+-----------+-----------+------------------------------------+
+ | **Port** | **Queue** | **lcore** | **Description** |
+ | | | | |
+ +==========+===========+===========+====================================+
+ | 0 | 0 | 0 | Map queue 0 from port 0 to lcore 0 |
+ | | | | |
+ +----------+-----------+-----------+------------------------------------+
+ | 1 | 1 | 1 | Map queue 0 from port 1 to lcore 1 |
+ | | | | |
+ +----------+-----------+-----------+------------------------------------+
+
+Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running applications
+and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The operation of this application is similar to that of the basic L3 Forwarding Sample Application.
+See :ref:`l3_fwd_explanation` for more information.

+
+Link Status Interrupt Sample Application
+========================================
+
+The Link Status Interrupt sample application is a simple example of packet processing using
+the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) that
+demonstrates how network link status changes for a network port can be captured and
+used by a DPDK application.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The Link Status Interrupt sample application registers a user space callback for the link status interrupt of each port
+and performs L2 forwarding for each packet that is received on an RX_PORT.
+The following operations are performed:
+
+* RX_PORT and TX_PORT are paired with available ports one-by-one according to the core mask
+
+* The source MAC address is replaced by the TX_PORT MAC address
+
+* The destination MAC address is replaced by 02:00:00:00:00:TX_PORT_ID
+
+This application can be used to demonstrate the usage of link status interrupt and its user space callbacks
+and the behavior of L2 forwarding each time the link status changes.
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+#. Go to the example directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/link_status_interrupt
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+ See the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+.. note::
+
+ The compiled application is written to the build subdirectory.
+ To have the application written to a different location,
+ the O=/path/to/build/directory option may be specified on the make command line.
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+The application requires a number of command line options:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/link_status_interrupt [EAL options] -- -p PORTMASK [-q NQ][-T PERIOD]
+
+where,
+
+* -p PORTMASK: A hexadecimal bitmask of the ports to configure
+
+* -q NQ: A number of queues (=ports) per lcore (default is 1)
+
+* -T PERIOD: statistics will be refreshed each PERIOD seconds (0 to disable, 10 default)
+
+To run the application in a linuxapp environment with 4 lcores, 4 memory channels, 16 ports and 8 RX queues per lcore,
+issue the command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ ./build/link_status_interrupt -c f -n 4-- -q 8 -p ffff
+
+Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running applications
+and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The following sections provide some explanation of the code.
+
+Command Line Arguments
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The Link Status Interrupt sample application takes specific parameters,
+in addition to Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) arguments (see Section `Running the Application`_).
+
+Command line parsing is done in the same way as it is done in the L2 Forwarding Sample Application.
+See :ref:`l2_fwd_app_cmd_arguments` for more information.
+
+Mbuf Pool Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Mbuf pool initialization is done in the same way as it is done in the L2 Forwarding Sample Application.
+See :ref:`l2_fwd_app_mbuf_init` for more information.
+
+Driver Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The main part of the code in the main() function relates to the initialization of the driver.
+To fully understand this code, it is recommended to study the chapters that related to the Poll Mode Driver in the
+*DPDK Programmer's Guide and the DPDK API Reference*.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ if (rte_eal_pci_probe() < 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Cannot probe PCI\n");
+
+ nb_ports = rte_eth_dev_count();
+ if (nb_ports == 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "No Ethernet ports - bye\n");
+
+ if (nb_ports > RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS)
+ nb_ports = RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS;
+
+ /*
+ * Each logical core is assigned a dedicated TX queue on each port.
+ */
+
+ for (portid = 0; portid < nb_ports; portid++) {
+ /* skip ports that are not enabled */
+
+ if ((lsi_enabled_port_mask & (1 << portid)) == 0)
+ continue;
+
+ /* save the destination port id */
+
+ if (nb_ports_in_mask % 2) {
+ lsi_dst_ports[portid] = portid_last;
+ lsi_dst_ports[portid_last] = portid;
+ }
+ else
+ portid_last = portid;
+
+ nb_ports_in_mask++;
+
+ rte_eth_dev_info_get((uint8_t) portid, &dev_info);
+ }
+
+Observe that:
+
+* rte_eal_pci_probe() parses the devices on the PCI bus and initializes recognized devices.
+
+The next step is to configure the RX and TX queues.
+For each port, there is only one RX queue (only one lcore is able to poll a given port).
+The number of TX queues depends on the number of available lcores.
+The rte_eth_dev_configure() function is used to configure the number of queues for a port:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ ret = rte_eth_dev_configure((uint8_t) portid, 1, 1, &port_conf);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Cannot configure device: err=%d, port=%u\n", ret, portid);
+
+The global configuration is stored in a static structure:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static const struct rte_eth_conf port_conf = {
+ .rxmode = {
+ .split_hdr_size = 0,
+ .header_split = 0, /**< Header Split disabled */
+ .hw_ip_checksum = 0, /**< IP checksum offload disabled */
+ .hw_vlan_filter = 0, /**< VLAN filtering disabled */
+ .hw_strip_crc= 0, /**< CRC stripped by hardware */
+ },
+ .txmode = {},
+ .intr_conf = {
+ .lsc = 1, /**< link status interrupt feature enabled */
+ },
+ };
+
+Configuring lsc to 0 (the default) disables the generation of any link status change interrupts in kernel space
+and no user space interrupt event is received.
+The public interface rte_eth_link_get() accesses the NIC registers directly to update the link status.
+Configuring lsc to non-zero enables the generation of link status change interrupts in kernel space
+when a link status change is present and calls the user space callbacks registered by the application.
+The public interface rte_eth_link_get() just reads the link status in a global structure
+that would be updated in the interrupt host thread only.
+
+Interrupt Callback Registration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The application can register one or more callbacks to a specific port and interrupt event.
+An example callback function that has been written as indicated below.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static void
+ lsi_event_callback(uint8_t port_id, enum rte_eth_event_type type, void *param)
+ {
+ struct rte_eth_link link;
+
+ RTE_SET_USED(param);
+
+ printf("\n\nIn registered callback...\n");
+
+ printf("Event type: %s\n", type == RTE_ETH_EVENT_INTR_LSC ? "LSC interrupt" : "unknown event");
+
+ rte_eth_link_get_nowait(port_id, &link);
+
+ if (link.link_status) {
+ printf("Port %d Link Up - speed %u Mbps - %s\n\n", port_id, (unsigned)link.link_speed,
+ (link.link_duplex == ETH_LINK_FULL_DUPLEX) ? ("full-duplex") : ("half-duplex"));
+ } else
+ printf("Port %d Link Down\n\n", port_id);
+ }
+
+This function is called when a link status interrupt is present for the right port.
+The port_id indicates which port the interrupt applies to.
+The type parameter identifies the interrupt event type,
+which currently can be RTE_ETH_EVENT_INTR_LSC only, but other types can be added in the future.
+The param parameter is the address of the parameter for the callback.
+This function should be implemented with care since it will be called in the interrupt host thread,
+which is different from the main thread of its caller.
+
+The application registers the lsi_event_callback and a NULL parameter to the link status interrupt event on each port:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ rte_eth_dev_callback_register((uint8_t)portid, RTE_ETH_EVENT_INTR_LSC, lsi_event_callback, NULL);
+
+This registration can be done only after calling the rte_eth_dev_configure() function and before calling any other function.
+If lsc is initialized with 0, the callback is never called since no interrupt event would ever be present.
+
+RX Queue Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The application uses one lcore to poll one or several ports, depending on the -q option,
+which specifies the number of queues per lcore.
+
+For example, if the user specifies -q 4, the application is able to poll four ports with one lcore.
+If there are 16 ports on the target (and if the portmask argument is -p ffff),
+the application will need four lcores to poll all the ports.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ ret = rte_eth_rx_queue_setup((uint8_t) portid, 0, nb_rxd, SOCKET0, &rx_conf, lsi_pktmbuf_pool);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "rte_eth_rx_queue_setup: err=%d, port=%u\n", ret, portid);
+
+The list of queues that must be polled for a given lcore is stored in a private structure called struct lcore_queue_conf.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct lcore_queue_conf {
+ unsigned n_rx_port;
+ unsigned rx_port_list[MAX_RX_QUEUE_PER_LCORE]; unsigned tx_queue_id;
+ struct mbuf_table tx_mbufs[LSI_MAX_PORTS];
+ } rte_cache_aligned;
+
+ struct lcore_queue_conf lcore_queue_conf[RTE_MAX_LCORE];
+
+The n_rx_port and rx_port_list[] fields are used in the main packet processing loop
+(see `Receive, Process and Transmit Packets`_).
+
+The global configuration for the RX queues is stored in a static structure:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static const struct rte_eth_rxconf rx_conf = {
+ .rx_thresh = {
+ .pthresh = RX_PTHRESH,
+ .hthresh = RX_HTHRESH,
+ .wthresh = RX_WTHRESH,
+ },
+ };
+
+TX Queue Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Each lcore should be able to transmit on any port.
+For every port, a single TX queue is initialized.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* init one TX queue logical core on each port */
+
+ fflush(stdout);
+
+ ret = rte_eth_tx_queue_setup(portid, 0, nb_txd, rte_eth_dev_socket_id(portid), &tx_conf);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "rte_eth_tx_queue_setup: err=%d,port=%u\n", ret, (unsigned) portid);
+
+The global configuration for TX queues is stored in a static structure:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static const struct rte_eth_txconf tx_conf = {
+ .tx_thresh = {
+ .pthresh = TX_PTHRESH,
+ .hthresh = TX_HTHRESH,
+ .wthresh = TX_WTHRESH,
+ },
+ .tx_free_thresh = RTE_TEST_TX_DESC_DEFAULT + 1, /* disable feature */
+ };
+
+Receive, Process and Transmit Packets
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In the lsi_main_loop() function, the main task is to read ingress packets from the RX queues.
+This is done using the following code:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /*
+ * Read packet from RX queues
+ */
+
+ for (i = 0; i < qconf->n_rx_port; i++) {
+ portid = qconf->rx_port_list[i];
+ nb_rx = rte_eth_rx_burst((uint8_t) portid, 0, pkts_burst, MAX_PKT_BURST);
+ port_statistics[portid].rx += nb_rx;
+
+ for (j = 0; j < nb_rx; j++) {
+ m = pkts_burst[j];
+ rte_prefetch0(rte_pktmbuf_mtod(m, void *));
+ lsi_simple_forward(m, portid);
+ }
+ }
+
+Packets are read in a burst of size MAX_PKT_BURST.
+The rte_eth_rx_burst() function writes the mbuf pointers in a local table and returns the number of available mbufs in the table.
+
+Then, each mbuf in the table is processed by the lsi_simple_forward() function.
+The processing is very simple: processes the TX port from the RX port and then replaces the source and destination MAC addresses.
+
+.. note::
+
+ In the following code, the two lines for calculating the output port require some explanation.
+ If portId is even, the first line does nothing (as portid & 1 will be 0), and the second line adds 1.
+ If portId is odd, the first line subtracts one and the second line does nothing.
+ Therefore, 0 goes to 1, and 1 to 0, 2 goes to 3 and 3 to 2, and so on.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static void
+ lsi_simple_forward(struct rte_mbuf *m, unsigned portid)
+ {
+ struct ether_hdr *eth;
+ void *tmp;
+ unsigned dst_port = lsi_dst_ports[portid];
+
+ eth = rte_pktmbuf_mtod(m, struct ether_hdr *);
+
+ /* 02:00:00:00:00:xx */
+
+ tmp = &eth->d_addr.addr_bytes[0];
+
+ *((uint64_t *)tmp) = 0x000000000002 + (dst_port << 40);
+
+ /* src addr */
+ ether_addr_copy(&lsi_ports_eth_addr[dst_port], &eth->s_addr);
+
+ lsi_send_packet(m, dst_port);
+ }
+
+Then, the packet is sent using the lsi_send_packet(m, dst_port) function.
+For this test application, the processing is exactly the same for all packets arriving on the same RX port.
+Therefore, it would have been possible to call the lsi_send_burst() function directly from the main loop
+to send all the received packets on the same TX port using
+the burst-oriented send function, which is more efficient.
+
+However, in real-life applications (such as, L3 routing),
+packet N is not necessarily forwarded on the same port as packet N-1.
+The application is implemented to illustrate that so the same approach can be reused in a more complex application.
+
+The lsi_send_packet() function stores the packet in a per-lcore and per-txport table.
+If the table is full, the whole packets table is transmitted using the lsi_send_burst() function:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* Send the packet on an output interface */
+
+ static int
+ lsi_send_packet(struct rte_mbuf *m, uint8_t port)
+ {
+ unsigned lcore_id, len;
+ struct lcore_queue_conf *qconf;
+
+ lcore_id = rte_lcore_id();
+ qconf = &lcore_queue_conf[lcore_id];
+ len = qconf->tx_mbufs[port].len;
+ qconf->tx_mbufs[port].m_table[len] = m;
+ len++;
+
+ /* enough pkts to be sent */
+
+ if (unlikely(len == MAX_PKT_BURST)) {
+ lsi_send_burst(qconf, MAX_PKT_BURST, port);
+ len = 0;
+ }
+ qconf->tx_mbufs[port].len = len;
+
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+To ensure that no packets remain in the tables, each lcore does a draining of the TX queue in its main loop.
+This technique introduces some latency when there are not many packets to send.
+However, it improves performance:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ cur_tsc = rte_rdtsc();
+
+ /*
+ * TX burst queue drain
+ */
+
+ diff_tsc = cur_tsc - prev_tsc;
+
+ if (unlikely(diff_tsc > drain_tsc)) {
+ /* this could be optimized (use queueid instead of * portid), but it is not called so often */
+
+ for (portid = 0; portid < RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS; portid++) {
+ if (qconf->tx_mbufs[portid].len == 0)
+ continue;
+
+ lsi_send_burst(&lcore_queue_conf[lcore_id],
+ qconf->tx_mbufs[portid].len, (uint8_t) portid);
+ qconf->tx_mbufs[portid].len = 0;
+ }
+
+ /* if timer is enabled */
+
+ if (timer_period > 0) {
+ /* advance the timer */
+
+ timer_tsc += diff_tsc;
+
+ /* if timer has reached its timeout */
+
+ if (unlikely(timer_tsc >= (uint64_t) timer_period)) {
+ /* do this only on master core */
+
+ if (lcore_id == rte_get_master_lcore()) {
+ print_stats();
+
+ /* reset the timer */
+ timer_tsc = 0;
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ prev_tsc = cur_tsc;
+ }

+
+Load Balancer Sample Application
+================================
+
+The Load Balancer sample application demonstrates the concept of isolating the packet I/O task
+from the application-specific workload.
+Depending on the performance target,
+a number of logical cores (lcores) are dedicated to handle the interaction with the NIC ports (I/O lcores),
+while the rest of the lcores are dedicated to performing the application processing (worker lcores).
+The worker lcores are totally oblivious to the intricacies of the packet I/O activity and
+use the NIC-agnostic interface provided by software rings to exchange packets with the I/O cores.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The architecture of the Load Balance application is presented in the following figure.
+
+.. _figure_load_bal_app_arch:
+
+.. figure:: img/load_bal_app_arch.*
+
+ Load Balancer Application Architecture
+
+
+For the sake of simplicity, the diagram illustrates a specific case of two I/O RX and two I/O TX lcores off loading the packet I/O
+overhead incurred by four NIC ports from four worker cores, with each I/O lcore handling RX/TX for two NIC ports.
+
+I/O RX Logical Cores
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Each I/O RX lcore performs packet RX from its assigned NIC RX rings and then distributes the received packets to the worker threads.
+The application allows each I/O RX lcore to communicate with any of the worker threads,
+therefore each (I/O RX lcore, worker lcore) pair is connected through a dedicated single producer - single consumer software ring.
+
+The worker lcore to handle the current packet is determined by reading a predefined 1-byte field from the input packet:
+
+worker_id = packet[load_balancing_field] % n_workers
+
+Since all the packets that are part of the same traffic flow are expected to have the same value for the load balancing field,
+this scheme also ensures that all the packets that are part of the same traffic flow are directed to the same worker lcore (flow affinity)
+in the same order they enter the system (packet ordering).
+
+I/O TX Logical Cores
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Each I/O lcore owns the packet TX for a predefined set of NIC ports. To enable each worker thread to send packets to any NIC TX port,
+the application creates a software ring for each (worker lcore, NIC TX port) pair,
+with each I/O TX core handling those software rings that are associated with NIC ports that it handles.
+
+Worker Logical Cores
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Each worker lcore reads packets from its set of input software rings and
+routes them to the NIC ports for transmission by dispatching them to output software rings.
+The routing logic is LPM based, with all the worker threads sharing the same LPM rules.
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+The sequence of steps used to build the application is:
+
+#. Export the required environment variables:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=<Path to the DPDK installation folder>
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+#. Build the application executable file:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/load_balancer
+ make
+
+ For more details on how to build the DPDK libraries and sample applications,
+ please refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide.*
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+To successfully run the application,
+the command line used to start the application has to be in sync with the traffic flows configured on the traffic generator side.
+
+For examples of application command lines and traffic generator flows, please refer to the DPDK Test Report.
+For more details on how to set up and run the sample applications provided with DPDK package,
+please refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide*.
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+Application Configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The application run-time configuration is done through the application command line parameters.
+Any parameter that is not specified as mandatory is optional,
+with the default value hard-coded in the main.h header file from the application folder.
+
+The list of application command line parameters is listed below:
+
+#. --rx "(PORT, QUEUE, LCORE), ...": The list of NIC RX ports and queues handled by the I/O RX lcores.
+ This parameter also implicitly defines the list of I/O RX lcores. This is a mandatory parameter.
+
+#. --tx "(PORT, LCORE), ... ": The list of NIC TX ports handled by the I/O TX lcores.
+ This parameter also implicitly defines the list of I/O TX lcores.
+ This is a mandatory parameter.
+
+#. --w "LCORE, ...": The list of the worker lcores. This is a mandatory parameter.
+
+#. --lpm "IP / PREFIX => PORT; ...": The list of LPM rules used by the worker lcores for packet forwarding.
+ This is a mandatory parameter.
+
+#. --rsz "A, B, C, D": Ring sizes:
+
+ #. A = The size (in number of buffer descriptors) of each of the NIC RX rings read by the I/O RX lcores.
+
+ #. B = The size (in number of elements) of each of the software rings used by the I/O RX lcores to send packets to worker lcores.
+
+ #. C = The size (in number of elements) of each of the software rings used by the worker lcores to send packets to I/O TX lcores.
+
+ #. D = The size (in number of buffer descriptors) of each of the NIC TX rings written by I/O TX lcores.
+
+#. --bsz "(A, B), (C, D), (E, F)": Burst sizes:
+
+ #. A = The I/O RX lcore read burst size from NIC RX.
+
+ #. B = The I/O RX lcore write burst size to the output software rings.
+
+ #. C = The worker lcore read burst size from the input software rings.
+
+ #. D = The worker lcore write burst size to the output software rings.
+
+ #. E = The I/O TX lcore read burst size from the input software rings.
+
+ #. F = The I/O TX lcore write burst size to the NIC TX.
+
+#. --pos-lb POS: The position of the 1-byte field within the input packet used by the I/O RX lcores
+ to identify the worker lcore for the current packet.
+ This field needs to be within the first 64 bytes of the input packet.
+
+The infrastructure of software rings connecting I/O lcores and worker lcores is built by the application
+as a result of the application configuration provided by the user through the application command line parameters.
+
+A specific lcore performing the I/O RX role for a specific set of NIC ports can also perform the I/O TX role
+for the same or a different set of NIC ports.
+A specific lcore cannot perform both the I/O role (either RX or TX) and the worker role during the same session.
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./load_balancer -c 0xf8 -n 4 -- --rx "(0,0,3),(1,0,3)" --tx "(0,3),(1,3)" --w "4,5,6,7" --lpm "1.0.0.0/24=>0; 1.0.1.0/24=>1;" --pos-lb 29
+
+There is a single I/O lcore (lcore 3) that handles RX and TX for two NIC ports (ports 0 and 1) that
+handles packets to/from four worker lcores (lcores 4, 5, 6 and 7) that
+are assigned worker IDs 0 to 3 (worker ID for lcore 4 is 0, for lcore 5 is 1, for lcore 6 is 2 and for lcore 7 is 3).
+
+Assuming that all the input packets are IPv4 packets with no VLAN label and the source IP address of the current packet is A.B.C.D,
+the worker lcore for the current packet is determined by byte D (which is byte 29).
+There are two LPM rules that are used by each worker lcore to route packets to the output NIC ports.
+
+The following table illustrates the packet flow through the system for several possible traffic flows:
+
++------------+----------------+-----------------+------------------------------+--------------+
+| **Flow #** | **Source** | **Destination** | **Worker ID (Worker lcore)** | **Output** |
+| | **IP Address** | **IP Address** | | **NIC Port** |
+| | | | | |
++============+================+=================+==============================+==============+
+| 1 | 0.0.0.0 | 1.0.0.1 | 0 (4) | 0 |
+| | | | | |
++------------+----------------+-----------------+------------------------------+--------------+
+| 2 | 0.0.0.1 | 1.0.1.2 | 1 (5) | 1 |
+| | | | | |
++------------+----------------+-----------------+------------------------------+--------------+
+| 3 | 0.0.0.14 | 1.0.0.3 | 2 (6) | 0 |
+| | | | | |
++------------+----------------+-----------------+------------------------------+--------------+
+| 4 | 0.0.0.15 | 1.0.1.4 | 3 (7) | 1 |
+| | | | | |
++------------+----------------+-----------------+------------------------------+--------------+
+
+NUMA Support
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The application has built-in performance enhancements for the NUMA case:
+
+#. One buffer pool per each CPU socket.
+
+#. One LPM table per each CPU socket.
+
+#. Memory for the NIC RX or TX rings is allocated on the same socket with the lcore handling the respective ring.
+
+In the case where multiple CPU sockets are used in the system,
+it is recommended to enable at least one lcore to fulfill the I/O role for the NIC ports that
+are directly attached to that CPU socket through the PCI Express* bus.
+It is always recommended to handle the packet I/O with lcores from the same CPU socket as the NICs.
+
+Depending on whether the I/O RX lcore (same CPU socket as NIC RX),
+the worker lcore and the I/O TX lcore (same CPU socket as NIC TX) handling a specific input packet,
+are on the same or different CPU sockets, the following run-time scenarios are possible:
+
+#. AAA: The packet is received, processed and transmitted without going across CPU sockets.
+
+#. AAB: The packet is received and processed on socket A,
+ but as it has to be transmitted on a NIC port connected to socket B,
+ the packet is sent to socket B through software rings.
+
+#. ABB: The packet is received on socket A, but as it has to be processed by a worker lcore on socket B,
+ the packet is sent to socket B through software rings.
+ The packet is transmitted by a NIC port connected to the same CPU socket as the worker lcore that processed it.
+
+#. ABC: The packet is received on socket A, it is processed by an lcore on socket B,
+ then it has to be transmitted out by a NIC connected to socket C.
+ The performance price for crossing the CPU socket boundary is paid twice for this packet.

+
+Multi-process Sample Application
+================================
+
+This chapter describes the example applications for multi-processing that are included in the DPDK.
+
+Example Applications
+--------------------
+
+Building the Sample Applications
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The multi-process example applications are built in the same way as other sample applications,
+and as documented in the *DPDK Getting Started Guide*.
+To build all the example applications:
+
+#. Set RTE_SDK and go to the example directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/multi_process
+
+#. Set the target (a default target will be used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+ See the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the applications:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+.. note::
+
+ If just a specific multi-process application needs to be built,
+ the final make command can be run just in that application's directory,
+ rather than at the top-level multi-process directory.
+
+Basic Multi-process Example
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The examples/simple_mp folder in the DPDK release contains a basic example application to demonstrate how
+two DPDK processes can work together using queues and memory pools to share information.
+
+Running the Application
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To run the application, start one copy of the simple_mp binary in one terminal,
+passing at least two cores in the coremask, as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/simple_mp -c 3 -n 4 --proc-type=primary
+
+For the first DPDK process run, the proc-type flag can be omitted or set to auto,
+since all DPDK processes will default to being a primary instance,
+meaning they have control over the hugepage shared memory regions.
+The process should start successfully and display a command prompt as follows:

+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/simple_mp -c C -n 4 --proc-type=secondary
+
+When running a secondary process such as that shown above, the proc-type parameter can again be specified as auto.
+However, omitting the parameter altogether will cause the process to try and start as a primary rather than secondary process.
+
+Once the process type is specified correctly,
+the process starts up, displaying largely similar status messages to the primary instance as it initializes.
+Once again, you will be presented with a command prompt.
+
+Once both processes are running, messages can be sent between them using the send command.
+At any stage, either process can be terminated using the quit command.

+.. code-block:: console

+
+.. note::
+
+ If the primary instance is terminated, the secondary instance must also be shut-down and restarted after the primary.
+ This is necessary because the primary instance will clear and reset the shared memory regions on startup,
+ invalidating the secondary process's pointers.
+ The secondary process can be stopped and restarted without affecting the primary process.
+
+How the Application Works
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The core of this example application is based on using two queues and a single memory pool in shared memory.
+These three objects are created at startup by the primary process,
+since the secondary process cannot create objects in memory as it cannot reserve memory zones,
+and the secondary process then uses lookup functions to attach to these objects as it starts up.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ if (rte_eal_process_type() == RTE_PROC_PRIMARY){
+ send_ring = rte_ring_create(_PRI_2_SEC, ring_size, SOCKET0, flags);
+ recv_ring = rte_ring_create(_SEC_2_PRI, ring_size, SOCKET0, flags);
+ message_pool = rte_mempool_create(_MSG_POOL, pool_size, string_size, pool_cache, priv_data_sz, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, SOCKET0, flags);
+ } else {
+ recv_ring = rte_ring_lookup(_PRI_2_SEC);
+ send_ring = rte_ring_lookup(_SEC_2_PRI);
+ message_pool = rte_mempool_lookup(_MSG_POOL);
+ }
+
+Note, however, that the named ring structure used as send_ring in the primary process is the recv_ring in the secondary process.
+
+Once the rings and memory pools are all available in both the primary and secondary processes,
+the application simply dedicates two threads to sending and receiving messages respectively.
+The receive thread simply dequeues any messages on the receive ring, prints them,
+and frees the buffer space used by the messages back to the memory pool.
+The send thread makes use of the command-prompt library to interactively request user input for messages to send.
+Once a send command is issued by the user, a buffer is allocated from the memory pool, filled in with the message contents,
+then enqueued on the appropriate rte_ring.
+
+Symmetric Multi-process Example
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The second example of DPDK multi-process support demonstrates how a set of processes can run in parallel,
+with each process performing the same set of packet- processing operations.
+(Since each process is identical in functionality to the others,
+we refer to this as symmetric multi-processing, to differentiate it from asymmetric multi- processing -
+such as a client-server mode of operation seen in the next example,
+where different processes perform different tasks, yet co-operate to form a packet-processing system.)
+The following diagram shows the data-flow through the application, using two processes.
+
+.. _figure_sym_multi_proc_app:
+
+.. figure:: img/sym_multi_proc_app.*
+
+ Example Data Flow in a Symmetric Multi-process Application
+
+
+As the diagram shows, each process reads packets from each of the network ports in use.
+RSS is used to distribute incoming packets on each port to different hardware RX queues.
+Each process reads a different RX queue on each port and so does not contend with any other process for that queue access.
+Similarly, each process writes outgoing packets to a different TX queue on each port.
+
+Running the Application
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+As with the simple_mp example, the first instance of the symmetric_mp process must be run as the primary instance,
+though with a number of other application- specific parameters also provided after the EAL arguments.
+These additional parameters are:
+
+* -p <portmask>, where portmask is a hexadecimal bitmask of what ports on the system are to be used.
+ For example: -p 3 to use ports 0 and 1 only.
+
+* --num-procs <N>, where N is the total number of symmetric_mp instances that will be run side-by-side to perform packet processing.
+ This parameter is used to configure the appropriate number of receive queues on each network port.
+
+* --proc-id <n>, where n is a numeric value in the range 0 <= n < N (number of processes, specified above).
+ This identifies which symmetric_mp instance is being run, so that each process can read a unique receive queue on each network port.
+
+The secondary symmetric_mp instances must also have these parameters specified,
+and the first two must be the same as those passed to the primary instance, or errors result.
+
+For example, to run a set of four symmetric_mp instances, running on lcores 1-4,
+all performing level-2 forwarding of packets between ports 0 and 1,
+the following commands can be used (assuming run as root):
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ # ./build/symmetric_mp -c 2 -n 4 --proc-type=auto -- -p 3 --num-procs=4 --proc-id=0
+ # ./build/symmetric_mp -c 4 -n 4 --proc-type=auto -- -p 3 --num-procs=4 --proc-id=1
+ # ./build/symmetric_mp -c 8 -n 4 --proc-type=auto -- -p 3 --num-procs=4 --proc-id=2
+ # ./build/symmetric_mp -c 10 -n 4 --proc-type=auto -- -p 3 --num-procs=4 --proc-id=3
+
+.. note::
+
+ In the above example, the process type can be explicitly specified as primary or secondary, rather than auto.
+ When using auto, the first process run creates all the memory structures needed for all processes -
+ irrespective of whether it has a proc-id of 0, 1, 2 or 3.
+
+.. note::
+
+ For the symmetric multi-process example, since all processes work in the same manner,
+ once the hugepage shared memory and the network ports are initialized,
+ it is not necessary to restart all processes if the primary instance dies.
+ Instead, that process can be restarted as a secondary,
+ by explicitly setting the proc-type to secondary on the command line.
+ (All subsequent instances launched will also need this explicitly specified,
+ as auto-detection will detect no primary processes running and therefore attempt to re-initialize shared memory.)
+
+How the Application Works
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The initialization calls in both the primary and secondary instances are the same for the most part,
+calling the rte_eal_init(), 1 G and 10 G driver initialization and then rte_eal_pci_probe() functions.
+Thereafter, the initialization done depends on whether the process is configured as a primary or secondary instance.
+
+In the primary instance, a memory pool is created for the packet mbufs and the network ports to be used are initialized -
+the number of RX and TX queues per port being determined by the num-procs parameter passed on the command-line.
+The structures for the initialized network ports are stored in shared memory and
+therefore will be accessible by the secondary process as it initializes.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ if (num_ports & 1)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Application must use an even number of ports\n");
+
+ for(i = 0; i < num_ports; i++){
+ if(proc_type == RTE_PROC_PRIMARY)
+ if (smp_port_init(ports[i], mp, (uint16_t)num_procs) < 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Error initializing ports\n");
+ }
+
+In the secondary instance, rather than initializing the network ports, the port information exported by the primary process is used,
+giving the secondary process access to the hardware and software rings for each network port.
+Similarly, the memory pool of mbufs is accessed by doing a lookup for it by name:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ mp = (proc_type == RTE_PROC_SECONDARY) ? rte_mempool_lookup(_SMP_MBUF_POOL) : rte_mempool_create(_SMP_MBUF_POOL, NB_MBUFS, MBUF_SIZE, ... )
+
+Once this initialization is complete, the main loop of each process, both primary and secondary,
+is exactly the same - each process reads from each port using the queue corresponding to its proc-id parameter,
+and writes to the corresponding transmit queue on the output port.
+
+Client-Server Multi-process Example
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The third example multi-process application included with the DPDK shows how one can
+use a client-server type multi-process design to do packet processing.
+In this example, a single server process performs the packet reception from the ports being used and
+distributes these packets using round-robin ordering among a set of client processes,
+which perform the actual packet processing.
+In this case, the client applications just perform level-2 forwarding of packets by sending each packet out on a different network port.
+
+The following diagram shows the data-flow through the application, using two client processes.
+
+.. _figure_client_svr_sym_multi_proc_app:
+
+.. figure:: img/client_svr_sym_multi_proc_app.*
+
+ Example Data Flow in a Client-Server Symmetric Multi-process Application
+
+
+Running the Application
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The server process must be run initially as the primary process to set up all memory structures for use by the clients.
+In addition to the EAL parameters, the application- specific parameters are:
+
+* -p <portmask >, where portmask is a hexadecimal bitmask of what ports on the system are to be used.
+ For example: -p 3 to use ports 0 and 1 only.
+
+* -n <num-clients>, where the num-clients parameter is the number of client processes that will process the packets received
+ by the server application.
+
+.. note::
+
+ In the server process, a single thread, the master thread, that is, the lowest numbered lcore in the coremask, performs all packet I/O.
+ If a coremask is specified with more than a single lcore bit set in it,
+ an additional lcore will be used for a thread to periodically print packet count statistics.
+
+Since the server application stores configuration data in shared memory, including the network ports to be used,
+the only application parameter needed by a client process is its client instance ID.
+Therefore, to run a server application on lcore 1 (with lcore 2 printing statistics) along with two client processes running on lcores 3 and 4,
+the following commands could be used:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ # ./mp_server/build/mp_server -c 6 -n 4 -- -p 3 -n 2
+ # ./mp_client/build/mp_client -c 8 -n 4 --proc-type=auto -- -n 0
+ # ./mp_client/build/mp_client -c 10 -n 4 --proc-type=auto -- -n 1
+
+.. note::
+
+ If the server application dies and needs to be restarted, all client applications also need to be restarted,
+ as there is no support in the server application for it to run as a secondary process.
+ Any client processes that need restarting can be restarted without affecting the server process.
+
+How the Application Works
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The server process performs the network port and data structure initialization much as the symmetric multi-process application does when run as primary.
+One additional enhancement in this sample application is that the server process stores its port configuration data in a memory zone in hugepage shared memory.
+This eliminates the need for the client processes to have the portmask parameter passed into them on the command line,
+as is done for the symmetric multi-process application, and therefore eliminates mismatched parameters as a potential source of errors.
+
+In the same way that the server process is designed to be run as a primary process instance only,
+the client processes are designed to be run as secondary instances only.
+They have no code to attempt to create shared memory objects.
+Instead, handles to all needed rings and memory pools are obtained via calls to rte_ring_lookup() and rte_mempool_lookup().
+The network ports for use by the processes are obtained by loading the network port drivers and probing the PCI bus,
+which will, as in the symmetric multi-process example,
+automatically get access to the network ports using the settings already configured by the primary/server process.
+
+Once all applications are initialized, the server operates by reading packets from each network port in turn and
+distributing those packets to the client queues (software rings, one for each client process) in round-robin order.
+On the client side, the packets are read from the rings in as big of bursts as possible, then routed out to a different network port.
+The routing used is very simple. All packets received on the first NIC port are transmitted back out on the second port and vice versa.
+Similarly, packets are routed between the 3rd and 4th network ports and so on.
+The sending of packets is done by writing the packets directly to the network ports; they are not transferred back via the server process.
+
+In both the server and the client processes, outgoing packets are buffered before being sent,
+so as to allow the sending of multiple packets in a single burst to improve efficiency.
+For example, the client process will buffer packets to send,
+until either the buffer is full or until we receive no further packets from the server.
+
+Master-slave Multi-process Example
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The fourth example of DPDK multi-process support demonstrates a master-slave model that
+provide the capability of application recovery if a slave process crashes or meets unexpected conditions.
+In addition, it also demonstrates the floating process,
+which can run among different cores in contrast to the traditional way of binding a process/thread to a specific CPU core,
+using the local cache mechanism of mempool structures.
+
+This application performs the same functionality as the L2 Forwarding sample application,
+therefore this chapter does not cover that part but describes functionality that is introduced in this multi-process example only.
+Please refer to :doc:`l2_forward_real_virtual` for more information.
+
+Unlike previous examples where all processes are started from the command line with input arguments, in this example,
+only one process is spawned from the command line and that process creates other processes.
+The following section describes this in more detail.
+
+Master-slave Process Models
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The process spawned from the command line is called the *master process* in this document.
+A process created by the master is called a *slave process*.
+The application has only one master process, but could have multiple slave processes.
+
+Once the master process begins to run, it tries to initialize all the resources such as
+memory, CPU cores, driver, ports, and so on, as the other examples do.
+Thereafter, it creates slave processes, as shown in the following figure.
+
+.. _figure_master_slave_proc:
+
+.. figure:: img/master_slave_proc.*
+
+ Master-slave Process Workflow
+
+
+The master process calls the rte_eal_mp_remote_launch() EAL function to launch an application function for each pinned thread through the pipe.
+Then, it waits to check if any slave processes have exited.
+If so, the process tries to re-initialize the resources that belong to that slave and launch them in the pinned thread entry again.
+The following section describes the recovery procedures in more detail.
+
+For each pinned thread in EAL, after reading any data from the pipe, it tries to call the function that the application specified.
+In this master specified function, a fork() call creates a slave process that performs the L2 forwarding task.
+Then, the function waits until the slave exits, is killed or crashes. Thereafter, it notifies the master of this event and returns.
+Finally, the EAL pinned thread waits until the new function is launched.
+
+After discussing the master-slave model, it is necessary to mention another issue, global and static variables.
+
+For multiple-thread cases, all global and static variables have only one copy and they can be accessed by any thread if applicable.
+So, they can be used to sync or share data among threads.
+
+In the previous examples, each process has separate global and static variables in memory and are independent of each other.
+If it is necessary to share the knowledge, some communication mechanism should be deployed, such as, memzone, ring, shared memory, and so on.
+The global or static variables are not a valid approach to share data among processes.
+For variables in this example, on the one hand, the slave process inherits all the knowledge of these variables after being created by the master.
+On the other hand, other processes cannot know if one or more processes modifies them after slave creation since that
+is the nature of a multiple process address space.
+But this does not mean that these variables cannot be used to share or sync data; it depends on the use case.
+The following are the possible use cases:
+
+#. The master process starts and initializes a variable and it will never be changed after slave processes created. This case is OK.
+
+#. After the slave processes are created, the master or slave cores need to change a variable, but other processes do not need to know the change.
+ This case is also OK.
+
+#. After the slave processes are created, the master or a slave needs to change a variable.
+ In the meantime, one or more other process needs to be aware of the change.
+ In this case, global and static variables cannot be used to share knowledge. Another communication mechanism is needed.
+ A simple approach without lock protection can be a heap buffer allocated by rte_malloc or mem zone.
+
+Slave Process Recovery Mechanism
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Before talking about the recovery mechanism, it is necessary to know what is needed before a new slave instance can run if a previous one exited.
+
+When a slave process exits, the system returns all the resources allocated for this process automatically.
+However, this does not include the resources that were allocated by the DPDK. All the hardware resources are shared among the processes,
+which include memzone, mempool, ring, a heap buffer allocated by the rte_malloc library, and so on.
+If the new instance runs and the allocated resource is not returned, either resource allocation failed or the hardware resource is lost forever.
+
+When a slave process runs, it may have dependencies on other processes.
+They could have execution sequence orders; they could share the ring to communicate; they could share the same port for reception and forwarding;
+they could use lock structures to do exclusive access in some critical path.
+What happens to the dependent process(es) if the peer leaves?
+The consequence are varied since the dependency cases are complex.
+It depends on what the processed had shared.
+However, it is necessary to notify the peer(s) if one slave exited.
+Then, the peer(s) will be aware of that and wait until the new instance begins to run.
+
+Therefore, to provide the capability to resume the new slave instance if the previous one exited, it is necessary to provide several mechanisms:
+
+#. Keep a resource list for each slave process.
+ Before a slave process run, the master should prepare a resource list.
+ After it exits, the master could either delete the allocated resources and create new ones,
+ or re-initialize those for use by the new instance.
+
+#. Set up a notification mechanism for slave process exit cases. After the specific slave leaves,
+ the master should be notified and then help to create a new instance.
+ This mechanism is provided in Section `Master-slave Process Models`_.
+
+#. Use a synchronization mechanism among dependent processes.
+ The master should have the capability to stop or kill slave processes that have a dependency on the one that has exited.
+ Then, after the new instance of exited slave process begins to run, the dependency ones could resume or run from the start.
+ The example sends a STOP command to slave processes dependent on the exited one, then they will exit.
+ Thereafter, the master creates new instances for the exited slave processes.
+
+The following diagram describes slave process recovery.
+
+.. _figure_slave_proc_recov:
+
+.. figure:: img/slave_proc_recov.*
+
+ Slave Process Recovery Process Flow
+
+
+Floating Process Support
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+When the DPDK application runs, there is always a -c option passed in to indicate the cores that are enabled.
+Then, the DPDK creates a thread for each enabled core.
+By doing so, it creates a 1:1 mapping between the enabled core and each thread.
+The enabled core always has an ID, therefore, each thread has a unique core ID in the DPDK execution environment.
+With the ID, each thread can easily access the structures or resources exclusively belonging to it without using function parameter passing.
+It can easily use the rte_lcore_id() function to get the value in every function that is called.
+
+For threads/processes not created in that way, either pinned to a core or not, they will not own a unique ID and the
+rte_lcore_id() function will not work in the correct way.
+However, sometimes these threads/processes still need the unique ID mechanism to do easy access on structures or resources.
+For example, the DPDK mempool library provides a local cache mechanism
+(refer to :ref:`mempool_local_cache`)
+for fast element allocation and freeing.
+If using a non-unique ID or a fake one,
+a race condition occurs if two or more threads/ processes with the same core ID try to use the local cache.
+
+Therefore, unused core IDs from the passing of parameters with the -c option are used to organize the core ID allocation array.
+Once the floating process is spawned, it tries to allocate a unique core ID from the array and release it on exit.
+
+A natural way to spawn a floating process is to use the fork() function and allocate a unique core ID from the unused core ID array.
+However, it is necessary to write new code to provide a notification mechanism for slave exit
+and make sure the process recovery mechanism can work with it.
+
+To avoid producing redundant code, the Master-Slave process model is still used to spawn floating processes,
+then cancel the affinity to specific cores.
+Besides that, clear the core ID assigned to the DPDK spawning a thread that has a 1:1 mapping with the core mask.
+Thereafter, get a new core ID from the unused core ID allocation array.
+
+Run the Application
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This example has a command line similar to the L2 Forwarding sample application with a few differences.
+
+To run the application, start one copy of the l2fwd_fork binary in one terminal.
+Unlike the L2 Forwarding example,
+this example requires at least three cores since the master process will wait and be accountable for slave process recovery.
+The command is as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ #./build/l2fwd_fork -c 1c -n 4 -- -p 3 -f
+
+This example provides another -f option to specify the use of floating process.
+If not specified, the example will use a pinned process to perform the L2 forwarding task.
+
+To verify the recovery mechanism, proceed as follows: First, check the PID of the slave processes:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ #ps -fe | grep l2fwd_fork
+ root 5136 4843 29 11:11 pts/1 00:00:05 ./build/l2fwd_fork
+ root 5145 5136 98 11:11 pts/1 00:00:11 ./build/l2fwd_fork
+ root 5146 5136 98 11:11 pts/1 00:00:11 ./build/l2fwd_fork
+
+Then, kill one of the slaves:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ #kill -9 5145
+
+After 1 or 2 seconds, check whether the slave has resumed:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ #ps -fe | grep l2fwd_fork
+ root 5136 4843 3 11:11 pts/1 00:00:06 ./build/l2fwd_fork
+ root 5247 5136 99 11:14 pts/1 00:00:01 ./build/l2fwd_fork
+ root 5248 5136 99 11:14 pts/1 00:00:01 ./build/l2fwd_fork
+
+It can also monitor the traffic generator statics to see whether slave processes have resumed.
+
+Explanation
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+As described in previous sections,
+not all global and static variables need to change to be accessible in multiple processes;
+it depends on how they are used.
+In this example,
+the statics info on packets dropped/forwarded/received count needs to be updated by the slave process,
+and the master needs to see the update and print them out.
+So, it needs to allocate a heap buffer using rte_zmalloc.
+In addition, if the -f option is specified,
+an array is needed to store the allocated core ID for the floating process so that the master can return it
+after a slave has exited accidentally.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static int
+ l2fwd_malloc_shared_struct(void)
+ {
+ port_statistics = rte_zmalloc("port_stat", sizeof(struct l2fwd_port_statistics) * RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS, 0);
+
+ if (port_statistics == NULL)
+ return -1;
+
+ /* allocate mapping_id array */
+
+ if (float_proc) {
+ int i;
+
+ mapping_id = rte_malloc("mapping_id", sizeof(unsigned) * RTE_MAX_LCORE, 0);
+ if (mapping_id == NULL)
+ return -1;
+
+ for (i = 0 ;i < RTE_MAX_LCORE; i++)
+ mapping_id[i] = INVALID_MAPPING_ID;
+
+ }
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+For each slave process, packets are received from one port and forwarded to another port that another slave is operating on.
+If the other slave exits accidentally, the port it is operating on may not work normally,
+so the first slave cannot forward packets to that port.
+There is a dependency on the port in this case. So, the master should recognize the dependency.
+The following is the code to detect this dependency:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ for (portid = 0; portid < nb_ports; portid++) {
+ /* skip ports that are not enabled */
+
+ if ((l2fwd_enabled_port_mask & (1 << portid)) == 0)
+ continue;
+
+ /* Find pair ports' lcores */
+
+ find_lcore = find_pair_lcore = 0;
+ pair_port = l2fwd_dst_ports[portid];
+
+ for (i = 0; i < RTE_MAX_LCORE; i++) {
+ if (!rte_lcore_is_enabled(i))
+ continue;
+
+ for (j = 0; j < lcore_queue_conf[i].n_rx_port;j++) {
+ if (lcore_queue_conf[i].rx_port_list[j] == portid) {
+ lcore = i;
+ find_lcore = 1;
+ break;
+ }
+
+ if (lcore_queue_conf[i].rx_port_list[j] == pair_port) {
+ pair_lcore = i;
+ find_pair_lcore = 1;
+ break;
+ }
+ }
+
+ if (find_lcore && find_pair_lcore)
+ break;
+ }
+
+ if (!find_lcore || !find_pair_lcore)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Not find port=%d pair\\n", portid);
+
+ printf("lcore %u and %u paired\\n", lcore, pair_lcore);
+
+ lcore_resource[lcore].pair_id = pair_lcore;
+ lcore_resource[pair_lcore].pair_id = lcore;
+ }
+
+Before launching the slave process,
+it is necessary to set up the communication channel between the master and slave so that
+the master can notify the slave if its peer process with the dependency exited.
+In addition, the master needs to register a callback function in the case where a specific slave exited.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ for (i = 0; i < RTE_MAX_LCORE; i++) {
+ if (lcore_resource[i].enabled) {
+ /* Create ring for master and slave communication */

+Netmap Compatibility Sample Application
+=======================================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+The Netmap compatibility library provides a minimal set of APIs to give programs written against the Netmap APIs
+the ability to be run, with minimal changes to their source code, using the DPDK to perform the actual packet I/O.
+
+Since Netmap applications use regular system calls, like ``open()``, ``ioctl()`` and
+``mmap()`` to communicate with the Netmap kernel module performing the packet I/O,
+the ``compat_netmap`` library provides a set of similar APIs to use in place of those system calls,
+effectively turning a Netmap application into a DPDK application.
+
+The provided library is currently minimal and doesn't support all the features that Netmap supports,
+but is enough to run simple applications, such as the bridge example detailed below.
+
+Knowledge of Netmap is required to understand the rest of this section.
+Please refer to the Netmap distribution for details about Netmap.
+
+Available APIs
+--------------
+
+The library provides the following drop-in replacements for system calls usually used in Netmap applications:
+
+* ``rte_netmap_close()``
+
+* ``rte_netmap_ioctl()``
+
+* ``rte_netmap_open()``
+
+* ``rte_netmap_mmap()``
+
+* ``rte_netmap_poll()``
+
+They use the same signature as their libc counterparts, and can be used as drop-in replacements in most cases.
+
+Caveats
+-------
+
+Given the difference between the way Netmap and the DPDK approach packet I/O,
+there are caveats and limitations to be aware of when trying to use the ``compat_netmap`` library, the most important of these are listed below.
+These may change as the library is updated:
+
+* Any system call that can potentially affect file descriptors cannot be used with a descriptor returned by the ``rte_netmap_open()`` function.
+
+Note that:
+
+* The ``rte_netmap_mmap()`` function merely returns the address of a DPDK memzone.
+ The address, length, flags, offset, and other arguments are ignored.
+
+* The ``rte_netmap_poll()`` function only supports infinite (negative) or zero time outs.
+ It effectively turns calls to the ``poll()`` system call made in a Netmap application into polling of the DPDK ports,
+ changing the semantics of the usual POSIX defined poll.
+
+* Not all of Netmap's features are supported: host rings,
+ slot flags and so on are not supported or are simply not relevant in the DPDK model.
+
+* The Netmap manual page states that "*a device obtained through /dev/netmap also supports the ioctl supported by network devices*".
+ This is not the case with this compatibility layer.
+
+* The Netmap kernel module exposes a sysfs interface to change some internal parameters, such as the size of the shared memory region.
+ This interface is not available when using this compatibility layer.
+
+Porting Netmap Applications
+---------------------------
+
+Porting Netmap applications typically involves two major steps:
+
+* Changing the system calls to use their ``compat_netmap`` library counterparts.
+
+* Adding further DPDK initialization code.
+
+Since the ``compat_netmap`` functions have the same signature as the usual libc calls, the change is trivial in most cases.
+
+The usual DPDK initialization code involving ``rte_eal_init()`` and ``rte_eal_pci_probe()``
+has to be added to the Netmap application in the same way it is used in all other DPDK sample applications.
+Please refer to the *DPDK Programmer's Guide* and example source code for details about initialization.
+
+In addition of the regular DPDK initialization code,
+the ported application needs to call initialization functions for the ``compat_netmap`` library,
+namely ``rte_netmap_init()`` and ``rte_netmap_init_port()``.
+
+These two initialization functions take ``compat_netmap`` specific data structures as parameters:
+``struct rte_netmap_conf`` and ``struct rte_netmap_port_conf``.
+The structures' fields are Netmap related and are self-explanatory for developers familiar with Netmap.
+They are defined in ``$RTE_SDK/examples/netmap_compat/lib/compat_netmap.h``.
+
+The bridge application is an example largely based on the bridge example shipped with the Netmap distribution.
+It shows how a minimal Netmap application with minimal and straightforward source code changes can be run on top of the DPDK.
+Please refer to ``$RTE_SDK/examples/netmap_compat/bridge/bridge.c`` for an example of a ported application.
+
+Compiling the "bridge" Sample Application
+-----------------------------------------
+
+#. Go to the example directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/netmap_compat
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+ See the *DPDK Getting Started Guide for Linux* for possible ``RTE_TARGET`` values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Running the "bridge" Sample Application
+---------------------------------------
+
+The application requires a single command line option:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/bridge [EAL options] -- -i INTERFACE_A [-i INTERFACE_B]
+
+where,
+
+* ``-i INTERFACE``: Interface (DPDK port number) to use.
+
+ If a single ``-i`` parameter is given, the interface will send back all the traffic it receives.
+ If two ``-i`` parameters are given, the two interfaces form a bridge,
+ where traffic received on one interface is replicated and sent to the other interface.
+
+For example, to run the application in a linuxapp environment using port 0 and 2:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/bridge [EAL options] -- -i 0 -i 2
+
+Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide for Linux* for general information on running applications and
+the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
+
+Note that unlike a traditional bridge or the ``l2fwd`` sample application, no MAC address changes are done on the frames.
+Do not forget to take this into account when configuring a traffic generators and testing this sample application.

+
+Packet Ordering Application
+============================
+
+The Packet Ordering sample app simply shows the impact of reordering a stream.
+It's meant to stress the library with different configurations for performance.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The application uses at least three CPU cores:
+
+* RX core (maser core) receives traffic from the NIC ports and feeds Worker
+ cores with traffic through SW queues.
+
+* Worker core (slave core) basically do some light work on the packet.
+ Currently it modifies the output port of the packet for configurations with
+ more than one port enabled.
+
+* TX Core (slave core) receives traffic from Worker cores through software queues,
+ inserts out-of-order packets into reorder buffer, extracts ordered packets
+ from the reorder buffer and sends them to the NIC ports for transmission.
+
+Compiling the Application
+--------------------------
+
+#. Go to the example directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/helloworld
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+ See the *DPDK Getting Started* Guide for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+Refer to *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running applications
+and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
+
+Application Command Line
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The application execution command line is:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./test-pipeline [EAL options] -- -p PORTMASK [--disable-reorder]
+
+The -c EAL CPU_COREMASK option has to contain at least 3 CPU cores.
+The first CPU core in the core mask is the master core and would be assigned to
+RX core, the last to TX core and the rest to Worker cores.
+
+The PORTMASK parameter must contain either 1 or even enabled port numbers.
+When setting more than 1 port, traffic would be forwarded in pairs.
+For example, if we enable 4 ports, traffic from port 0 to 1 and from 1 to 0,
+then the other pair from 2 to 3 and from 3 to 2, having [0,1] and [2,3] pairs.
+
+The disable-reorder long option does, as its name implies, disable the reordering
+of traffic, which should help evaluate reordering performance impact.

+
+Performance Thread Sample Application
+=====================================
+
+The performance thread sample application is a derivative of the standard L3
+forwarding application that demonstrates different threading models.
+
+Overview
+--------
+For a general description of the L3 forwarding applications capabilities
+please refer to the documentation of the standard application in
+:doc:`l3_forward`.
+
+The performance thread sample application differs from the standard L3
+forwarding example in that it divides the TX and RX processing between
+different threads, and makes it possible to assign individual threads to
+different cores.
+
+Three threading models are considered:
+
+#. When there is one EAL thread per physical core.
+#. When there are multiple EAL threads per physical core.
+#. When there are multiple lightweight threads per EAL thread.
+
+Since DPDK release 2.0 it is possible to launch applications using the
+``--lcores`` EAL parameter, specifying cpu-sets for a physical core. With the
+performance thread sample application its is now also possible to assign
+individual RX and TX functions to different cores.
+
+As an alternative to dividing the L3 forwarding work between different EAL
+threads the performance thread sample introduces the possibility to run the
+application threads as lightweight threads (L-threads) within one or
+more EAL threads.
+
+In order to facilitate this threading model the example includes a primitive
+cooperative scheduler (L-thread) subsystem. More details of the L-thread
+subsystem can be found in :ref:`lthread_subsystem`.
+
+**Note:** Whilst theoretically possible it is not anticipated that multiple
+L-thread schedulers would be run on the same physical core, this mode of
+operation should not be expected to yield useful performance and is considered
+invalid.
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+The application is located in the sample application folder in the
+``performance-thread`` folder.
+
+#. Go to the example applications folder
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/performance-thread/l3fwd-thread
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+ See the *DPDK Linux Getting Started Guide* for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ make
+
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+The application has a number of command line options::
+
+ ./build/l3fwd-thread [EAL options] --
+ -p PORTMASK [-P]
+ --rx(port,queue,lcore,thread)[,(port,queue,lcore,thread)]
+ --tx(lcore,thread)[,(lcore,thread)]
+ [--enable-jumbo] [--max-pkt-len PKTLEN]] [--no-numa]
+ [--hash-entry-num] [--ipv6] [--no-lthreads] [--stat-lcore lcore]
+
+Where:
+
+* ``-p PORTMASK``: Hexadecimal bitmask of ports to configure.
+
+* ``-P``: optional, sets all ports to promiscuous mode so that packets are
+ accepted regardless of the packet's Ethernet MAC destination address.
+ Without this option, only packets with the Ethernet MAC destination address
+ set to the Ethernet address of the port are accepted.
+
+* ``--rx (port,queue,lcore,thread)[,(port,queue,lcore,thread)]``: the list of
+ NIC RX ports and queues handled by the RX lcores and threads. The parameters
+ are explained below.
+
+* ``--tx (lcore,thread)[,(lcore,thread)]``: the list of TX threads identifying
+ the lcore the thread runs on, and the id of RX thread with which it is
+ associated. The parameters are explained below.
+
+* ``--enable-jumbo``: optional, enables jumbo frames.
+
+* ``--max-pkt-len``: optional, maximum packet length in decimal (64-9600).
+
+* ``--no-numa``: optional, disables numa awareness.
+
+* ``--hash-entry-num``: optional, specifies the hash entry number in hex to be
+ setup.
+
+* ``--ipv6``: optional, set it if running ipv6 packets.
+
+* ``--no-lthreads``: optional, disables l-thread model and uses EAL threading
+ model. See below.
+
+* ``--stat-lcore``: optional, run CPU load stats collector on the specified
+ lcore.
+
+The parameters of the ``--rx`` and ``--tx`` options are:
+
+* ``--rx`` parameters
+
+ .. _table_l3fwd_rx_parameters:
+
+ +--------+------------------------------------------------------+
+ | port | RX port |
+ +--------+------------------------------------------------------+
+ | queue | RX queue that will be read on the specified RX port |
+ +--------+------------------------------------------------------+
+ | lcore | Core to use for the thread |
+ +--------+------------------------------------------------------+
+ | thread | Thread id (continuously from 0 to N) |
+ +--------+------------------------------------------------------+
+
+
+* ``--tx`` parameters
+
+ .. _table_l3fwd_tx_parameters:
+
+ +--------+------------------------------------------------------+
+ | lcore | Core to use for L3 route match and transmit |
+ +--------+------------------------------------------------------+
+ | thread | Id of RX thread to be associated with this TX thread |
+ +--------+------------------------------------------------------+
+
+The ``l3fwd-thread`` application allows you to start packet processing in two
+threading models: L-Threads (default) and EAL Threads (when the
+``--no-lthreads`` parameter is used). For consistency all parameters are used
+in the same way for both models.
+
+
+Running with L-threads
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When the L-thread model is used (default option), lcore and thread parameters
+in ``--rx/--tx`` are used to affinitize threads to the selected scheduler.
+
+For example, the following places every l-thread on different lcores::
+
+ l3fwd-thread -c ff -n 2 -- -P -p 3 \
+ --rx="(0,0,0,0)(1,0,1,1)" \
+ --tx="(2,0)(3,1)"
+
+The following places RX l-threads on lcore 0 and TX l-threads on lcore 1 and 2
+and so on::
+
+ l3fwd-thread -c ff -n 2 -- -P -p 3 \
+ --rx="(0,0,0,0)(1,0,0,1)" \
+ --tx="(1,0)(2,1)"
+
+
+Running with EAL threads
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When the ``--no-lthreads`` parameter is used, the L-threading model is turned
+off and EAL threads are used for all processing. EAL threads are enumerated in
+the same way as L-threads, but the ``--lcores`` EAL parameter is used to
+affinitize threads to the selected cpu-set (scheduler). Thus it is possible to
+place every RX and TX thread on different lcores.
+
+For example, the following places every EAL thread on different lcores::
+
+ l3fwd-thread -c ff -n 2 -- -P -p 3 \
+ --rx="(0,0,0,0)(1,0,1,1)" \
+ --tx="(2,0)(3,1)" \
+ --no-lthreads
+
+
+To affinitize two or more EAL threads to one cpu-set, the EAL ``--lcores``
+parameter is used.
+
+The following places RX EAL threads on lcore 0 and TX EAL threads on lcore 1
+and 2 and so on::
+
+ l3fwd-thread -c ff -n 2 --lcores="(0,1)@0,(2,3)@1" -- -P -p 3 \
+ --rx="(0,0,0,0)(1,0,1,1)" \
+ --tx="(2,0)(3,1)" \
+ --no-lthreads
+
+
+Examples
+~~~~~~~~
+
+For selected scenarios the command line configuration of the application for L-threads
+and its corresponding EAL threads command line can be realized as follows:
+
+a) Start every thread on different scheduler (1:1)::
+
+ l3fwd-thread -c ff -n 2 -- -P -p 3 \
+ --rx="(0,0,0,0)(1,0,1,1)" \
+ --tx="(2,0)(3,1)"
+
+ EAL thread equivalent::
+
+ l3fwd-thread -c ff -n 2 -- -P -p 3 \
+ --rx="(0,0,0,0)(1,0,1,1)" \
+ --tx="(2,0)(3,1)" \
+ --no-lthreads
+
+b) Start all threads on one core (N:1).
+
+ Start 4 L-threads on lcore 0::
+
+ l3fwd-thread -c ff -n 2 -- -P -p 3 \
+ --rx="(0,0,0,0)(1,0,0,1)" \
+ --tx="(0,0)(0,1)"
+
+ Start 4 EAL threads on cpu-set 0::
+
+ l3fwd-thread -c ff -n 2 --lcores="(0-3)@0" -- -P -p 3 \
+ --rx="(0,0,0,0)(1,0,0,1)" \
+ --tx="(2,0)(3,1)" \
+ --no-lthreads
+
+c) Start threads on different cores (N:M).
+
+ Start 2 L-threads for RX on lcore 0, and 2 L-threads for TX on lcore 1::
+
+ l3fwd-thread -c ff -n 2 -- -P -p 3 \
+ --rx="(0,0,0,0)(1,0,0,1)" \
+ --tx="(1,0)(1,1)"
+
+ Start 2 EAL threads for RX on cpu-set 0, and 2 EAL threads for TX on
+ cpu-set 1::
+
+ l3fwd-thread -c ff -n 2 --lcores="(0-1)@0,(2-3)@1" -- -P -p 3 \
+ --rx="(0,0,0,0)(1,0,1,1)" \
+ --tx="(2,0)(3,1)" \
+ --no-lthreads
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+To a great extent the sample application differs little from the standard L3
+forwarding application, and readers are advised to familiarize themselves with
+the material covered in the :doc:`l3_forward` documentation before proceeding.
+
+The following explanation is focused on the way threading is handled in the
+performance thread example.

+
+The performance thread sample application has split the RX and TX functionality
+into two different threads, and the RX and TX threads are
+interconnected via software rings. With respect to these rings the RX threads
+are producers and the TX threads are consumers.
+
+On initialization the TX and RX threads are started according to the command
+line parameters.
+
+The RX threads poll the network interface queues and post received packets to a
+TX thread via a corresponding software ring.
+
+The TX threads poll software rings, perform the L3 forwarding hash/LPM match,
+and assemble packet bursts before performing burst transmit on the network
+interface.
+
+As with the standard L3 forward application, burst draining of residual packets
+is performed periodically with the period calculated from elapsed time using
+the timestamps counter.
+
+The diagram below illustrates a case with two RX threads and three TX threads.
+
+.. _figure_performance_thread_1:
+
+.. figure:: img/performance_thread_1.*
+
+
+Mode of operation with L-threads
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Like the EAL thread configuration the application has split the RX and TX
+functionality into different threads, and the pairs of RX and TX threads are
+interconnected via software rings.
+
+On initialization an L-thread scheduler is started on every EAL thread. On all
+but the master EAL thread only a a dummy L-thread is initially started.
+The L-thread started on the master EAL thread then spawns other L-threads on
+different L-thread schedulers according the the command line parameters.
+
+The RX threads poll the network interface queues and post received packets
+to a TX thread via the corresponding software ring.
+
+The ring interface is augmented by means of an L-thread condition variable that
+enables the TX thread to be suspended when the TX ring is empty. The RX thread
+signals the condition whenever it posts to the TX ring, causing the TX thread
+to be resumed.
+
+Additionally the TX L-thread spawns a worker L-thread to take care of
+polling the software rings, whilst it handles burst draining of the transmit
+buffer.
+
+The worker threads poll the software rings, perform L3 route lookup and
+assemble packet bursts. If the TX ring is empty the worker thread suspends
+itself by waiting on the condition variable associated with the ring.
+
+Burst draining of residual packets, less than the burst size, is performed by
+the TX thread which sleeps (using an L-thread sleep function) and resumes
+periodically to flush the TX buffer.
+
+This design means that L-threads that have no work, can yield the CPU to other
+L-threads and avoid having to constantly poll the software rings.
+
+The diagram below illustrates a case with two RX threads and three TX functions
+(each comprising a thread that processes forwarding and a thread that
+periodically drains the output buffer of residual packets).
+
+.. _figure_performance_thread_2:
+
+.. figure:: img/performance_thread_2.*
+
+
+CPU load statistics
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+It is possible to display statistics showing estimated CPU load on each core.
+The statistics indicate the percentage of CPU time spent: processing
+received packets (forwarding), polling queues/rings (waiting for work),
+and doing any other processing (context switch and other overhead).
+
+When enabled statistics are gathered by having the application threads set and
+clear flags when they enter and exit pertinent code sections. The flags are
+then sampled in real time by a statistics collector thread running on another
+core. This thread displays the data in real time on the console.
+
+This feature is enabled by designating a statistics collector core, using the
+``--stat-lcore`` parameter.
+
+
+.. _lthread_subsystem:
+
+The L-thread subsystem
+----------------------
+
+The L-thread subsystem resides in the examples/performance-thread/common
+directory and is built and linked automatically when building the
+``l3fwd-thread`` example.
+
+The subsystem provides a simple cooperative scheduler to enable arbitrary
+functions to run as cooperative threads within a single EAL thread.
+The subsystem provides a pthread like API that is intended to assist in
+reuse of legacy code written for POSIX pthreads.
+
+The following sections provide some detail on the features, constraints,
+performance and porting considerations when using L-threads.
+
+
+.. _comparison_between_lthreads_and_pthreads:
+
+Comparison between L-threads and POSIX pthreads
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The fundamental difference between the L-thread and pthread models is the
+way in which threads are scheduled. The simplest way to think about this is to
+consider the case of a processor with a single CPU. To run multiple threads
+on a single CPU, the scheduler must frequently switch between the threads,
+in order that each thread is able to make timely progress.
+This is the basis of any multitasking operating system.
+
+This section explores the differences between the pthread model and the
+L-thread model as implemented in the provided L-thread subsystem. If needed a
+theoretical discussion of preemptive vs cooperative multi-threading can be
+found in any good text on operating system design.
+
+
+Scheduling and context switching
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The POSIX pthread library provides an application programming interface to
+create and synchronize threads. Scheduling policy is determined by the host OS,
+and may be configurable. The OS may use sophisticated rules to determine which
+thread should be run next, threads may suspend themselves or make other threads
+ready, and the scheduler may employ a time slice giving each thread a maximum
+time quantum after which it will be preempted in favor of another thread that
+is ready to run. To complicate matters further threads may be assigned
+different scheduling priorities.
+
+By contrast the L-thread subsystem is considerably simpler. Logically the
+L-thread scheduler performs the same multiplexing function for L-threads
+within a single pthread as the OS scheduler does for pthreads within an
+application process. The L-thread scheduler is simply the main loop of a
+pthread, and in so far as the host OS is concerned it is a regular pthread
+just like any other. The host OS is oblivious about the existence of and
+not at all involved in the scheduling of L-threads.
+
+The other and most significant difference between the two models is that
+L-threads are scheduled cooperatively. L-threads cannot not preempt each
+other, nor can the L-thread scheduler preempt a running L-thread (i.e.
+there is no time slicing). The consequence is that programs implemented with
+L-threads must possess frequent rescheduling points, meaning that they must
+explicitly and of their own volition return to the scheduler at frequent
+intervals, in order to allow other L-threads an opportunity to proceed.
+
+In both models switching between threads requires that the current CPU
+context is saved and a new context (belonging to the next thread ready to run)
+is restored. With pthreads this context switching is handled transparently
+and the set of CPU registers that must be preserved between context switches
+is as per an interrupt handler.
+
+An L-thread context switch is achieved by the thread itself making a function
+call to the L-thread scheduler. Thus it is only necessary to preserve the
+callee registers. The caller is responsible to save and restore any other
+registers it is using before a function call, and restore them on return,
+and this is handled by the compiler. For ``X86_64`` on both Linux and BSD the
+System V calling convention is used, this defines registers RSP, RBP, and
+R12-R15 as callee-save registers (for more detailed discussion a good reference
+is `X86 Calling Conventions <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_calling_conventions>`_).
+
+Taking advantage of this, and due to the absence of preemption, an L-thread
+context switch is achieved with less than 20 load/store instructions.
+
+The scheduling policy for L-threads is fixed, there is no prioritization of
+L-threads, all L-threads are equal and scheduling is based on a FIFO
+ready queue.
+
+An L-thread is a struct containing the CPU context of the thread
+(saved on context switch) and other useful items. The ready queue contains
+pointers to threads that are ready to run. The L-thread scheduler is a simple
+loop that polls the ready queue, reads from it the next thread ready to run,
+which it resumes by saving the current context (the current position in the
+scheduler loop) and restoring the context of the next thread from its thread
+struct. Thus an L-thread is always resumed at the last place it yielded.
+
+A well behaved L-thread will call the context switch regularly (at least once
+in its main loop) thus returning to the scheduler's own main loop. Yielding
+inserts the current thread at the back of the ready queue, and the process of
+servicing the ready queue is repeated, thus the system runs by flipping back
+and forth the between L-threads and scheduler loop.
+
+In the case of pthreads, the preemptive scheduling, time slicing, and support
+for thread prioritization means that progress is normally possible for any
+thread that is ready to run. This comes at the price of a relatively heavier
+context switch and scheduling overhead.
+
+With L-threads the progress of any particular thread is determined by the
+frequency of rescheduling opportunities in the other L-threads. This means that
+an errant L-thread monopolizing the CPU might cause scheduling of other threads
+to be stalled. Due to the lower cost of context switching, however, voluntary
+rescheduling to ensure progress of other threads, if managed sensibly, is not
+a prohibitive overhead, and overall performance can exceed that of an
+application using pthreads.
+
+
+Mutual exclusion
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+With pthreads preemption means that threads that share data must observe
+some form of mutual exclusion protocol.
+
+The fact that L-threads cannot preempt each other means that in many cases
+mutual exclusion devices can be completely avoided.
+
+Locking to protect shared data can be a significant bottleneck in
+multi-threaded applications so a carefully designed cooperatively scheduled
+program can enjoy significant performance advantages.
+
+So far we have considered only the simplistic case of a single core CPU,
+when multiple CPUs are considered things are somewhat more complex.
+
+First of all it is inevitable that there must be multiple L-thread schedulers,
+one running on each EAL thread. So long as these schedulers remain isolated
+from each other the above assertions about the potential advantages of
+cooperative scheduling hold true.
+
+A configuration with isolated cooperative schedulers is less flexible than the
+pthread model where threads can be affinitized to run on any CPU. With isolated
+schedulers scaling of applications to utilize fewer or more CPUs according to
+system demand is very difficult to achieve.
+
+The L-thread subsystem makes it possible for L-threads to migrate between
+schedulers running on different CPUs. Needless to say if the migration means
+that threads that share data end up running on different CPUs then this will
+introduce the need for some kind of mutual exclusion system.
+
+Of course ``rte_ring`` software rings can always be used to interconnect
+threads running on different cores, however to protect other kinds of shared
+data structures, lock free constructs or else explicit locking will be
+required. This is a consideration for the application design.
+
+In support of this extended functionality, the L-thread subsystem implements
+thread safe mutexes and condition variables.
+
+The cost of affinitizing and of condition variable signaling is significantly
+lower than the equivalent pthread operations, and so applications using these
+features will see a performance benefit.
+
+
+Thread local storage
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+As with applications written for pthreads an application written for L-threads
+can take advantage of thread local storage, in this case local to an L-thread.
+An application may save and retrieve a single pointer to application data in
+the L-thread struct.
+
+For legacy and backward compatibility reasons two alternative methods are also
+offered, the first is modelled directly on the pthread get/set specific APIs,
+the second approach is modelled on the ``RTE_PER_LCORE`` macros, whereby
+``PER_LTHREAD`` macros are introduced, in both cases the storage is local to
+the L-thread.
+
+
+.. _constraints_and_performance_implications:
+
+Constraints and performance implications when using L-threads
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+
+.. _API_compatibility:
+
+API compatibility
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The L-thread subsystem provides a set of functions that are logically equivalent
+to the corresponding functions offered by the POSIX pthread library, however not
+all pthread functions have a corresponding L-thread equivalent, and not all
+features available to pthreads are implemented for L-threads.
+
+The pthread library offers considerable flexibility via programmable attributes
+that can be associated with threads, mutexes, and condition variables.
+
+By contrast the L-thread subsystem has fixed functionality, the scheduler policy
+cannot be varied, and L-threads cannot be prioritized. There are no variable
+attributes associated with any L-thread objects. L-threads, mutexes and
+conditional variables, all have fixed functionality. (Note: reserved parameters
+are included in the APIs to facilitate possible future support for attributes).
+
+The table below lists the pthread and equivalent L-thread APIs with notes on
+differences and/or constraints. Where there is no L-thread entry in the table,
+then the L-thread subsystem provides no equivalent function.

+.. _table_lthread_pthread:

+
+
+**Note 1**:
+
+Neither lthread signal nor broadcast may be called concurrently by L-threads
+running on different schedulers, although multiple L-threads running in the
+same scheduler may freely perform signal or broadcast operations. L-threads
+running on the same or different schedulers may always safely wait on a
+condition variable.
+
+
+**Note 2**:
+
+Pthread attributes may be used to affinitize a pthread with a cpu-set. The
+L-thread subsystem does not support a cpu-set. An L-thread may be affinitized
+only with a single CPU at any time.
+
+
+**Note 3**:
+
+If an L-thread is intended to run on a different NUMA node than the node that
+creates the thread then, when calling ``lthread_create()`` it is advantageous
+to specify the destination core as a parameter of ``lthread_create()``. See
+:ref:`memory_allocation_and_NUMA_awareness` for details.
+
+
+**Note 4**:
+
+An L-thread can only detach itself, and cannot detach other L-threads.
+
+
+**Note 5**:
+
+A wait operation on a pthread condition variable is always associated with and
+protected by a mutex which must be owned by the thread at the time it invokes
+``pthread_wait()``. By contrast L-thread condition variables are thread safe
+(for waiters) and do not use an associated mutex. Multiple L-threads (including
+L-threads running on other schedulers) can safely wait on a L-thread condition
+variable. As a consequence the performance of an L-thread condition variables
+is typically an order of magnitude faster than its pthread counterpart.
+
+
+**Note 6**:
+
+Recursive locking is not supported with L-threads, attempts to take a lock
+recursively will be detected and rejected.
+
+
+**Note 7**:
+
+``lthread_yield()`` will save the current context, insert the current thread
+to the back of the ready queue, and resume the next ready thread. Yielding
+increases ready queue backlog, see :ref:`ready_queue_backlog` for more details
+about the implications of this.
+
+
+N.B. The context switch time as measured from immediately before the call to
+``lthread_yield()`` to the point at which the next ready thread is resumed,
+can be an order of magnitude faster that the same measurement for
+pthread_yield.
+
+
+**Note 8**:
+
+``lthread_set_affinity()`` is similar to a yield apart from the fact that the
+yielding thread is inserted into a peer ready queue of another scheduler.
+The peer ready queue is actually a separate thread safe queue, which means that
+threads appearing in the peer ready queue can jump any backlog in the local
+ready queue on the destination scheduler.
+
+The context switch time as measured from the time just before the call to
+``lthread_set_affinity()`` to just after the same thread is resumed on the new
+scheduler can be orders of magnitude faster than the same measurement for
+``pthread_setaffinity_np()``.
+
+
+**Note 9**:
+
+Although there is no ``pthread_sleep()`` function, ``lthread_sleep()`` and
+``lthread_sleep_clks()`` can be used wherever ``sleep()``, ``usleep()`` or
+``nanosleep()`` might ordinarily be used. The L-thread sleep functions suspend
+the current thread, start an ``rte_timer`` and resume the thread when the
+timer matures. The ``rte_timer_manage()`` entry point is called on every pass
+of the scheduler loop. This means that the worst case jitter on timer expiry
+is determined by the longest period between context switches of any running
+L-threads.
+
+In a synthetic test with many threads sleeping and resuming then the measured
+jitter is typically orders of magnitude lower than the same measurement made
+for ``nanosleep()``.
+
+
+**Note 10**:
+
+Spin locks are not provided because they are problematical in a cooperative
+environment, see :ref:`porting_locks_and_spinlocks` for a more detailed
+discussion on how to avoid spin locks.
+
+
+.. _Thread_local_storage_performance:
+
+Thread local storage
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Of the three L-thread local storage options the simplest and most efficient is
+storing a single application data pointer in the L-thread struct.
+
+The ``PER_LTHREAD`` macros involve a run time computation to obtain the address
+of the variable being saved/retrieved and also require that the accesses are
+de-referenced via a pointer. This means that code that has used
+``RTE_PER_LCORE`` macros being ported to L-threads might need some slight
+adjustment (see :ref:`porting_thread_local_storage` for hints about porting
+code that makes use of thread local storage).
+
+The get/set specific APIs are consistent with their pthread counterparts both
+in use and in performance.
+
+
+.. _memory_allocation_and_NUMA_awareness:
+
+Memory allocation and NUMA awareness
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+All memory allocation is from DPDK huge pages, and is NUMA aware. Each
+scheduler maintains its own caches of objects: lthreads, their stacks, TLS,
+mutexes and condition variables. These caches are implemented as unbounded lock
+free MPSC queues. When objects are created they are always allocated from the
+caches on the local core (current EAL thread).
+
+If an L-thread has been affinitized to a different scheduler, then it can
+always safely free resources to the caches from which they originated (because
+the caches are MPSC queues).
+
+If the L-thread has been affinitized to a different NUMA node then the memory
+resources associated with it may incur longer access latency.
+
+The commonly used pattern of setting affinity on entry to a thread after it has
+started, means that memory allocation for both the stack and TLS will have been
+made from caches on the NUMA node on which the threads creator is running.
+This has the side effect that access latency will be sub-optimal after
+affinitizing.
+
+This side effect can be mitigated to some extent (although not completely) by
+specifying the destination CPU as a parameter of ``lthread_create()`` this
+causes the L-thread's stack and TLS to be allocated when it is first scheduled
+on the destination scheduler, if the destination is a on another NUMA node it
+results in a more optimal memory allocation.
+
+Note that the lthread struct itself remains allocated from memory on the
+creating node, this is unavoidable because an L-thread is known everywhere by
+the address of this struct.
+
+
+.. _object_cache_sizing:
+
+Object cache sizing
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The per lcore object caches pre-allocate objects in bulk whenever a request to
+allocate an object finds a cache empty. By default 100 objects are
+pre-allocated, this is defined by ``LTHREAD_PREALLOC`` in the public API
+header file lthread_api.h. This means that the caches constantly grow to meet
+system demand.
+
+In the present implementation there is no mechanism to reduce the cache sizes
+if system demand reduces. Thus the caches will remain at their maximum extent
+indefinitely.
+
+A consequence of the bulk pre-allocation of objects is that every 100 (default
+value) additional new object create operations results in a call to
+``rte_malloc()``. For creation of objects such as L-threads, which trigger the
+allocation of even more objects (i.e. their stacks and TLS) then this can
+cause outliers in scheduling performance.
+
+If this is a problem the simplest mitigation strategy is to dimension the
+system, by setting the bulk object pre-allocation size to some large number
+that you do not expect to be exceeded. This means the caches will be populated
+once only, the very first time a thread is created.
+
+
+.. _Ready_queue_backlog:
+
+Ready queue backlog
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+One of the more subtle performance considerations is managing the ready queue
+backlog. The fewer threads that are waiting in the ready queue then the faster
+any particular thread will get serviced.
+
+In a naive L-thread application with N L-threads simply looping and yielding,
+this backlog will always be equal to the number of L-threads, thus the cost of
+a yield to a particular L-thread will be N times the context switch time.
+
+This side effect can be mitigated by arranging for threads to be suspended and
+wait to be resumed, rather than polling for work by constantly yielding.
+Blocking on a mutex or condition variable or even more obviously having a
+thread sleep if it has a low frequency workload are all mechanisms by which a
+thread can be excluded from the ready queue until it really does need to be
+run. This can have a significant positive impact on performance.
+
+
+.. _Initialization_and_shutdown_dependencies:
+
+Initialization, shutdown and dependencies
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The L-thread subsystem depends on DPDK for huge page allocation and depends on
+the ``rte_timer subsystem``. The DPDK EAL initialization and
+``rte_timer_subsystem_init()`` **MUST** be completed before the L-thread sub
+system can be used.
+
+Thereafter initialization of the L-thread subsystem is largely transparent to
+the application. Constructor functions ensure that global variables are properly
+initialized. Other than global variables each scheduler is initialized
+independently the first time that an L-thread is created by a particular EAL
+thread.
+
+If the schedulers are to be run as isolated and independent schedulers, with
+no intention that L-threads running on different schedulers will migrate between
+schedulers or synchronize with L-threads running on other schedulers, then
+initialization consists simply of creating an L-thread, and then running the
+L-thread scheduler.
+
+If there will be interaction between L-threads running on different schedulers,
+then it is important that the starting of schedulers on different EAL threads
+is synchronized.
+
+To achieve this an additional initialization step is necessary, this is simply
+to set the number of schedulers by calling the API function
+``lthread_num_schedulers_set(n)``, where ``n`` is the number of EAL threads
+that will run L-thread schedulers. Setting the number of schedulers to a
+number greater than 0 will cause all schedulers to wait until the others have
+started before beginning to schedule L-threads.
+
+The L-thread scheduler is started by calling the function ``lthread_run()``
+and should be called from the EAL thread and thus become the main loop of the
+EAL thread.
+
+The function ``lthread_run()``, will not return until all threads running on
+the scheduler have exited, and the scheduler has been explicitly stopped by
+calling ``lthread_scheduler_shutdown(lcore)`` or
+``lthread_scheduler_shutdown_all()``.
+
+All these function do is tell the scheduler that it can exit when there are no
+longer any running L-threads, neither function forces any running L-thread to
+terminate. Any desired application shutdown behavior must be designed and
+built into the application to ensure that L-threads complete in a timely
+manner.
+
+**Important Note:** It is assumed when the scheduler exits that the application
+is terminating for good, the scheduler does not free resources before exiting
+and running the scheduler a subsequent time will result in undefined behavior.
+

+.. _porting_legacy_code_to_run_on_lthreads:
+
+Porting legacy code to run on L-threads
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Legacy code originally written for a pthread environment may be ported to
+L-threads if the considerations about differences in scheduling policy, and
+constraints discussed in the previous sections can be accommodated.
+
+This section looks in more detail at some of the issues that may have to be
+resolved when porting code.
+
+
+.. _pthread_API_compatibility:
+
+pthread API compatibility
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The first step is to establish exactly which pthread APIs the legacy
+application uses, and to understand the requirements of those APIs. If there
+are corresponding L-lthread APIs, and where the default pthread functionality
+is used by the application then, notwithstanding the other issues discussed
+here, it should be feasible to run the application with L-threads. If the
+legacy code modifies the default behavior using attributes then if may be
+necessary to make some adjustments to eliminate those requirements.
+
+
+.. _blocking_system_calls:
+
+Blocking system API calls
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+It is important to understand what other system services the application may be
+using, bearing in mind that in a cooperatively scheduled environment a thread
+cannot block without stalling the scheduler and with it all other cooperative
+threads. Any kind of blocking system call, for example file or socket IO, is a
+potential problem, a good tool to analyze the application for this purpose is
+the ``strace`` utility.
+
+There are many strategies to resolve these kind of issues, each with it
+merits. Possible solutions include:
+
+* Adopting a polled mode of the system API concerned (if available).
+
+* Arranging for another core to perform the function and synchronizing with
+ that core via constructs that will not block the L-thread.
+
+* Affinitizing the thread to another scheduler devoted (as a matter of policy)
+ to handling threads wishing to make blocking calls, and then back again when
+ finished.
+
+
+.. _porting_locks_and_spinlocks:
+
+Locks and spinlocks
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Locks and spinlocks are another source of blocking behavior that for the same
+reasons as system calls will need to be addressed.
+
+If the application design ensures that the contending L-threads will always
+run on the same scheduler then it its probably safe to remove locks and spin
+locks completely.
+
+The only exception to the above rule is if for some reason the
+code performs any kind of context switch whilst holding the lock
+(e.g. yield, sleep, or block on a different lock, or on a condition variable).
+This will need to determined before deciding to eliminate a lock.
+
+If a lock cannot be eliminated then an L-thread mutex can be substituted for
+either kind of lock.
+
+An L-thread blocking on an L-thread mutex will be suspended and will cause
+another ready L-thread to be resumed, thus not blocking the scheduler. When
+default behavior is required, it can be used as a direct replacement for a
+pthread mutex lock.
+
+Spin locks are typically used when lock contention is likely to be rare and
+where the period during which the lock may be held is relatively short.
+When the contending L-threads are running on the same scheduler then an
+L-thread blocking on a spin lock will enter an infinite loop stopping the
+scheduler completely (see :ref:`porting_infinite_loops` below).
+
+If the application design ensures that contending L-threads will always run
+on different schedulers then it might be reasonable to leave a short spin lock
+that rarely experiences contention in place.
+
+If after all considerations it appears that a spin lock can neither be
+eliminated completely, replaced with an L-thread mutex, or left in place as
+is, then an alternative is to loop on a flag, with a call to
+``lthread_yield()`` inside the loop (n.b. if the contending L-threads might
+ever run on different schedulers the flag will need to be manipulated
+atomically).
+
+Spinning and yielding is the least preferred solution since it introduces
+ready queue backlog (see also :ref:`ready_queue_backlog`).
+
+
+.. _porting_sleeps_and_delays:
+
+Sleeps and delays
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Yet another kind of blocking behavior (albeit momentary) are delay functions
+like ``sleep()``, ``usleep()``, ``nanosleep()`` etc. All will have the
+consequence of stalling the L-thread scheduler and unless the delay is very
+short (e.g. a very short nanosleep) calls to these functions will need to be
+eliminated.
+
+The simplest mitigation strategy is to use the L-thread sleep API functions,
+of which two variants exist, ``lthread_sleep()`` and ``lthread_sleep_clks()``.
+These functions start an rte_timer against the L-thread, suspend the L-thread
+and cause another ready L-thread to be resumed. The suspended L-thread is
+resumed when the rte_timer matures.
+
+
+.. _porting_infinite_loops:
+
+Infinite loops
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Some applications have threads with loops that contain no inherent
+rescheduling opportunity, and rely solely on the OS time slicing to share
+the CPU. In a cooperative environment this will stop everything dead. These
+kind of loops are not hard to identify, in a debug session you will find the
+debugger is always stopping in the same loop.
+
+The simplest solution to this kind of problem is to insert an explicit
+``lthread_yield()`` or ``lthread_sleep()`` into the loop. Another solution
+might be to include the function performed by the loop into the execution path
+of some other loop that does in fact yield, if this is possible.
+
+
+.. _porting_thread_local_storage:
+
+Thread local storage
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If the application uses thread local storage, the use case should be
+studied carefully.
+
+In a legacy pthread application either or both the ``__thread`` prefix, or the
+pthread set/get specific APIs may have been used to define storage local to a
+pthread.
+
+In some applications it may be a reasonable assumption that the data could
+or in fact most likely should be placed in L-thread local storage.
+
+If the application (like many DPDK applications) has assumed a certain
+relationship between a pthread and the CPU to which it is affinitized, there
+is a risk that thread local storage may have been used to save some data items
+that are correctly logically associated with the CPU, and others items which
+relate to application context for the thread. Only a good understanding of the
+application will reveal such cases.
+
+If the application requires an that an L-thread is to be able to move between
+schedulers then care should be taken to separate these kinds of data, into per
+lcore, and per L-thread storage. In this way a migrating thread will bring with
+it the local data it needs, and pick up the new logical core specific values
+from pthread local storage at its new home.
+
+
+.. _pthread_shim:
+
+Pthread shim
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A convenient way to get something working with legacy code can be to use a
+shim that adapts pthread API calls to the corresponding L-thread ones.
+This approach will not mitigate any of the porting considerations mentioned
+in the previous sections, but it will reduce the amount of code churn that
+would otherwise been involved. It is a reasonable approach to evaluate
+L-threads, before investing effort in porting to the native L-thread APIs.
+
+
+Overview
+^^^^^^^^
+The L-thread subsystem includes an example pthread shim. This is a partial
+implementation but does contain the API stubs needed to get basic applications
+running. There is a simple "hello world" application that demonstrates the
+use of the pthread shim.
+
+A subtlety of working with a shim is that the application will still need
+to make use of the genuine pthread library functions, at the very least in
+order to create the EAL threads in which the L-thread schedulers will run.
+This is the case with DPDK initialization, and exit.
+
+To deal with the initialization and shutdown scenarios, the shim is capable of
+switching on or off its adaptor functionality, an application can control this
+behavior by the calling the function ``pt_override_set()``. The default state
+is disabled.
+
+The pthread shim uses the dynamic linker loader and saves the loaded addresses
+of the genuine pthread API functions in an internal table, when the shim
+functionality is enabled it performs the adaptor function, when disabled it
+invokes the genuine pthread function.
+
+The function ``pthread_exit()`` has additional special handling. The standard
+system header file pthread.h declares ``pthread_exit()`` with
+``__attribute__((noreturn))`` this is an optimization that is possible because
+the pthread is terminating and this enables the compiler to omit the normal
+handling of stack and protection of registers since the function is not
+expected to return, and in fact the thread is being destroyed. These
+optimizations are applied in both the callee and the caller of the
+``pthread_exit()`` function.
+
+In our cooperative scheduling environment this behavior is inadmissible. The
+pthread is the L-thread scheduler thread, and, although an L-thread is
+terminating, there must be a return to the scheduler in order that the system
+can continue to run. Further, returning from a function with attribute
+``noreturn`` is invalid and may result in undefined behavior.
+
+The solution is to redefine the ``pthread_exit`` function with a macro,
+causing it to be mapped to a stub function in the shim that does not have the
+``noreturn`` attribute. This macro is defined in the file
+``pthread_shim.h``. The stub function is otherwise no different than any of
+the other stub functions in the shim, and will switch between the real
+``pthread_exit()`` function or the ``lthread_exit()`` function as
+required. The only difference is that the mapping to the stub by macro
+substitution.
+
+A consequence of this is that the file ``pthread_shim.h`` must be included in
+legacy code wishing to make use of the shim. It also means that dynamic
+linkage of a pre-compiled binary that did not include pthread_shim.h is not be
+supported.
+
+Given the requirements for porting legacy code outlined in
+:ref:`porting_legacy_code_to_run_on_lthreads` most applications will require at
+least some minimal adjustment and recompilation to run on L-threads so
+pre-compiled binaries are unlikely to be met in practice.
+
+In summary the shim approach adds some overhead but can be a useful tool to help
+establish the feasibility of a code reuse project. It is also a fairly
+straightforward task to extend the shim if necessary.
+
+**Note:** Bearing in mind the preceding discussions about the impact of making
+blocking calls then switching the shim in and out on the fly to invoke any
+pthread API this might block is something that should typically be avoided.
+
+
+Building and running the pthread shim
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The shim example application is located in the sample application
+in the performance-thread folder
+
+To build and run the pthread shim example
+
+#. Go to the example applications folder
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/performance-thread/pthread_shim
+
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+ See the DPDK Getting Started Guide for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+#. To run the pthread_shim example
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ lthread-pthread-shim -c core_mask -n number_of_channels
+
+.. _lthread_diagnostics:
+
+L-thread Diagnostics
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When debugging you must take account of the fact that the L-threads are run in
+a single pthread. The current scheduler is defined by
+``RTE_PER_LCORE(this_sched)``, and the current lthread is stored at
+``RTE_PER_LCORE(this_sched)->current_lthread``. Thus on a breakpoint in a GDB
+session the current lthread can be obtained by displaying the pthread local
+variable ``per_lcore_this_sched->current_lthread``.
+
+Another useful diagnostic feature is the possibility to trace significant
+events in the life of an L-thread, this feature is enabled by changing the
+value of LTHREAD_DIAG from 0 to 1 in the file ``lthread_diag_api.h``.
+
+Tracing of events can be individually masked, and the mask may be programmed
+at run time. An unmasked event results in a callback that provides information
+about the event. The default callback simply prints trace information. The
+default mask is 0 (all events off) the mask can be modified by calling the
+function ``lthread_diagniostic_set_mask()``.
+
+It is possible register a user callback function to implement more
+sophisticated diagnostic functions.
+Object creation events (lthread, mutex, and condition variable) accept, and
+store in the created object, a user supplied reference value returned by the
+callback function.
+
+The lthread reference value is passed back in all subsequent event callbacks,
+the mutex and APIs are provided to retrieve the reference value from
+mutexes and condition variables. This enables a user to monitor, count, or
+filter for specific events, on specific objects, for example to monitor for a
+specific thread signaling a specific condition variable, or to monitor
+on all timer events, the possibilities and combinations are endless.
+
+The callback function can be set by calling the function
+``lthread_diagnostic_enable()`` supplying a callback function pointer and an
+event mask.
+
+Setting ``LTHREAD_DIAG`` also enables counting of statistics about cache and
+queue usage, and these statistics can be displayed by calling the function
+``lthread_diag_stats_display()``. This function also performs a consistency
+check on the caches and queues. The function should only be called from the
+master EAL thread after all slave threads have stopped and returned to the C
+main program, otherwise the consistency check will fail.

+
+PTP Client Sample Application
+=============================
+
+The PTP (Precision Time Protocol) client sample application is a simple
+example of using the DPDK IEEE1588 API to communicate with a PTP master clock
+to synchronize the time on the NIC and, optionally, on the Linux system.
+
+Note, PTP is a time syncing protocol and cannot be used within DPDK as a
+time-stamping mechanism. See the following for an explanation of the protocol:
+`Precision Time Protocol
+<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_Time_Protocol>`_.
+
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+The PTP sample application is intended as a simple reference implementation of
+a PTP client using the DPDK IEEE1588 API.
+In order to keep the application simple the following assumptions are made:
+
+* The first discovered master is the master for the session.
+* Only L2 PTP packets are supported.
+* Only the PTP v2 protocol is supported.
+* Only the slave clock is implemented.
+
+
+How the Application Works
+-------------------------
+
+.. _figure_ptpclient_highlevel:
+
+.. figure:: img/ptpclient.*
+
+ PTP Synchronization Protocol
+
+The PTP synchronization in the sample application works as follows:
+
+* Master sends *Sync* message - the slave saves it as T2.
+* Master sends *Follow Up* message and sends time of T1.
+* Slave sends *Delay Request* frame to PTP Master and stores T3.
+* Master sends *Delay Response* T4 time which is time of received T3.
+
+The adjustment for slave can be represented as:
+
+ adj = -[(T2-T1)-(T4 - T3)]/2
+
+If the command line parameter ``-T 1`` is used the application also
+synchronizes the PTP PHC clock with the Linux kernel clock.
+
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+To compile the application, export the path to the DPDK source tree and edit
+the ``config/common_linuxapp`` configuration file to enable IEEE1588:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+
+ # Edit common_linuxapp and set the following options:
+ CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IEEE1588=y
+
+Set the target, for example:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+See the *DPDK Getting Started* Guide for possible ``RTE_TARGET`` values.
+
+Build the application as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ # Recompile DPDK.
+ make install T=$RTE_TARGET
+
+ # Compile the application.
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/ptpclient
+ make
+
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+To run the example in a ``linuxapp`` environment:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/ptpclient -c 2 -n 4 -- -p 0x1 -T 0
+
+Refer to *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running
+applications and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
+
+* ``-p portmask``: Hexadecimal portmask.
+* ``-T 0``: Update only the PTP slave clock.
+* ``-T 1``: Update the PTP slave clock and synchronize the Linux Kernel to the PTP clock.
+
+
+Code Explanation
+----------------
+
+The following sections provide an explanation of the main components of the
+code.
+
+All DPDK library functions used in the sample code are prefixed with ``rte_``
+and are explained in detail in the *DPDK API Documentation*.
+
+
+The Main Function
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``main()`` function performs the initialization and calls the execution
+threads for each lcore.
+
+The first task is to initialize the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL). The
+``argc`` and ``argv`` arguments are provided to the ``rte_eal_init()``
+function. The value returned is the number of parsed arguments:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ int ret = rte_eal_init(argc, argv);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Error with EAL initialization\n");
+
+And than we parse application specific arguments
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ argc -= ret;
+ argv += ret;
+
+ ret = ptp_parse_args(argc, argv);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Error with PTP initialization\n");
+
+The ``main()`` also allocates a mempool to hold the mbufs (Message Buffers)
+used by the application:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ mbuf_pool = rte_mempool_create("MBUF_POOL",
+ NUM_MBUFS * nb_ports,
+ MBUF_SIZE,
+ MBUF_CACHE_SIZE,
+ sizeof(struct rte_pktmbuf_pool_private),
+ rte_pktmbuf_pool_init, NULL,
+ rte_pktmbuf_init, NULL,
+ rte_socket_id(),
+ 0);
+
+Mbufs are the packet buffer structure used by DPDK. They are explained in
+detail in the "Mbuf Library" section of the *DPDK Programmer's Guide*.
+
+The ``main()`` function also initializes all the ports using the user defined
+``port_init()`` function with portmask provided by user:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ for (portid = 0; portid < nb_ports; portid++)
+ if ((ptp_enabled_port_mask & (1 << portid)) != 0) {
+
+ if (port_init(portid, mbuf_pool) == 0) {
+ ptp_enabled_ports[ptp_enabled_port_nb] = portid;
+ ptp_enabled_port_nb++;
+ } else {
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Cannot init port %"PRIu8 "\n",
+ portid);
+ }
+ }
+
+
+Once the initialization is complete, the application is ready to launch a
+function on an lcore. In this example ``lcore_main()`` is called on a single
+lcore.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ lcore_main();
+
+The ``lcore_main()`` function is explained below.
+
+
+The Lcores Main
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+As we saw above the ``main()`` function calls an application function on the
+available lcores.
+
+The main work of the application is done within the loop:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ for (portid = 0; portid < ptp_enabled_port_nb; portid++) {
+
+ portid = ptp_enabled_ports[portid];
+ nb_rx = rte_eth_rx_burst(portid, 0, &m, 1);
+
+ if (likely(nb_rx == 0))
+ continue;
+
+ if (m->ol_flags & PKT_RX_IEEE1588_PTP)
+ parse_ptp_frames(portid, m);
+
+ rte_pktmbuf_free(m);
+ }
+
+Packets are received one by one on the RX ports and, if required, PTP response
+packets are transmitted on the TX ports.
+
+If the offload flags in the mbuf indicate that the packet is a PTP packet then
+the packet is parsed to determine which type:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ if (m->ol_flags & PKT_RX_IEEE1588_PTP)
+ parse_ptp_frames(portid, m);
+
+
+All packets are freed explicitly using ``rte_pktmbuf_free()``.
+
+The forwarding loop can be interrupted and the application closed using
+``Ctrl-C``.
+
+
+PTP parsing
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``parse_ptp_frames()`` function processes PTP packets, implementing slave
+PTP IEEE1588 L2 functionality.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ void
+ parse_ptp_frames(uint8_t portid, struct rte_mbuf *m) {
+ struct ptp_header *ptp_hdr;
+ struct ether_hdr *eth_hdr;
+ uint16_t eth_type;
+
+ eth_hdr = rte_pktmbuf_mtod(m, struct ether_hdr *);
+ eth_type = rte_be_to_cpu_16(eth_hdr->ether_type);
+
+ if (eth_type == PTP_PROTOCOL) {
+ ptp_data.m = m;
+ ptp_data.portid = portid;
+ ptp_hdr = (struct ptp_header *)(rte_pktmbuf_mtod(m, char *)
+ + sizeof(struct ether_hdr));
+
+ switch (ptp_hdr->msgtype) {
+ case SYNC:
+ parse_sync(&ptp_data);
+ break;
+ case FOLLOW_UP:
+ parse_fup(&ptp_data);
+ break;
+ case DELAY_RESP:
+ parse_drsp(&ptp_data);
+ print_clock_info(&ptp_data);
+ break;
+ default:
+ break;
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+There are 3 types of packets on the RX path which we must parse to create a minimal
+implementation of the PTP slave client:
+
+* SYNC packet.
+* FOLLOW UP packet
+* DELAY RESPONSE packet.
+
+When we parse the *FOLLOW UP* packet we also create and send a *DELAY_REQUEST* packet.
+Also when we parse the *DELAY RESPONSE* packet, and all conditions are met we adjust the PTP slave clock.

+QoS Metering Sample Application
+===============================
+
+The QoS meter sample application is an example that demonstrates the use of DPDK to provide QoS marking and metering,
+as defined by RFC2697 for Single Rate Three Color Marker (srTCM) and RFC 2698 for Two Rate Three Color Marker (trTCM) algorithm.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The application uses a single thread for reading the packets from the RX port,
+metering, marking them with the appropriate color (green, yellow or red) and writing them to the TX port.
+
+A policing scheme can be applied before writing the packets to the TX port by dropping or
+changing the color of the packet in a static manner depending on both the input and output colors of the packets that are processed by the meter.
+
+The operation mode can be selected as compile time out of the following options:
+
+* Simple forwarding
+
+* srTCM color blind
+
+* srTCM color aware
+
+* srTCM color blind
+
+* srTCM color aware
+
+Please refer to RFC2697 and RFC2698 for details about the srTCM and trTCM configurable parameters
+(CIR, CBS and EBS for srTCM; CIR, PIR, CBS and PBS for trTCM).
+
+The color blind modes are functionally equivalent with the color-aware modes when
+all the incoming packets are colored as green.
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+#. Go to the example directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/qos_meter
+
+#. Set the target
+ (a default target is used if not specified):
+
+ .. note::
+
+ This application is intended as a linuxapp only.
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+The application execution command line is as below:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./qos_meter [EAL options] -- -p PORTMASK
+
+The application is constrained to use a single core in the EAL core mask and 2 ports only in the application port mask
+(first port from the port mask is used for RX and the other port in the core mask is used for TX).
+
+Refer to *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running applications and
+the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+Selecting one of the metering modes is done with these defines:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ #define APP_MODE_FWD 0
+ #define APP_MODE_SRTCM_COLOR_BLIND 1
+ #define APP_MODE_SRTCM_COLOR_AWARE 2
+ #define APP_MODE_TRTCM_COLOR_BLIND 3
+ #define APP_MODE_TRTCM_COLOR_AWARE 4
+
+ #define APP_MODE APP_MODE_SRTCM_COLOR_BLIND
+
+To simplify debugging (for example, by using the traffic generator RX side MAC address based packet filtering feature),
+the color is defined as the LSB byte of the destination MAC address.
+
+The traffic meter parameters are configured in the application source code with following default values:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct rte_meter_srtcm_params app_srtcm_params[] = {
+
+ {.cir = 1000000 * 46, .cbs = 2048, .ebs = 2048},
+
+ };
+
+ struct rte_meter_trtcm_params app_trtcm_params[] = {
+
+ {.cir = 1000000 * 46, .pir = 1500000 * 46, .cbs = 2048, .pbs = 2048},
+
+ };
+
+Assuming the input traffic is generated at line rate and all packets are 64 bytes Ethernet frames (IPv4 packet size of 46 bytes)
+and green, the expected output traffic should be marked as shown in the following table:
+
+.. _table_qos_metering_1:
+
+.. table:: Output Traffic Marking
+
+ +-------------+------------------+-------------------+----------------+
+ | **Mode** | **Green (Mpps)** | **Yellow (Mpps)** | **Red (Mpps)** |
+ | | | | |
+ +=============+==================+===================+================+
+ | srTCM blind | 1 | 1 | 12.88 |
+ | | | | |
+ +-------------+------------------+-------------------+----------------+
+ | srTCM color | 1 | 1 | 12.88 |
+ | | | | |
+ +-------------+------------------+-------------------+----------------+
+ | trTCM blind | 1 | 0.5 | 13.38 |
+ | | | | |
+ +-------------+------------------+-------------------+----------------+
+ | trTCM color | 1 | 0.5 | 13.38 |
+ | | | | |
+ +-------------+------------------+-------------------+----------------+
+ | FWD | 14.88 | 0 | 0 |
+ | | | | |
+ +-------------+------------------+-------------------+----------------+
+
+To set up the policing scheme as desired, it is necessary to modify the main.h source file,
+where this policy is implemented as a static structure, as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ int policer_table[e_RTE_METER_COLORS][e_RTE_METER_COLORS] =
+ {
+ { GREEN, RED, RED},
+ { DROP, YELLOW, RED},
+ { DROP, DROP, RED}
+ };
+
+Where rows indicate the input color, columns indicate the output color,
+and the value that is stored in the table indicates the action to be taken for that particular case.
+
+There are four different actions:
+
+* GREEN: The packet's color is changed to green.
+
+* YELLOW: The packet's color is changed to yellow.
+
+* RED: The packet's color is changed to red.
+
+* DROP: The packet is dropped.
+
+In this particular case:
+
+* Every packet which input and output color are the same, keeps the same color.
+
+* Every packet which color has improved is dropped (this particular case can't happen, so these values will not be used).
+
+* For the rest of the cases, the color is changed to red.

+QoS Scheduler Sample Application
+================================
+
+The QoS sample application demonstrates the use of the DPDK to provide QoS scheduling.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The architecture of the QoS scheduler application is shown in the following figure.
+
+.. _figure_qos_sched_app_arch:
+
+.. figure:: img/qos_sched_app_arch.*
+
+ QoS Scheduler Application Architecture
+
+
+There are two flavors of the runtime execution for this application,
+with two or three threads per each packet flow configuration being used.
+The RX thread reads packets from the RX port,
+classifies the packets based on the double VLAN (outer and inner) and
+the lower two bytes of the IP destination address and puts them into the ring queue.
+The worker thread dequeues the packets from the ring and calls the QoS scheduler enqueue/dequeue functions.
+If a separate TX core is used, these are sent to the TX ring.
+Otherwise, they are sent directly to the TX port.
+The TX thread, if present, reads from the TX ring and write the packets to the TX port.
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+To compile the application:
+
+#. Go to the sample application directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/qos_sched
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. note::
+
+ This application is intended as a linuxapp only.
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+.. note::
+
+ To get statistics on the sample app using the command line interface as described in the next section,
+ DPDK must be compiled defining *CONFIG_RTE_SCHED_COLLECT_STATS*,
+ which can be done by changing the configuration file for the specific target to be compiled.
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+.. note::
+
+ In order to run the application, a total of at least 4
+ G of huge pages must be set up for each of the used sockets (depending on the cores in use).
+
+The application has a number of command line options:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./qos_sched [EAL options] -- <APP PARAMS>
+
+Mandatory application parameters include:
+
+* --pfc "RX PORT, TX PORT, RX LCORE, WT LCORE, TX CORE": Packet flow configuration.
+ Multiple pfc entities can be configured in the command line,
+ having 4 or 5 items (if TX core defined or not).
+
+Optional application parameters include:
+
+* -i: It makes the application to start in the interactive mode.
+ In this mode, the application shows a command line that can be used for obtaining statistics while
+ scheduling is taking place (see interactive mode below for more information).
+
+* --mst n: Master core index (the default value is 1).
+
+* --rsz "A, B, C": Ring sizes:
+
+* A = Size (in number of buffer descriptors) of each of the NIC RX rings read
+ by the I/O RX lcores (the default value is 128).
+
+* B = Size (in number of elements) of each of the software rings used
+ by the I/O RX lcores to send packets to worker lcores (the default value is 8192).
+
+* C = Size (in number of buffer descriptors) of each of the NIC TX rings written
+ by worker lcores (the default value is 256)
+
+* --bsz "A, B, C, D": Burst sizes
+
+* A = I/O RX lcore read burst size from the NIC RX (the default value is 64)
+
+* B = I/O RX lcore write burst size to the output software rings,
+ worker lcore read burst size from input software rings,QoS enqueue size (the default value is 64)
+
+* C = QoS dequeue size (the default value is 32)
+
+* D = Worker lcore write burst size to the NIC TX (the default value is 64)
+
+* --msz M: Mempool size (in number of mbufs) for each pfc (default 2097152)
+
+* --rth "A, B, C": The RX queue threshold parameters
+
+* A = RX prefetch threshold (the default value is 8)
+
+* B = RX host threshold (the default value is 8)
+
+* C = RX write-back threshold (the default value is 4)
+
+* --tth "A, B, C": TX queue threshold parameters
+
+* A = TX prefetch threshold (the default value is 36)
+

+Interactive mode
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+These are the commands that are currently working under the command line interface:
+
+* Control Commands
+
+* --quit: Quits the application.
+
+* General Statistics
+
+ * stats app: Shows a table with in-app calculated statistics.
+
+ * stats port X subport Y: For a specific subport, it shows the number of packets that
+ went through the scheduler properly and the number of packets that were dropped.
+ The same information is shown in bytes.
+ The information is displayed in a table separating it in different traffic classes.
+
+ * stats port X subport Y pipe Z: For a specific pipe, it shows the number of packets that
+ went through the scheduler properly and the number of packets that were dropped.
+ The same information is shown in bytes.
+ This information is displayed in a table separating it in individual queues.
+
+* Average queue size
+
+All of these commands work the same way, averaging the number of packets throughout a specific subset of queues.
+
+Two parameters can be configured for this prior to calling any of these commands:
+
+ * qavg n X: n is the number of times that the calculation will take place.
+ Bigger numbers provide higher accuracy. The default value is 10.
+
+ * qavg period X: period is the number of microseconds that will be allowed between each calculation.
+ The default value is 100.
+
+The commands that can be used for measuring average queue size are:
+
+* qavg port X subport Y: Show average queue size per subport.
+
+* qavg port X subport Y tc Z: Show average queue size per subport for a specific traffic class.
+
+* qavg port X subport Y pipe Z: Show average queue size per pipe.
+
+* qavg port X subport Y pipe Z tc A: Show average queue size per pipe for a specific traffic class.
+
+* qavg port X subport Y pipe Z tc A q B: Show average queue size of a specific queue.
+
+Example
+~~~~~~~
+
+The following is an example command with a single packet flow configuration:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./qos_sched -c a2 -n 4 -- --pfc "3,2,5,7" --cfg ./profile.cfg
+
+This example uses a single packet flow configuration which creates one RX thread on lcore 5 reading
+from port 3 and a worker thread on lcore 7 writing to port 2.
+
+Another example with 2 packet flow configurations using different ports but sharing the same core for QoS scheduler is given below:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./qos_sched -c c6 -n 4 -- --pfc "3,2,2,6,7" --pfc "1,0,2,6,7" --cfg ./profile.cfg
+
+Note that independent cores for the packet flow configurations for each of the RX, WT and TX thread are also supported,
+providing flexibility to balance the work.
+
+The EAL coremask is constrained to contain the default mastercore 1 and the RX, WT and TX cores only.
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The Port/Subport/Pipe/Traffic Class/Queue are the hierarchical entities in a typical QoS application:
+
+* A subport represents a predefined group of users.
+
+* A pipe represents an individual user/subscriber.
+
+* A traffic class is the representation of a different traffic type with a specific loss rate,
+ delay and jitter requirements; such as data voice, video or data transfers.
+
+* A queue hosts packets from one or multiple connections of the same type belonging to the same user.
+
+The traffic flows that need to be configured are application dependent.
+This application classifies based on the QinQ double VLAN tags and the IP destination address as indicated in the following table.
+
+.. _table_qos_scheduler_1:
+
+.. table:: Entity Types
+
+ +----------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+----------------------------------+
+ | **Level Name** | **Siblings per Parent** | **QoS Functional Description** | **Selected By** |

+ | Pipe | Config (4k) | Traffic shaped (token bucket) | Inner VLAN tag |
+ | | | | |
+ +----------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+----------------------------------+

+
+Quota and Watermark Sample Application
+======================================
+
+The Quota and Watermark sample application is a simple example of packet processing using Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) that
+showcases the use of a quota as the maximum number of packets enqueue/dequeue at a time and low and high watermarks
+to signal low and high ring usage respectively.
+
+Additionally, it shows how ring watermarks can be used to feedback congestion notifications to data producers by
+temporarily stopping processing overloaded rings and sending Ethernet flow control frames.
+
+This sample application is split in two parts:
+
+* qw - The core quota and watermark sample application
+
+* qwctl - A command line tool to alter quota and watermarks while qw is running
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The Quota and Watermark sample application performs forwarding for each packet that is received on a given port.
+The destination port is the adjacent port from the enabled port mask, that is,
+if the first four ports are enabled (port mask 0xf), ports 0 and 1 forward into each other,
+and ports 2 and 3 forward into each other.
+The MAC addresses of the forwarded Ethernet frames are not affected.
+
+Internally, packets are pulled from the ports by the master logical core and put on a variable length processing pipeline,
+each stage of which being connected by rings, as shown in :numref:`figure_pipeline_overview`.
+
+.. _figure_pipeline_overview:
+
+.. figure:: img/pipeline_overview.*
+
+ Pipeline Overview
+
+
+An adjustable quota value controls how many packets are being moved through the pipeline per enqueue and dequeue.
+Adjustable watermark values associated with the rings control a back-off mechanism that
+tries to prevent the pipeline from being overloaded by:
+
+* Stopping enqueuing on rings for which the usage has crossed the high watermark threshold
+
+* Sending Ethernet pause frames
+
+* Only resuming enqueuing on a ring once its usage goes below a global low watermark threshold
+
+This mechanism allows congestion notifications to go up the ring pipeline and
+eventually lead to an Ethernet flow control frame being send to the source.
+
+On top of serving as an example of quota and watermark usage,
+this application can be used to benchmark ring based processing pipelines performance using a traffic- generator,
+as shown in :numref:`figure_ring_pipeline_perf_setup`.
+
+.. _figure_ring_pipeline_perf_setup:
+
+.. figure:: img/ring_pipeline_perf_setup.*
+
+ Ring-based Processing Pipeline Performance Setup
+
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+#. Go to the example directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/quota_watermark
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+ See the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+The core application, qw, has to be started first.
+
+Once it is up and running, one can alter quota and watermarks while it runs using the control application, qwctl.
+
+Running the Core Application
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The application requires a single command line option:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./qw/build/qw [EAL options] -- -p PORTMASK
+
+where,
+
+-p PORTMASK: A hexadecimal bitmask of the ports to configure
+
+To run the application in a linuxapp environment with four logical cores and ports 0 and 2,
+issue the following command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./qw/build/qw -c f -n 4 -- -p 5
+
+Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running applications and
+the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
+
+Running the Control Application
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The control application requires a number of command line options:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./qwctl/build/qwctl [EAL options] --proc-type=secondary
+
+The --proc-type=secondary option is necessary for the EAL to properly initialize the control application to
+use the same huge pages as the core application and thus be able to access its rings.
+
+To run the application in a linuxapp environment on logical core 0, issue the following command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./qwctl/build/qwctl -c 1 -n 4 --proc-type=secondary
+
+Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started* Guide for general information on running applications and
+the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
+
+qwctl is an interactive command line that let the user change variables in a running instance of qw.
+The help command gives a list of available commands:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ qwctl > help
+
+Code Overview
+-------------
+
+The following sections provide a quick guide to the application's source code.
+
+Core Application - qw
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+EAL and Drivers Setup
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The EAL arguments are parsed at the beginning of the main() function:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ ret = rte_eal_init(argc, argv);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Cannot initialize EAL\n");
+
+ argc -= ret;
+ argv += ret;
+
+Then, a call to init_dpdk(), defined in init.c, is made to initialize the poll mode drivers:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ void
+ init_dpdk(void)
+ {
+ int ret;
+
+ /* Bind the drivers to usable devices */
+
+ ret = rte_eal_pci_probe();
+ if (ret < 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "rte_eal_pci_probe(): error %d\n", ret);
+
+ if (rte_eth_dev_count() < 2)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Not enough Ethernet port available\n");
+ }
+
+To fully understand this code, it is recommended to study the chapters that relate to the *Poll Mode Driver*
+in the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* and the *DPDK API Reference*.
+
+Shared Variables Setup
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The quota and low_watermark shared variables are put into an rte_memzone using a call to setup_shared_variables():
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ void
+ setup_shared_variables(void)
+ {
+ const struct rte_memzone *qw_memzone;
+
+ qw_memzone = rte_memzone_reserve(QUOTA_WATERMARK_MEMZONE_NAME, 2 * sizeof(int), rte_socket_id(), RTE_MEMZONE_2MB);
+
+ if (qw_memzone == NULL)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "%s\n", rte_strerror(rte_errno));
+
+ quota = qw_memzone->addr;
+ low_watermark = (unsigned int *) qw_memzone->addr + sizeof(int);
+ }
+
+These two variables are initialized to a default value in main() and
+can be changed while qw is running using the qwctl control program.
+
+Application Arguments
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The qw application only takes one argument: a port mask that specifies which ports should be used by the application.
+At least two ports are needed to run the application and there should be an even number of ports given in the port mask.
+
+The port mask parsing is done in parse_qw_args(), defined in args.c.
+
+Mbuf Pool Initialization
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Once the application's arguments are parsed, an mbuf pool is created.
+It contains a set of mbuf objects that are used by the driver and the application to store network packets:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* Create a pool of mbuf to store packets */
+
+ mbuf_pool = rte_mempool_create("mbuf_pool", MBUF_PER_POOL, MBUF_SIZE, 32, sizeof(struct rte_pktmbuf_pool_private),
+ rte_pktmbuf_pool_init, NULL, rte_pktmbuf_init, NULL, rte_socket_id(), 0);
+
+ if (mbuf_pool == NULL)
+ rte_panic("%s\n", rte_strerror(rte_errno));
+
+The rte_mempool is a generic structure used to handle pools of objects.
+In this case, it is necessary to create a pool that will be used by the driver,
+which expects to have some reserved space in the mempool structure, sizeof(struct rte_pktmbuf_pool_private) bytes.
+
+The number of allocated pkt mbufs is MBUF_PER_POOL, with a size of MBUF_SIZE each.
+A per-lcore cache of 32 mbufs is kept.
+The memory is allocated in on the master lcore's socket, but it is possible to extend this code to allocate one mbuf pool per socket.
+
+Two callback pointers are also given to the rte_mempool_create() function:
+
+* The first callback pointer is to rte_pktmbuf_pool_init() and is used to initialize the private data of the mempool,
+ which is needed by the driver.
+ This function is provided by the mbuf API, but can be copied and extended by the developer.
+
+* The second callback pointer given to rte_mempool_create() is the mbuf initializer.
+
+The default is used, that is, rte_pktmbuf_init(), which is provided in the rte_mbuf library.
+If a more complex application wants to extend the rte_pktmbuf structure for its own needs,
+a new function derived from rte_pktmbuf_init() can be created.
+
+Ports Configuration and Pairing
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Each port in the port mask is configured and a corresponding ring is created in the master lcore's array of rings.
+This ring is the first in the pipeline and will hold the packets directly coming from the port.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ for (port_id = 0; port_id < RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS; port_id++)
+ if (is_bit_set(port_id, portmask)) {
+ configure_eth_port(port_id);
+ init_ring(master_lcore_id, port_id);
+ }
+
+ pair_ports();
+
+The configure_eth_port() and init_ring() functions are used to configure a port and a ring respectively and are defined in init.c.
+They make use of the DPDK APIs defined in rte_eth.h and rte_ring.h.
+
+pair_ports() builds the port_pairs[] array so that its key-value pairs are a mapping between reception and transmission ports.
+It is defined in init.c.
+
+Logical Cores Assignment
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The application uses the master logical core to poll all the ports for new packets and enqueue them on a ring associated with the port.
+
+Each logical core except the last runs pipeline_stage() after a ring for each used port is initialized on that core.
+pipeline_stage() on core X dequeues packets from core X-1's rings and enqueue them on its own rings. See :numref:`figure_threads_pipelines`.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* Start pipeline_stage() on all the available slave lcore but the last */
+
+ for (lcore_id = 0 ; lcore_id < last_lcore_id; lcore_id++) {
+ if (rte_lcore_is_enabled(lcore_id) && lcore_id != master_lcore_id) {
+ for (port_id = 0; port_id < RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS; port_id++)
+ if (is_bit_set(port_id, portmask))
+ init_ring(lcore_id, port_id);
+
+ rte_eal_remote_launch(pipeline_stage, NULL, lcore_id);
+ }
+ }
+
+The last available logical core runs send_stage(),
+which is the last stage of the pipeline dequeuing packets from the last ring in the pipeline and
+sending them out on the destination port setup by pair_ports().
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* Start send_stage() on the last slave core */
+
+ rte_eal_remote_launch(send_stage, NULL, last_lcore_id);
+
+Receive, Process and Transmit Packets
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. _figure_threads_pipelines:
+
+.. figure:: img/threads_pipelines.*
+
+ Threads and Pipelines
+
+
+In the receive_stage() function running on the master logical core,
+the main task is to read ingress packets from the RX ports and enqueue them
+on the port's corresponding first ring in the pipeline.
+This is done using the following code:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ lcore_id = rte_lcore_id();
+
+ /* Process each port round robin style */
+
+ for (port_id = 0; port_id < RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS; port_id++) {
+ if (!is_bit_set(port_id, portmask))
+ continue;
+
+ ring = rings[lcore_id][port_id];
+
+ if (ring_state[port_id] != RING_READY) {
+ if (rte_ring_count(ring) > *low_watermark)
+ continue;
+ else
+ ring_state[port_id] = RING_READY;
+ }
+
+ /* Enqueue received packets on the RX ring */
+
+ nb_rx_pkts = rte_eth_rx_burst(port_id, 0, pkts, *quota);
+
+ ret = rte_ring_enqueue_bulk(ring, (void *) pkts, nb_rx_pkts);
+ if (ret == -EDQUOT) {
+ ring_state[port_id] = RING_OVERLOADED;
+ send_pause_frame(port_id, 1337);
+ }
+ }
+
+For each port in the port mask, the corresponding ring's pointer is fetched into ring and that ring's state is checked:
+
+* If it is in the RING_READY state, \*quota packets are grabbed from the port and put on the ring.
+ Should this operation make the ring's usage cross its high watermark,
+ the ring is marked as overloaded and an Ethernet flow control frame is sent to the source.
+
+* If it is not in the RING_READY state, this port is ignored until the ring's usage crosses the \*low_watermark value.
+
+The pipeline_stage() function's task is to process and move packets from the preceding pipeline stage.
+This thread is running on most of the logical cores to create and arbitrarily long pipeline.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ lcore_id = rte_lcore_id();
+
+ previous_lcore_id = get_previous_lcore_id(lcore_id);
+
+ for (port_id = 0; port_id < RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS; port_id++) {
+ if (!is_bit_set(port_id, portmask))
+ continue;
+
+ tx = rings[lcore_id][port_id];
+ rx = rings[previous_lcore_id][port_id];
+ if (ring_state[port_id] != RING_READY) {
+ if (rte_ring_count(tx) > *low_watermark)
+ continue;
+ else
+ ring_state[port_id] = RING_READY;
+ }
+
+ /* Dequeue up to quota mbuf from rx */
+
+ nb_dq_pkts = rte_ring_dequeue_burst(rx, pkts, *quota);
+
+ if (unlikely(nb_dq_pkts < 0))
+ continue;
+
+ /* Enqueue them on tx */
+
+ ret = rte_ring_enqueue_bulk(tx, pkts, nb_dq_pkts);
+ if (ret == -EDQUOT)
+ ring_state[port_id] = RING_OVERLOADED;
+ }
+
+The thread's logic works mostly like receive_stage(),
+except that packets are moved from ring to ring instead of port to ring.
+
+In this example, no actual processing is done on the packets,
+but pipeline_stage() is an ideal place to perform any processing required by the application.
+
+Finally, the send_stage() function's task is to read packets from the last ring in a pipeline and
+send them on the destination port defined in the port_pairs[] array.
+It is running on the last available logical core only.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ lcore_id = rte_lcore_id();
+
+ previous_lcore_id = get_previous_lcore_id(lcore_id);
+
+ for (port_id = 0; port_id < RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS; port_id++) {
+ if (!is_bit_set(port_id, portmask)) continue;
+
+ dest_port_id = port_pairs[port_id];
+ tx = rings[previous_lcore_id][port_id];
+
+ if (rte_ring_empty(tx)) continue;
+
+ /* Dequeue packets from tx and send them */
+
+ nb_dq_pkts = rte_ring_dequeue_burst(tx, (void *) tx_pkts, *quota);
+ nb_tx_pkts = rte_eth_tx_burst(dest_port_id, 0, tx_pkts, nb_dq_pkts);
+ }
+
+For each port in the port mask, up to \*quota packets are pulled from the last ring in its pipeline and
+sent on the destination port paired with the current port.
+
+Control Application - qwctl
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The qwctl application uses the rte_cmdline library to provide the user with an interactive command line that
+can be used to modify and inspect parameters in a running qw application.
+Those parameters are the global quota and low_watermark value as well as each ring's built-in high watermark.
+
+Command Definitions
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The available commands are defined in commands.c.
+
+It is advised to use the cmdline sample application user guide as a reference for everything related to the rte_cmdline library.
+
+Accessing Shared Variables
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The setup_shared_variables() function retrieves the shared variables quota and
+low_watermark from the rte_memzone previously created by qw.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static void
+ setup_shared_variables(void)
+ {
+ const struct rte_memzone *qw_memzone;
+
+ qw_memzone = rte_memzone_lookup(QUOTA_WATERMARK_MEMZONE_NAME);
+ if (qw_memzone == NULL)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Couldn't find memzone\n");
+
+ quota = qw_memzone->addr;
+
+ low_watermark = (unsigned int *) qw_memzone->addr + sizeof(int);
+ }

+RX/TX Callbacks Sample Application
+==================================
+
+The RX/TX Callbacks sample application is a packet forwarding application that
+demonstrates the use of user defined callbacks on received and transmitted
+packets. The application performs a simple latency check, using callbacks, to
+determine the time packets spend within the application.
+
+In the sample application a user defined callback is applied to all received
+packets to add a timestamp. A separate callback is applied to all packets
+prior to transmission to calculate the elapsed time, in CPU cycles.
+
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+To compile the application export the path to the DPDK source tree and go to
+the example directory:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/rxtx_callbacks
+
+
+Set the target, for example:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+See the *DPDK Getting Started* Guide for possible ``RTE_TARGET`` values.
+
+The callbacks feature requires that the ``CONFIG_RTE_ETHDEV_RXTX_CALLBACKS``
+setting is on in the ``config/common_`` config file that applies to the
+target. This is generally on by default:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ CONFIG_RTE_ETHDEV_RXTX_CALLBACKS=y
+
+Build the application as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+To run the example in a ``linuxapp`` environment:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/rxtx_callbacks -c 2 -n 4
+
+Refer to *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running
+applications and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
+
+
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The ``rxtx_callbacks`` application is mainly a simple forwarding application
+based on the :doc:`skeleton`. See that section of the documentation for more
+details of the forwarding part of the application.
+
+The sections below explain the additional RX/TX callback code.
+
+
+The Main Function
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``main()`` function performs the application initialization and calls the
+execution threads for each lcore. This function is effectively identical to
+the ``main()`` function explained in :doc:`skeleton`.
+
+The ``lcore_main()`` function is also identical.
+
+The main difference is in the user defined ``port_init()`` function where the
+callbacks are added. This is explained in the next section:
+
+
+The Port Initialization Function
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The main functional part of the port initialization is shown below with
+comments:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static inline int
+ port_init(uint8_t port, struct rte_mempool *mbuf_pool)
+ {
+ struct rte_eth_conf port_conf = port_conf_default;
+ const uint16_t rx_rings = 1, tx_rings = 1;
+ struct ether_addr addr;
+ int retval;
+ uint16_t q;
+
+ if (port >= rte_eth_dev_count())
+ return -1;
+
+ /* Configure the Ethernet device. */
+ retval = rte_eth_dev_configure(port, rx_rings, tx_rings, &port_conf);
+ if (retval != 0)
+ return retval;
+
+ /* Allocate and set up 1 RX queue per Ethernet port. */
+ for (q = 0; q < rx_rings; q++) {
+ retval = rte_eth_rx_queue_setup(port, q, RX_RING_SIZE,
+ rte_eth_dev_socket_id(port), NULL, mbuf_pool);
+ if (retval < 0)
+ return retval;
+ }
+
+ /* Allocate and set up 1 TX queue per Ethernet port. */
+ for (q = 0; q < tx_rings; q++) {
+ retval = rte_eth_tx_queue_setup(port, q, TX_RING_SIZE,
+ rte_eth_dev_socket_id(port), NULL);
+ if (retval < 0)
+ return retval;
+ }
+
+ /* Start the Ethernet port. */
+ retval = rte_eth_dev_start(port);
+ if (retval < 0)
+ return retval;
+
+ /* Enable RX in promiscuous mode for the Ethernet device. */
+ rte_eth_promiscuous_enable(port);
+
+
+ /* Add the callbacks for RX and TX.*/
+ rte_eth_add_rx_callback(port, 0, add_timestamps, NULL);
+ rte_eth_add_tx_callback(port, 0, calc_latency, NULL);
+
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+
+The RX and TX callbacks are added to the ports/queues as function pointers:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ rte_eth_add_rx_callback(port, 0, add_timestamps, NULL);
+ rte_eth_add_tx_callback(port, 0, calc_latency, NULL);
+
+More than one callback can be added and additional information can be passed
+to callback function pointers as a ``void*``. In the examples above ``NULL``
+is used.
+
+The ``add_timestamps()`` and ``calc_latency()`` functions are explained below.
+
+
+The add_timestamps() Callback
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``add_timestamps()`` callback is added to the RX port and is applied to
+all packets received:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static uint16_t
+ add_timestamps(uint8_t port __rte_unused, uint16_t qidx __rte_unused,
+ struct rte_mbuf **pkts, uint16_t nb_pkts, void *_ __rte_unused)
+ {
+ unsigned i;
+ uint64_t now = rte_rdtsc();
+
+ for (i = 0; i < nb_pkts; i++)
+ pkts[i]->udata64 = now;
+
+ return nb_pkts;
+ }
+
+The DPDK function ``rte_rdtsc()`` is used to add a cycle count timestamp to
+each packet (see the *cycles* section of the *DPDK API Documentation* for
+details).
+
+
+The calc_latency() Callback
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``calc_latency()`` callback is added to the TX port and is applied to all
+packets prior to transmission:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static uint16_t
+ calc_latency(uint8_t port __rte_unused, uint16_t qidx __rte_unused,
+ struct rte_mbuf **pkts, uint16_t nb_pkts, void *_ __rte_unused)
+ {
+ uint64_t cycles = 0;
+ uint64_t now = rte_rdtsc();
+ unsigned i;
+
+ for (i = 0; i < nb_pkts; i++)
+ cycles += now - pkts[i]->udata64;
+
+ latency_numbers.total_cycles += cycles;
+ latency_numbers.total_pkts += nb_pkts;
+
+ if (latency_numbers.total_pkts > (100 * 1000 * 1000ULL)) {
+ printf("Latency = %"PRIu64" cycles\n",
+ latency_numbers.total_cycles / latency_numbers.total_pkts);
+
+ latency_numbers.total_cycles = latency_numbers.total_pkts = 0;
+ }
+
+ return nb_pkts;
+ }
+
+The ``calc_latency()`` function accumulates the total number of packets and
+the total number of cycles used. Once more than 100 million packets have been
+transmitted the average cycle count per packet is printed out and the counters
+are reset.

+
+Basic Forwarding Sample Application
+===================================
+
+The Basic Forwarding sample application is a simple *skeleton* example of a
+forwarding application.
+
+It is intended as a demonstration of the basic components of a DPDK forwarding
+application. For more detailed implementations see the L2 and L3 forwarding
+sample applications.
+
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+To compile the application export the path to the DPDK source tree and go to
+the example directory:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/skeleton
+
+Set the target, for example:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+See the *DPDK Getting Started* Guide for possible ``RTE_TARGET`` values.
+
+Build the application as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+To run the example in a ``linuxapp`` environment:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/basicfwd -c 2 -n 4
+
+Refer to *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running
+applications and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
+
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The following sections provide an explanation of the main components of the
+code.
+
+All DPDK library functions used in the sample code are prefixed with ``rte_``
+and are explained in detail in the *DPDK API Documentation*.
+
+
+The Main Function
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``main()`` function performs the initialization and calls the execution
+threads for each lcore.
+
+The first task is to initialize the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL). The
+``argc`` and ``argv`` arguments are provided to the ``rte_eal_init()``
+function. The value returned is the number of parsed arguments:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ int ret = rte_eal_init(argc, argv);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Error with EAL initialization\n");
+
+
+The ``main()`` also allocates a mempool to hold the mbufs (Message Buffers)
+used by the application:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ mbuf_pool = rte_mempool_create("MBUF_POOL",
+ NUM_MBUFS * nb_ports,
+ MBUF_SIZE,
+ MBUF_CACHE_SIZE,
+ sizeof(struct rte_pktmbuf_pool_private),
+ rte_pktmbuf_pool_init, NULL,
+ rte_pktmbuf_init, NULL,
+ rte_socket_id(),
+ 0);
+
+Mbufs are the packet buffer structure used by DPDK. They are explained in
+detail in the "Mbuf Library" section of the *DPDK Programmer's Guide*.
+
+The ``main()`` function also initializes all the ports using the user defined
+``port_init()`` function which is explained in the next section:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ for (portid = 0; portid < nb_ports; portid++) {
+ if (port_init(portid, mbuf_pool) != 0) {
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE,
+ "Cannot init port %" PRIu8 "\n", portid);
+ }
+ }
+
+
+Once the initialization is complete, the application is ready to launch a
+function on an lcore. In this example ``lcore_main()`` is called on a single
+lcore.
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ lcore_main();
+
+The ``lcore_main()`` function is explained below.
+
+
+
+The Port Initialization Function
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The main functional part of the port initialization used in the Basic
+Forwarding application is shown below:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static inline int
+ port_init(uint8_t port, struct rte_mempool *mbuf_pool)
+ {
+ struct rte_eth_conf port_conf = port_conf_default;
+ const uint16_t rx_rings = 1, tx_rings = 1;
+ struct ether_addr addr;
+ int retval;
+ uint16_t q;
+
+ if (port >= rte_eth_dev_count())
+ return -1;
+
+ /* Configure the Ethernet device. */
+ retval = rte_eth_dev_configure(port, rx_rings, tx_rings, &port_conf);
+ if (retval != 0)
+ return retval;
+
+ /* Allocate and set up 1 RX queue per Ethernet port. */
+ for (q = 0; q < rx_rings; q++) {
+ retval = rte_eth_rx_queue_setup(port, q, RX_RING_SIZE,
+ rte_eth_dev_socket_id(port), NULL, mbuf_pool);
+ if (retval < 0)
+ return retval;
+ }
+
+ /* Allocate and set up 1 TX queue per Ethernet port. */
+ for (q = 0; q < tx_rings; q++) {
+ retval = rte_eth_tx_queue_setup(port, q, TX_RING_SIZE,
+ rte_eth_dev_socket_id(port), NULL);
+ if (retval < 0)
+ return retval;
+ }
+
+ /* Start the Ethernet port. */
+ retval = rte_eth_dev_start(port);
+ if (retval < 0)
+ return retval;
+
+ /* Enable RX in promiscuous mode for the Ethernet device. */
+ rte_eth_promiscuous_enable(port);
+
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+The Ethernet ports are configured with default settings using the
+``rte_eth_dev_configure()`` function and the ``port_conf_default`` struct:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static const struct rte_eth_conf port_conf_default = {
+ .rxmode = { .max_rx_pkt_len = ETHER_MAX_LEN }
+ };
+
+For this example the ports are set up with 1 RX and 1 TX queue using the
+``rte_eth_rx_queue_setup()`` and ``rte_eth_tx_queue_setup()`` functions.
+
+The Ethernet port is then started:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ retval = rte_eth_dev_start(port);
+
+
+Finally the RX port is set in promiscuous mode:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ rte_eth_promiscuous_enable(port);
+
+
+The Lcores Main
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+As we saw above the ``main()`` function calls an application function on the
+available lcores. For the Basic Forwarding application the lcore function
+looks like the following:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static __attribute__((noreturn)) void
+ lcore_main(void)
+ {
+ const uint8_t nb_ports = rte_eth_dev_count();
+ uint8_t port;
+
+ /*
+ * Check that the port is on the same NUMA node as the polling thread
+ * for best performance.
+ */
+ for (port = 0; port < nb_ports; port++)
+ if (rte_eth_dev_socket_id(port) > 0 &&
+ rte_eth_dev_socket_id(port) !=
+ (int)rte_socket_id())
+ printf("WARNING, port %u is on remote NUMA node to "
+ "polling thread.\n\tPerformance will "
+ "not be optimal.\n", port);
+
+ printf("\nCore %u forwarding packets. [Ctrl+C to quit]\n",
+ rte_lcore_id());
+
+ /* Run until the application is quit or killed. */
+ for (;;) {
+ /*
+ * Receive packets on a port and forward them on the paired
+ * port. The mapping is 0 -> 1, 1 -> 0, 2 -> 3, 3 -> 2, etc.
+ */
+ for (port = 0; port < nb_ports; port++) {
+
+ /* Get burst of RX packets, from first port of pair. */
+ struct rte_mbuf *bufs[BURST_SIZE];
+ const uint16_t nb_rx = rte_eth_rx_burst(port, 0,
+ bufs, BURST_SIZE);
+
+ if (unlikely(nb_rx == 0))
+ continue;
+
+ /* Send burst of TX packets, to second port of pair. */
+ const uint16_t nb_tx = rte_eth_tx_burst(port ^ 1, 0,
+ bufs, nb_rx);
+
+ /* Free any unsent packets. */
+ if (unlikely(nb_tx < nb_rx)) {
+ uint16_t buf;
+ for (buf = nb_tx; buf < nb_rx; buf++)
+ rte_pktmbuf_free(bufs[buf]);
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+
+The main work of the application is done within the loop:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ for (;;) {
+ for (port = 0; port < nb_ports; port++) {
+
+ /* Get burst of RX packets, from first port of pair. */
+ struct rte_mbuf *bufs[BURST_SIZE];
+ const uint16_t nb_rx = rte_eth_rx_burst(port, 0,
+ bufs, BURST_SIZE);
+
+ if (unlikely(nb_rx == 0))
+ continue;
+
+ /* Send burst of TX packets, to second port of pair. */
+ const uint16_t nb_tx = rte_eth_tx_burst(port ^ 1, 0,
+ bufs, nb_rx);
+
+ /* Free any unsent packets. */
+ if (unlikely(nb_tx < nb_rx)) {
+ uint16_t buf;
+ for (buf = nb_tx; buf < nb_rx; buf++)
+ rte_pktmbuf_free(bufs[buf]);
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+Packets are received in bursts on the RX ports and transmitted in bursts on
+the TX ports. The ports are grouped in pairs with a simple mapping scheme
+using the an XOR on the port number::
+
+ 0 -> 1
+ 1 -> 0
+
+ 2 -> 3
+ 3 -> 2
+
+ etc.
+
+The ``rte_eth_tx_burst()`` function frees the memory buffers of packets that
+are transmitted. If packets fail to transmit, ``(nb_tx < nb_rx)``, then they
+must be freed explicitly using ``rte_pktmbuf_free()``.
+
+The forwarding loop can be interrupted and the application closed using
+``Ctrl-C``.

+TEP termination Sample Application
+==================================
+
+The TEP (Tunnel End point) termination sample application simulates a VXLAN
+Tunnel Endpoint (VTEP) termination in DPDK, which is used to demonstrate
+the offload and filtering capabilities of Intel® XL710 10/40 Gigabit Ethernet
+Controller for VXLAN packet.
+This sample uses the basic virtio devices management mechanism from vhost example,
+and also uses the us-vHost interface and tunnel filtering mechanism to direct
+a specified traffic to a specific VM.
+In addition, this sample is also designed to show how tunneling protocols can be handled.
+
+Background
+----------
+
+With virtualization, overlay networks allow a network structure to be built
+or imposed across physical nodes which is abstracted away from the actual
+underlining physical network connections.
+This allows network isolation, QOS, etc to be provided on a per client basis.
+
+.. _figure_overlay_networking:
+
+.. figure:: img/overlay_networking.*
+
+ Overlay Networking.
+
+In a typical setup, the network overlay tunnel is terminated at the Virtual/Tunnel End Point (VEP/TEP).
+The TEP is normally located at the physical host level ideally in the software switch.
+Due to processing constraints and the inevitable bottleneck that the switch
+becomes the ability to offload overlay support features becomes an important requirement.
+Intel® XL710 10/40 G Ethernet network card provides hardware filtering
+and offload capabilities to support overlay networks implementations such as MAC in UDP and MAC in GRE.
+
+Sample Code Overview
+--------------------
+
+The DPDK TEP termination sample code demonstrates the offload and filtering
+capabilities of Intel® XL710 10/40 Gigabit Ethernet Controller for VXLAN packet.
+
+The sample code is based on vhost library.
+The vhost library is developed for user space Ethernet switch to easily integrate with vhost functionality.
+
+The sample will support the followings:
+
+* Tunneling packet recognition.
+
+* The port of UDP tunneling is configurable
+
+* Directing incoming traffic to the correct queue based on the tunnel filter type.
+ The supported filter type are listed below.
+
+ * Inner MAC and VLAN and tenant ID
+
+ * Inner MAC and tenant ID, and Outer MAC
+
+ * Inner MAC and tenant ID
+
+ The tenant ID will be assigned from a static internal table based on the us-vhost device ID.
+ Each device will receive a unique device ID.
+ The inner MAC will be learned by the first packet transmitted from a device.
+
+* Decapsulation of RX VXLAN traffic. This is a software only operation.
+
+* Encapsulation of TX VXLAN traffic. This is a software only operation.
+
+* Inner IP and inner L4 checksum offload.
+
+* TSO offload support for tunneling packet.
+
+The following figure shows the framework of the TEP termination sample application based on vhost-cuse.

+
+Parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+**The same parameters with the vhost sample.**
+
+Refer to :ref:`vhost_app_parameters` for the meanings of 'Basename',
+'Stats', 'RX Retry', 'RX Retry Number' and 'RX Retry Delay Time'.
+
+**Number of Devices.**
+
+The nb-devices option specifies the number of virtIO device.
+The default value is 2.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ user@target:~$ ./build/app/tep_termination -c f -n 4 --huge-dir /mnt/huge --

+
+**Filter Type.**
+
+The filter-type option is used to specify which filter type is used to
+filter UDP tunneling packet to a specified queue.
+The default value is 1, which means the filter type of inner MAC and tenant ID is used.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ user@target:~$ ./build/app/tep_termination -c f -n 4 --huge-dir /mnt/huge --
+ --nb-devices 2 --udp-port 4789 --filter-type 1
+
+**TX Checksum.**
+
+The tx-checksum option is used to enable or disable the inner header checksum offload.
+The default value is 0, which means the checksum offload is disabled.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ user@target:~$ ./build/app/tep_termination -c f -n 4 --huge-dir /mnt/huge --
+ --nb-devices 2 --tx-checksum
+
+**TCP segment size.**

+
+
+Running the Virtual Machine (QEMU)
+----------------------------------
+
+Refer to :ref:`vhost_app_running`.
+
+Running DPDK in the Virtual Machine
+-----------------------------------
+
+Refer to :ref:`vhost_app_running_dpdk`.
+
+Passing Traffic to the Virtual Machine Device
+---------------------------------------------
+
+For a virtio-net device to receive traffic, the traffic's Layer 2 header must include
+both the virtio-net device's MAC address.
+The DPDK sample code behaves in a similar manner to a learning switch in that
+it learns the MAC address of the virtio-net devices from the first transmitted packet.
+On learning the MAC address,
+the DPDK vhost sample code prints a message with the MAC address and tenant ID virtio-net device.
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ DATA: (0) MAC_ADDRESS cc:bb:bb:bb:bb:bb and VNI 1000 registered
+
+The above message indicates that device 0 has been registered with MAC address cc:bb:bb:bb:bb:bb and VNI 1000.
+Any packets received on the NIC with these values are placed on the devices receive queue.

+Test Pipeline Application
+=========================
+
+The Test Pipeline application illustrates the use of the DPDK Packet Framework tool suite.
+Its purpose is to demonstrate the performance of single-table DPDK pipelines.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The application uses three CPU cores:
+
+* Core A ("RX core") receives traffic from the NIC ports and feeds core B with traffic through SW queues.
+
+* Core B ("Pipeline core") implements a single-table DPDK pipeline
+ whose type is selectable through specific command line parameter.
+ Core B receives traffic from core A through software queues,
+ processes it according to the actions configured in the table entries that
+ are hit by the input packets and feeds it to core C through another set of software queues.
+
+* Core C ("TX core") receives traffic from core B through software queues and sends it to the NIC ports for transmission.

+ Test Pipeline Application
+
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+#. Go to the app/test directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/app/test/test-pipeline
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified):
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+Application Command Line
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The application execution command line is:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./test-pipeline [EAL options] -- -p PORTMASK --TABLE_TYPE
+
+The -c EAL CPU core mask option has to contain exactly 3 CPU cores.
+The first CPU core in the core mask is assigned for core A, the second for core B and the third for core C.
+
+The PORTMASK parameter must contain 2 or 4 ports.
+
+Table Types and Behavior
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+:numref:`table_test_pipeline_1` describes the table types used and how they are populated.
+
+The hash tables are pre-populated with 16 million keys.
+For hash tables, the following parameters can be selected:
+
+* **Configurable key size implementation or fixed (specialized) key size implementation (e.g. hash-8-ext or hash-spec-8-ext).**
+ The key size specialized implementations are expected to provide better performance for 8-byte and 16-byte key sizes,
+ while the key-size-non-specialized implementation is expected to provide better performance for larger key sizes;
+
+* **Key size (e.g. hash-spec-8-ext or hash-spec-16-ext).**
+ The available options are 8, 16 and 32 bytes;
+
+* **Table type (e.g. hash-spec-16-ext or hash-spec-16-lru).**
+ The available options are ext (extendable bucket) or lru (least recently used).

+Input Traffic
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Regardless of the table type used for the core B pipeline,

+which results in uniform distribution of packets sent out on the set of output NIC ports.
+The profile for input traffic is TCP/IPv4 packets with:
+
+* destination IP address as A.B.C.D with A fixed to 0 and B, C,D random
+
+* source IP address fixed to 0.0.0.0
+
+* destination TCP port fixed to 0
+
+* source TCP port fixed to 0

+Timer Sample Application
+========================
+
+The Timer sample application is a simple application that demonstrates the use of a timer in a DPDK application.
+This application prints some messages from different lcores regularly, demonstrating the use of timers.
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+#. Go to the example directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/timer
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+ See the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for possible *RTE_TARGET* values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+To run the example in linuxapp environment:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ ./build/timer -c f -n 4
+
+Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running applications and
+the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The following sections provide some explanation of the code.
+
+Initialization and Main Loop
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In addition to EAL initialization, the timer subsystem must be initialized, by calling the rte_timer_subsystem_init() function.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* init EAL */
+
+ ret = rte_eal_init(argc, argv);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ rte_panic("Cannot init EAL\n");
+
+ /* init RTE timer library */
+
+ rte_timer_subsystem_init();
+
+After timer creation (see the next paragraph),
+the main loop is executed on each slave lcore using the well-known rte_eal_remote_launch() and also on the master.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* call lcore_mainloop() on every slave lcore */
+
+ RTE_LCORE_FOREACH_SLAVE(lcore_id) {
+ rte_eal_remote_launch(lcore_mainloop, NULL, lcore_id);
+ }
+
+ /* call it on master lcore too */
+
+ (void) lcore_mainloop(NULL);
+
+The main loop is very simple in this example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ while (1) {
+ /*
+ * Call the timer handler on each core: as we don't
+ * need a very precise timer, so only call
+ * rte_timer_manage() every ~10ms (at 2 GHz). In a real
+ * application, this will enhance performances as
+ * reading the HPET timer is not efficient.
+ */
+
+ cur_tsc = rte_rdtsc();
+
+ diff_tsc = cur_tsc - prev_tsc;
+
+ if (diff_tsc > TIMER_RESOLUTION_CYCLES) {
+ rte_timer_manage();
+ prev_tsc = cur_tsc;
+ }
+ }
+
+As explained in the comment, it is better to use the TSC register (as it is a per-lcore register) to check if the
+rte_timer_manage() function must be called or not.
+In this example, the resolution of the timer is 10 milliseconds.
+
+Managing Timers
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In the main() function, the two timers are initialized.
+This call to rte_timer_init() is necessary before doing any other operation on the timer structure.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* init timer structures */
+
+ rte_timer_init(&timer0);
+ rte_timer_init(&timer1);
+
+Then, the two timers are configured:
+
+* The first timer (timer0) is loaded on the master lcore and expires every second.
+ Since the PERIODICAL flag is provided, the timer is reloaded automatically by the timer subsystem.
+ The callback function is timer0_cb().
+
+* The second timer (timer1) is loaded on the next available lcore every 333 ms.
+ The SINGLE flag means that the timer expires only once and must be reloaded manually if required.
+ The callback function is timer1_cb().
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* load timer0, every second, on master lcore, reloaded automatically */
+
+ hz = rte_get_hpet_hz();
+
+ lcore_id = rte_lcore_id();
+
+ rte_timer_reset(&timer0, hz, PERIODICAL, lcore_id, timer0_cb, NULL);
+
+ /* load timer1, every second/3, on next lcore, reloaded manually */
+
+ lcore_id = rte_get_next_lcore(lcore_id, 0, 1);
+
+ rte_timer_reset(&timer1, hz/3, SINGLE, lcore_id, timer1_cb, NULL);
+
+The callback for the first timer (timer0) only displays a message until a global counter reaches 20 (after 20 seconds).
+In this case, the timer is stopped using the rte_timer_stop() function.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* timer0 callback */
+
+ static void
+ timer0_cb( attribute ((unused)) struct rte_timer *tim, __attribute ((unused)) void *arg)
+ {
+ static unsigned counter = 0;
+
+ unsigned lcore_id = rte_lcore_id();
+
+ printf("%s() on lcore %u\n", FUNCTION , lcore_id);
+
+ /* this timer is automatically reloaded until we decide to stop it, when counter reaches 20. */
+
+ if ((counter ++) == 20)
+ rte_timer_stop(tim);
+ }
+
+The callback for the second timer (timer1) displays a message and reloads the timer on the next lcore, using the
+rte_timer_reset() function:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* timer1 callback */
+
+ static void
+ timer1_cb( attribute ((unused)) struct rte_timer *tim, _attribute ((unused)) void *arg)
+ {
+ unsigned lcore_id = rte_lcore_id();
+ uint64_t hz;
+
+ printf("%s() on lcore %u\\n", FUNCTION , lcore_id);
+
+ /* reload it on another lcore */
+
+ hz = rte_get_hpet_hz();
+
+ lcore_id = rte_get_next_lcore(lcore_id, 0, 1);
+
+ rte_timer_reset(&timer1, hz/3, SINGLE, lcore_id, timer1_cb, NULL);
+ }

+Vhost Sample Application
+========================
+
+The vhost sample application demonstrates integration of the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK)
+with the Linux* KVM hypervisor by implementing the vhost-net offload API.
+The sample application performs simple packet switching between virtual machines based on Media Access Control
+(MAC) address or Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) tag.
+The splitting of Ethernet traffic from an external switch is performed in hardware by the Virtual Machine Device Queues
+(VMDQ) and Data Center Bridging (DCB) features of the Intel® 82599 10 Gigabit Ethernet Controller.
+
+Background
+----------
+
+Virtio networking (virtio-net) was developed as the Linux* KVM para-virtualized method for communicating network packets
+between host and guest.
+It was found that virtio-net performance was poor due to context switching and packet copying between host, guest, and QEMU.
+The following figure shows the system architecture for a virtio-based networking (virtio-net).
+
+.. _figure_qemu_virtio_net:
+
+.. figure:: img/qemu_virtio_net.*
+
+ System Architecture for Virtio-based Networking (virtio-net).
+
+
+The Linux* Kernel vhost-net module was developed as an offload mechanism for virtio-net.
+The vhost-net module enables KVM (QEMU) to offload the servicing of virtio-net devices to the vhost-net kernel module,
+reducing the context switching and packet copies in the virtual dataplane.
+
+This is achieved by QEMU sharing the following information with the vhost-net module through the vhost-net API:
+
+* The layout of the guest memory space, to enable the vhost-net module to translate addresses.
+
+* The locations of virtual queues in QEMU virtual address space,
+ to enable the vhost module to read/write directly to and from the virtqueues.
+
+* An event file descriptor (eventfd) configured in KVM to send interrupts to the virtio- net device driver in the guest.
+ This enables the vhost-net module to notify (call) the guest.
+
+* An eventfd configured in KVM to be triggered on writes to the virtio-net device's
+ Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) config space.
+ This enables the vhost-net module to receive notifications (kicks) from the guest.
+
+The following figure shows the system architecture for virtio-net networking with vhost-net offload.

+
+
+Sample Code Overview
+--------------------
+
+The DPDK vhost-net sample code demonstrates KVM (QEMU) offloading the servicing of a Virtual Machine's (VM's)
+virtio-net devices to a DPDK-based application in place of the kernel's vhost-net module.
+
+The DPDK vhost-net sample code is based on vhost library. Vhost library is developed for user space Ethernet switch to
+easily integrate with vhost functionality.
+
+The vhost library implements the following features:
+
+* Management of virtio-net device creation/destruction events.
+
+* Mapping of the VM's physical memory into the DPDK vhost-net's address space.
+
+* Triggering/receiving notifications to/from VMs via eventfds.
+
+* A virtio-net back-end implementation providing a subset of virtio-net features.
+
+There are two vhost implementations in vhost library, vhost cuse and vhost user. In vhost cuse, a character device driver is implemented to
+receive and process vhost requests through ioctl messages. In vhost user, a socket server is created to received vhost requests through
+socket messages. Most of the messages share the same handler routine.
+
+.. note::
+ **Any vhost cuse specific requirement in the following sections will be emphasized**.
+
+Two implementations are turned on and off statically through configure file. Only one implementation could be turned on. They don't co-exist in current implementation.
+
+The vhost sample code application is a simple packet switching application with the following feature:
+
+* Packet switching between virtio-net devices and the network interface card,
+ including using VMDQs to reduce the switching that needs to be performed in software.
+
+The following figure shows the architecture of the Vhost sample application based on vhost-cuse.

+
+.. _vhost_app_prerequisites:
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+This section lists prerequisite packages that must be installed.
+
+Installing Packages on the Host(vhost cuse required)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The vhost cuse code uses the following packages; fuse, fuse-devel, and kernel-modules-extra.
+The vhost user code don't rely on those modules as eventfds are already installed into vhost process through
+Unix domain socket.
+
+#. Install Fuse Development Libraries and headers:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ yum -y install fuse fuse-devel
+
+#. Install the Cuse Kernel Module:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ yum -y install kernel-modules-extra
+
+QEMU simulator
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For vhost user, qemu 2.2 is required.
+
+Setting up the Execution Environment
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The vhost sample code requires that QEMU allocates a VM's memory on the hugetlbfs file system.
+As the vhost sample code requires hugepages,
+the best practice is to partition the system into separate hugepage mount points for the VMs and the vhost sample code.
+
+.. note::
+
+ This is best-practice only and is not mandatory.
+ For systems that only support 2 MB page sizes,
+ both QEMU and vhost sample code can use the same hugetlbfs mount point without issue.
+
+**QEMU**
+
+VMs with gigabytes of memory can benefit from having QEMU allocate their memory from 1 GB huge pages.
+1 GB huge pages must be allocated at boot time by passing kernel parameters through the grub boot loader.
+
+#. Calculate the maximum memory usage of all VMs to be run on the system.
+ Then, round this value up to the nearest Gigabyte the execution environment will require.
+
+#. Edit the /etc/default/grub file, and add the following to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX entry:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="... hugepagesz=1G hugepages=<Number of hugepages required> default_hugepagesz=1G"
+
+#. Update the grub boot loader:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
+
+#. Reboot the system.
+
+#. The hugetlbfs mount point (/dev/hugepages) should now default to allocating gigabyte pages.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Making the above modification will change the system default hugepage size to 1 GB for all applications.
+
+**Vhost Sample Code**
+
+In this section, we create a second hugetlbs mount point to allocate hugepages for the DPDK vhost sample code.
+
+#. Allocate sufficient 2 MB pages for the DPDK vhost sample code:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ echo 256 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
+
+#. Mount hugetlbs at a separate mount point for 2 MB pages:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/huge -o pagesize=2M
+
+The above steps can be automated by doing the following:
+
+#. Edit /etc/fstab to add an entry to automatically mount the second hugetlbfs mount point:
+
+ ::
+
+ hugetlbfs <tab> /mnt/huge <tab> hugetlbfs defaults,pagesize=1G 0 0
+
+#. Edit the /etc/default/grub file, and add the following to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX entry:
+
+ ::
+
+ GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="... hugepagesz=2M hugepages=256 ... default_hugepagesz=1G"
+
+#. Update the grub bootloader:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
+
+#. Reboot the system.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Ensure that the default hugepage size after this setup is 1 GB.
+
+Setting up the Guest Execution Environment
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+It is recommended for testing purposes that the DPDK testpmd sample application is used in the guest to forward packets,
+the reasons for this are discussed in `Running the Virtual Machine (QEMU)`_.
+
+The testpmd application forwards packets between pairs of Ethernet devices,
+it requires an even number of Ethernet devices (virtio or otherwise) to execute.
+It is therefore recommended to create multiples of two virtio-net devices for each Virtual Machine either through libvirt or
+at the command line as follows.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Observe that in the example, "-device" and "-netdev" are repeated for two virtio-net devices.
+
+For vhost cuse:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ qemu-system-x86_64 ... \
+ -netdev tap,id=hostnet1,vhost=on,vhostfd=<open fd> \
+ -device virtio-net-pci, netdev=hostnet1,id=net1 \
+ -netdev tap,id=hostnet2,vhost=on,vhostfd=<open fd> \
+ -device virtio-net-pci, netdev=hostnet2,id=net1
+
+For vhost user:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ qemu-system-x86_64 ... \
+ -chardev socket,id=char1,path=<sock_path> \
+ -netdev type=vhost-user,id=hostnet1,chardev=char1 \
+ -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet1,id=net1 \
+ -chardev socket,id=char2,path=<sock_path> \
+ -netdev type=vhost-user,id=hostnet2,chardev=char2 \
+ -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet2,id=net2
+
+sock_path is the path for the socket file created by vhost.
+
+Compiling the Sample Code
+-------------------------
+#. Compile vhost lib:
+
+ To enable vhost, turn on vhost library in the configure file config/common_linuxapp.
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_VHOST=n
+
+ vhost user is turned on by default in the configure file config/common_linuxapp.
+ To enable vhost cuse, disable vhost user.
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_VHOST_USER=y
+
+ After vhost is enabled and the implementation is selected, build the vhost library.
+
+#. Go to the examples directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/vhost
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+ See the DPDK Getting Started Guide for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}
+ make config ${RTE_TARGET}
+ make install ${RTE_TARGET}
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/vhost
+ make
+
+#. Go to the eventfd_link directory(vhost cuse required):
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/lib/librte_vhost/eventfd_link
+
+#. Build the eventfd_link kernel module(vhost cuse required):
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Running the Sample Code
+-----------------------
+
+#. Install the cuse kernel module(vhost cuse required):
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ modprobe cuse
+
+#. Go to the eventfd_link directory(vhost cuse required):
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/lib/librte_vhost/eventfd_link
+
+#. Install the eventfd_link module(vhost cuse required):
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ insmod ./eventfd_link.ko
+
+#. Go to the examples directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/vhost/build/app
+
+#. Run the vhost-switch sample code:
+
+ vhost cuse:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ ./vhost-switch -c f -n 4 --socket-mem 1024 --huge-dir /mnt/huge \
+ -- -p 0x1 --dev-basename usvhost
+
+ vhost user: a socket file named usvhost will be created under current directory. Use its path as the socket path in guest's qemu commandline.
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ ./vhost-switch -c f -n 4 --socket-mem 1024 --huge-dir /mnt/huge \
+ -- -p 0x1 --dev-basename usvhost
+
+.. note::
+
+ Please note the huge-dir parameter instructs the DPDK to allocate its memory from the 2 MB page hugetlbfs.
+
+.. note::
+
+ The number used with the --socket-mem parameter may need to be more than 1024.
+ The number required depends on the number of mbufs allocated by vhost-switch.
+
+.. _vhost_app_parameters:
+
+Parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+**Basename.**
+vhost cuse uses a Linux* character device to communicate with QEMU.
+The basename is used to generate the character devices name.
+
+ /dev/<basename>
+
+For compatibility with the QEMU wrapper script, a base name of "usvhost" should be used:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./vhost-switch -c f -n 4 --socket-mem 1024 --huge-dir /mnt/huge \
+ -- -p 0x1 --dev-basename usvhost
+
+**vm2vm.**
+The vm2vm parameter disable/set mode of packet switching between guests in the host.
+Value of "0" means disabling vm2vm implies that on virtual machine packet transmission will always go to the Ethernet port;
+Value of "1" means software mode packet forwarding between guests, it needs packets copy in vHOST,
+so valid only in one-copy implementation, and invalid for zero copy implementation;
+value of "2" means hardware mode packet forwarding between guests, it allows packets go to the Ethernet port,
+hardware L2 switch will determine which guest the packet should forward to or need send to external,
+which bases on the packet destination MAC address and VLAN tag.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./vhost-switch -c f -n 4 --socket-mem 1024 --huge-dir /mnt/huge \
+ -- --vm2vm [0,1,2]
+
+**Mergeable Buffers.**
+The mergeable buffers parameter controls how virtio-net descriptors are used for virtio-net headers.
+In a disabled state, one virtio-net header is used per packet buffer;
+in an enabled state one virtio-net header is used for multiple packets.
+The default value is 0 or disabled since recent kernels virtio-net drivers show performance degradation with this feature is enabled.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./vhost-switch -c f -n 4 --socket-mem 1024 --huge-dir /mnt/huge \
+ -- --mergeable [0,1]
+
+**Stats.**
+The stats parameter controls the printing of virtio-net device statistics.
+The parameter specifies an interval second to print statistics, with an interval of 0 seconds disabling statistics.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./vhost-switch -c f -n 4 --socket-mem 1024 --huge-dir /mnt/huge \
+ -- --stats [0,n]
+
+**RX Retry.**
+The rx-retry option enables/disables enqueue retries when the guests RX queue is full.
+This feature resolves a packet loss that is observed at high data-rates,
+by allowing it to delay and retry in the receive path.
+This option is enabled by default.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./vhost-switch -c f -n 4 --socket-mem 1024 --huge-dir /mnt/huge \
+ -- --rx-retry [0,1]
+
+**RX Retry Number.**
+The rx-retry-num option specifies the number of retries on an RX burst,
+it takes effect only when rx retry is enabled.
+The default value is 4.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./vhost-switch -c f -n 4 --socket-mem 1024 --huge-dir /mnt/huge \
+ -- --rx-retry 1 --rx-retry-num 5
+
+**RX Retry Delay Time.**
+The rx-retry-delay option specifies the timeout (in micro seconds) between retries on an RX burst,
+it takes effect only when rx retry is enabled.
+The default value is 15.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./vhost-switch -c f -n 4 --socket-mem 1024 --huge-dir /mnt/huge \
+ -- --rx-retry 1 --rx-retry-delay 20
+
+**Zero copy.**
+The zero copy option enables/disables the zero copy mode for RX/TX packet,
+in the zero copy mode the packet buffer address from guest translate into host physical address
+and then set directly as DMA address.
+If the zero copy mode is disabled, then one copy mode is utilized in the sample.
+This option is disabled by default.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./vhost-switch -c f -n 4 --socket-mem 1024 --huge-dir /mnt/huge \
+ -- --zero-copy [0,1]
+
+**RX descriptor number.**
+The RX descriptor number option specify the Ethernet RX descriptor number,
+Linux legacy virtio-net has different behavior in how to use the vring descriptor from DPDK based virtio-net PMD,
+the former likely allocate half for virtio header, another half for frame buffer,
+while the latter allocate all for frame buffer,
+this lead to different number for available frame buffer in vring,
+and then lead to different Ethernet RX descriptor number could be used in zero copy mode.
+So it is valid only in zero copy mode is enabled. The value is 32 by default.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./vhost-switch -c f -n 4 --socket-mem 1024 --huge-dir /mnt/huge \
+ -- --zero-copy 1 --rx-desc-num [0, n]
+
+**TX descriptor number.**
+The TX descriptor number option specify the Ethernet TX descriptor number, it is valid only in zero copy mode is enabled.
+The value is 64 by default.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./vhost-switch -c f -n 4 --socket-mem 1024 --huge-dir /mnt/huge \
+ -- --zero-copy 1 --tx-desc-num [0, n]
+
+**VLAN strip.**
+The VLAN strip option enable/disable the VLAN strip on host, if disabled, the guest will receive the packets with VLAN tag.
+It is enabled by default.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./vhost-switch -c f -n 4 --socket-mem 1024 --huge-dir /mnt/huge \
+ -- --vlan-strip [0, 1]
+
+.. _vhost_app_running:
+
+Running the Virtual Machine (QEMU)
+----------------------------------
+
+QEMU must be executed with specific parameters to:
+
+* Ensure the guest is configured to use virtio-net network adapters.
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ qemu-system-x86_64 ... -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet1, \
+ id=net1 ...
+
+* Ensure the guest's virtio-net network adapter is configured with offloads disabled.
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ qemu-system-x86_64 ... -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet1, \
+ id=net1, csum=off,gso=off,guest_tso4=off,guest_tso6=off,guest_ecn=off
+
+* Redirect QEMU to communicate with the DPDK vhost-net sample code in place of the vhost-net kernel module(vhost cuse).
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ qemu-system-x86_64 ... -netdev tap,id=hostnet1,vhost=on, \
+ vhostfd=<open fd> ...
+
+* Enable the vhost-net sample code to map the VM's memory into its own process address space.
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ qemu-system-x86_64 ... -mem-prealloc -mem-path /dev/hugepages ...
+
+.. note::
+
+ The QEMU wrapper (qemu-wrap.py) is a Python script designed to automate the QEMU configuration described above.
+ It also facilitates integration with libvirt, although the script may also be used standalone without libvirt.
+
+Redirecting QEMU to vhost-net Sample Code(vhost cuse)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To redirect QEMU to the vhost-net sample code implementation of the vhost-net API,
+an open file descriptor must be passed to QEMU running as a child process.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ #!/usr/bin/python
+ fd = os.open("/dev/usvhost-1", os.O_RDWR)
+ subprocess.call
+ ("qemu-system-x86_64 ... -netdev tap,id=vhostnet0,vhost=on,vhostfd="
+ + fd +"...", shell=True)
+
+.. note::
+
+ This process is automated in the `QEMU Wrapper Script`_.
+
+Mapping the Virtual Machine's Memory
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For the DPDK vhost-net sample code to be run correctly, QEMU must allocate the VM's memory on hugetlbfs.
+This is done by specifying mem-prealloc and mem-path when executing QEMU.
+The vhost-net sample code accesses the virtio-net device's virtual rings and packet buffers
+by finding and mapping the VM's physical memory on hugetlbfs.
+In this case, the path passed to the guest should be that of the 1 GB page hugetlbfs:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ qemu-system-x86_64 ... -mem-prealloc -mem-path /dev/hugepages ...
+
+.. note::
+
+ This process is automated in the `QEMU Wrapper Script`_.
+ The following two sections only applies to vhost cuse.
+ For vhost-user, please make corresponding changes to qemu-wrapper script and guest XML file.
+
+QEMU Wrapper Script
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The QEMU wrapper script automatically detects and calls QEMU with the necessary parameters required
+to integrate with the vhost sample code.
+It performs the following actions:
+
+* Automatically detects the location of the hugetlbfs and inserts this into the command line parameters.
+
+* Automatically open file descriptors for each virtio-net device and inserts this into the command line parameters.
+
+* Disables offloads on each virtio-net device.
+
+* Calls Qemu passing both the command line parameters passed to the script itself and those it has auto-detected.
+
+The QEMU wrapper script will automatically configure calls to QEMU:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ qemu-wrap.py -machine pc-i440fx-1.4,accel=kvm,usb=off \
+ -cpu SandyBridge -smp 4,sockets=4,cores=1,threads=1 \
+ -netdev tap,id=hostnet1,vhost=on \
+ -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet1,id=net1 \
+ -hda <disk img> -m 4096
+
+which will become the following call to QEMU:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ qemu-system-x86_64 -machine pc-i440fx-1.4,accel=kvm,usb=off \
+ -cpu SandyBridge -smp 4,sockets=4,cores=1,threads=1 \
+ -netdev tap,id=hostnet1,vhost=on,vhostfd=<open fd> \
+ -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet1,id=net1, \
+ csum=off,gso=off,guest_tso4=off,guest_tso6=off,guest_ecn=off \
+ -hda <disk img> -m 4096 -mem-path /dev/hugepages -mem-prealloc
+
+Libvirt Integration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The QEMU wrapper script (qemu-wrap.py) "wraps" libvirt calls to QEMU,
+such that QEMU is called with the correct parameters described above.
+To call the QEMU wrapper automatically from libvirt, the following configuration changes must be made:
+
+* Place the QEMU wrapper script in libvirt's binary search PATH ($PATH).
+ A good location is in the directory that contains the QEMU binary.
+
+* Ensure that the script has the same owner/group and file permissions as the QEMU binary.
+
+* Update the VM xml file using virsh edit <vm name>:
+
+ * Set the VM to use the launch script
+
+ * Set the emulator path contained in the #<emulator><emulator/> tags For example,
+ replace <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-kvm<emulator/> with <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-wrap.py<emulator/>
+
+ * Set the VM's virtio-net device's to use vhost-net offload:
+
+ .. code-block:: xml
+
+ <interface type="network">
+ <model type="virtio"/>
+ <driver name="vhost"/>
+ <interface/>
+
+ * Enable libvirt to access the DPDK Vhost sample code's character device file by adding it
+ to controllers cgroup for libvirtd using the following steps:
+
+ .. code-block:: xml
+
+ cgroup_controllers = [ ... "devices", ... ] clear_emulator_capabilities = 0
+ user = "root" group = "root"
+ cgroup_device_acl = [
+ "/dev/null", "/dev/full", "/dev/zero",
+ "/dev/random", "/dev/urandom",
+ "/dev/ptmx", "/dev/kvm", "/dev/kqemu",
+ "/dev/rtc", "/dev/hpet", "/dev/net/tun",
+ "/dev/<devbase-name>-<index>",
+ ]
+
+* Disable SELinux or set to permissive mode.
+
+
+* Mount cgroup device controller:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ mkdir /dev/cgroup
+ mount -t cgroup none /dev/cgroup -o devices
+
+* Restart the libvirtd system process
+
+ For example, on Fedora* "systemctl restart libvirtd.service"
+
+* Edit the configuration parameters section of the script:
+
+ * Configure the "emul_path" variable to point to the QEMU emulator.
+
+ .. code-block:: xml
+
+ emul_path = "/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64"
+
+ * Configure the "us_vhost_path" variable to point to the DPDK vhost-net sample code's character devices name.
+ DPDK vhost-net sample code's character device will be in the format "/dev/<basename>".
+
+ .. code-block:: xml
+
+ us_vhost_path = "/dev/usvhost"
+
+Common Issues
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* QEMU failing to allocate memory on hugetlbfs, with an error like the following::
+
+ file_ram_alloc: can't mmap RAM pages: Cannot allocate memory
+
+ When running QEMU the above error indicates that it has failed to allocate memory for the Virtual Machine on
+ the hugetlbfs. This is typically due to insufficient hugepages being free to support the allocation request.
+ The number of free hugepages can be checked as follows:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ cat /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-<pagesize>/nr_hugepages
+
+ The command above indicates how many hugepages are free to support QEMU's allocation request.
+
+* User space VHOST when the guest has 2MB sized huge pages:
+
+ The guest may have 2MB or 1GB sized huge pages. The user space VHOST should work properly in both cases.
+
+* User space VHOST will not work with QEMU without the ``-mem-prealloc`` option:
+
+ The current implementation works properly only when the guest memory is pre-allocated, so it is required to
+ use a QEMU version (e.g. 1.6) which supports ``-mem-prealloc``. The ``-mem-prealloc`` option must be
+ specified explicitly in the QEMU command line.
+
+* User space VHOST will not work with a QEMU version without shared memory mapping:
+
+ As shared memory mapping is mandatory for user space VHOST to work properly with the guest, user space VHOST
+ needs access to the shared memory from the guest to receive and transmit packets. It is important to make sure
+ the QEMU version supports shared memory mapping.
+
+* In an Ubuntu environment, QEMU fails to start a new guest normally with user space VHOST due to not being able
+ to allocate huge pages for the new guest:
+
+ The solution for this issue is to add ``-boot c`` into the QEMU command line to make sure the huge pages are
+ allocated properly and then the guest should start normally.
+
+ Use ``cat /proc/meminfo`` to check if there is any changes in the value of ``HugePages_Total`` and ``HugePages_Free``
+ after the guest startup.
+
+* Log message: ``eventfd_link: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel``:
+
+ This log message may be ignored. The message occurs due to the kernel module ``eventfd_link``, which is not a standard
+ Linux module but which is necessary for the user space VHOST current implementation (CUSE-based) to communicate with
+ the guest.
+
+.. _vhost_app_running_dpdk:
+
+Running DPDK in the Virtual Machine
+-----------------------------------
+
+For the DPDK vhost-net sample code to switch packets into the VM,
+the sample code must first learn the MAC address of the VM's virtio-net device.
+The sample code detects the address from packets being transmitted from the VM, similar to a learning switch.
+
+This behavior requires no special action or configuration with the Linux* virtio-net driver in the VM
+as the Linux* Kernel will automatically transmit packets during device initialization.
+However, DPDK-based applications must be modified to automatically transmit packets during initialization
+to facilitate the DPDK vhost- net sample code's MAC learning.
+
+The DPDK testpmd application can be configured to automatically transmit packets during initialization
+and to act as an L2 forwarding switch.
+
+Testpmd MAC Forwarding
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+At high packet rates, a minor packet loss may be observed.
+To resolve this issue, a "wait and retry" mode is implemented in the testpmd and vhost sample code.
+In the "wait and retry" mode if the virtqueue is found to be full, then testpmd waits for a period of time before retrying to enqueue packets.
+
+The "wait and retry" algorithm is implemented in DPDK testpmd as a forwarding method call "mac_retry".
+The following sequence diagram describes the algorithm in detail.
+
+.. _figure_tx_dpdk_testpmd:
+
+.. figure:: img/tx_dpdk_testpmd.*
+
+ Packet Flow on TX in DPDK-testpmd
+
+
+Running Testpmd
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The testpmd application is automatically built when DPDK is installed.
+Run the testpmd application as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app
+ ./testpmd -c 0x3 -n 4 --socket-mem 512 \
+ -- --burst=64 --i --disable-hw-vlan-filter
+
+The destination MAC address for packets transmitted on each port can be set at the command line:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./testpmd -c 0x3 -n 4 --socket-mem 512 \
+ -- --burst=64 --i --disable-hw-vlan-filter \
+ --eth-peer=0,aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff --eth-peer=1,ff:ee:dd:cc:bb:aa
+
+* Packets received on port 1 will be forwarded on port 0 to MAC address
+
+ aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
+
+* Packets received on port 0 will be forwarded on port 1 to MAC address
+
+ ff:ee:dd:cc:bb:aa
+
+The testpmd application can then be configured to act as an L2 forwarding application:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ testpmd> set fwd mac_retry
+
+The testpmd can then be configured to start processing packets,
+transmitting packets first so the DPDK vhost sample code on the host can learn the MAC address:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ testpmd> start tx_first
+
+.. note::
+
+ Please note "set fwd mac_retry" is used in place of "set fwd mac_fwd" to ensure the retry feature is activated.
+
+Passing Traffic to the Virtual Machine Device
+---------------------------------------------
+
+For a virtio-net device to receive traffic,
+the traffic's Layer 2 header must include both the virtio-net device's MAC address and VLAN tag.
+The DPDK sample code behaves in a similar manner to a learning switch in that
+it learns the MAC address of the virtio-net devices from the first transmitted packet.
+On learning the MAC address,
+the DPDK vhost sample code prints a message with the MAC address and VLAN tag virtio-net device.
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ DATA: (0) MAC_ADDRESS cc:bb:bb:bb:bb:bb and VLAN_TAG 1000 registered
+
+The above message indicates that device 0 has been registered with MAC address cc:bb:bb:bb:bb:bb and VLAN tag 1000.
+Any packets received on the NIC with these values is placed on the devices receive queue.
+When a virtio-net device transmits packets, the VLAN tag is added to the packet by the DPDK vhost sample code.

+VM Power Management Application
+===============================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Applications running in Virtual Environments have an abstract view of
+the underlying hardware on the Host, in particular applications cannot see
+the binding of virtual to physical hardware.
+When looking at CPU resourcing, the pinning of Virtual CPUs(vCPUs) to
+Host Physical CPUs(pCPUS) is not apparent to an application
+and this pinning may change over time.
+Furthermore, Operating Systems on virtual machines do not have the ability
+to govern their own power policy; the Machine Specific Registers (MSRs)
+for enabling P-State transitions are not exposed to Operating Systems
+running on Virtual Machines(VMs).
+
+The Virtual Machine Power Management solution shows an example of
+how a DPDK application can indicate its processing requirements using VM local
+only information(vCPU/lcore) to a Host based Monitor which is responsible
+for accepting requests for frequency changes for a vCPU, translating the vCPU
+to a pCPU via libvirt and affecting the change in frequency.
+
+The solution is comprised of two high-level components:
+
+#. Example Host Application
+
+ Using a Command Line Interface(CLI) for VM->Host communication channel management
+ allows adding channels to the Monitor, setting and querying the vCPU to pCPU pinning,
+ inspecting and manually changing the frequency for each CPU.
+ The CLI runs on a single lcore while the thread responsible for managing
+ VM requests runs on a second lcore.
+
+ VM requests arriving on a channel for frequency changes are passed
+ to the librte_power ACPI cpufreq sysfs based library.
+ The Host Application relies on both qemu-kvm and libvirt to function.
+
+#. librte_power for Virtual Machines
+
+ Using an alternate implementation for the librte_power API, requests for
+ frequency changes are forwarded to the host monitor rather than
+ the APCI cpufreq sysfs interface used on the host.
+
+ The l3fwd-power application will use this implementation when deployed on a VM
+ (see :doc:`l3_forward_power_man`).
+
+.. _figure_vm_power_mgr_highlevel:
+
+.. figure:: img/vm_power_mgr_highlevel.*
+
+ Highlevel Solution
+
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+VM Power Management employs qemu-kvm to provide communications channels
+between the host and VMs in the form of Virtio-Serial which appears as
+a paravirtualized serial device on a VM and can be configured to use
+various backends on the host. For this example each Virtio-Serial endpoint
+on the host is configured as AF_UNIX file socket, supporting poll/select
+and epoll for event notification.
+In this example each channel endpoint on the host is monitored via
+epoll for EPOLLIN events.
+Each channel is specified as qemu-kvm arguments or as libvirt XML for each VM,
+where each VM can have a number of channels up to a maximum of 64 per VM,
+in this example each DPDK lcore on a VM has exclusive access to a channel.
+
+To enable frequency changes from within a VM, a request via the librte_power interface
+is forwarded via Virtio-Serial to the host, each request contains the vCPU
+and power command(scale up/down/min/max).
+The API for host and guest librte_power is consistent across environments,
+with the selection of VM or Host Implementation determined at automatically
+at runtime based on the environment.
+
+Upon receiving a request, the host translates the vCPU to a pCPU via
+the libvirt API before forwarding to the host librte_power.
+
+.. _figure_vm_power_mgr_vm_request_seq:
+
+.. figure:: img/vm_power_mgr_vm_request_seq.*
+
+ VM request to scale frequency
+
+
+Performance Considerations
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+While Haswell Microarchitecture allows for independent power control for each core,
+earlier Microarchtectures do not offer such fine grained control.
+When deployed on pre-Haswell platforms greater care must be taken in selecting
+which cores are assigned to a VM, for instance a core will not scale down
+until its sibling is similarly scaled.
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+BIOS
+~~~~
+
+Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology must be enabled in the platform BIOS
+if the power management feature of DPDK is to be used.
+Otherwise, the sys file folder /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq will not exist,
+and the CPU frequency-based power management cannot be used.
+Consult the relevant BIOS documentation to determine how these settings
+can be accessed.
+
+Host Operating System
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The Host OS must also have the *apci_cpufreq* module installed, in some cases
+the *intel_pstate* driver may be the default Power Management environment.
+To enable *acpi_cpufreq* and disable *intel_pstate*, add the following
+to the grub Linux command line:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ intel_pstate=disable
+
+Upon rebooting, load the *acpi_cpufreq* module:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ modprobe acpi_cpufreq
+
+Hypervisor Channel Configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Virtio-Serial channels are configured via libvirt XML:
+
+
+.. code-block:: xml
+
+ <name>{vm_name}</name>
+ <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'>
+ <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/>
+ </controller>
+ <channel type='unix'>
+ <source mode='bind' path='/tmp/powermonitor/{vm_name}.{channel_num}'/>
+ <target type='virtio' name='virtio.serial.port.poweragent.{vm_channel_num}/>
+ <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='{N}'/>
+ </channel>
+
+
+Where a single controller of type *virtio-serial* is created and up to 32 channels
+can be associated with a single controller and multiple controllers can be specified.
+The convention is to use the name of the VM in the host path *{vm_name}* and
+to increment *{channel_num}* for each channel, likewise the port value *{N}*
+must be incremented for each channel.
+
+Each channel on the host will appear in *path*, the directory */tmp/powermonitor/*
+must first be created and given qemu permissions
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ mkdir /tmp/powermonitor/
+ chown qemu:qemu /tmp/powermonitor
+
+Note that files and directories within /tmp are generally removed upon
+rebooting the host and the above steps may need to be carried out after each reboot.
+
+The serial device as it appears on a VM is configured with the *target* element attribute *name*
+and must be in the form of *virtio.serial.port.poweragent.{vm_channel_num}*,
+where *vm_channel_num* is typically the lcore channel to be used in DPDK VM applications.
+
+Each channel on a VM will be present at */dev/virtio-ports/virtio.serial.port.poweragent.{vm_channel_num}*
+
+Compiling and Running the Host Application

+
+Compiling
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+#. export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+#. cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/vm_power_manager
+#. make
+
+Running
+~~~~~~~
+
+The application does not have any specific command line options other than *EAL*:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/vm_power_mgr [EAL options]
+
+The application requires exactly two cores to run, one core is dedicated to the CLI,
+while the other is dedicated to the channel endpoint monitor, for example to run
+on cores 0 & 1 on a system with 4 memory channels:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/vm_power_mgr -c 0x3 -n 4
+
+After successful initialization the user is presented with VM Power Manager CLI:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ vm_power>
+
+Virtual Machines can now be added to the VM Power Manager:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ vm_power> add_vm {vm_name}
+
+When a {vm_name} is specified with the *add_vm* command a lookup is performed
+with libvirt to ensure that the VM exists, {vm_name} is used as an unique identifier
+to associate channels with a particular VM and for executing operations on a VM within the CLI.
+VMs do not have to be running in order to add them.
+
+A number of commands can be issued via the CLI in relation to VMs:
+
+ Remove a Virtual Machine identified by {vm_name} from the VM Power Manager.
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ rm_vm {vm_name}
+
+ Add communication channels for the specified VM, the virtio channels must be enabled
+ in the VM configuration(qemu/libvirt) and the associated VM must be active.
+ {list} is a comma-separated list of channel numbers to add, using the keyword 'all'
+ will attempt to add all channels for the VM:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ add_channels {vm_name} {list}|all
+
+ Enable or disable the communication channels in {list}(comma-separated)
+ for the specified VM, alternatively list can be replaced with keyword 'all'.
+ Disabled channels will still receive packets on the host, however the commands
+ they specify will be ignored. Set status to 'enabled' to begin processing requests again:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ set_channel_status {vm_name} {list}|all enabled|disabled
+
+ Print to the CLI the information on the specified VM, the information
+ lists the number of vCPUS, the pinning to pCPU(s) as a bit mask, along with
+ any communication channels associated with each VM, along with the status of each channel:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ show_vm {vm_name}
+
+ Set the binding of Virtual CPU on VM with name {vm_name} to the Physical CPU mask:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ set_pcpu_mask {vm_name} {vcpu} {pcpu}
+
+ Set the binding of Virtual CPU on VM to the Physical CPU:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ set_pcpu {vm_name} {vcpu} {pcpu}
+
+Manual control and inspection can also be carried in relation CPU frequency scaling:
+
+ Get the current frequency for each core specified in the mask:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ show_cpu_freq_mask {mask}
+
+ Set the current frequency for the cores specified in {core_mask} by scaling each up/down/min/max:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ set_cpu_freq {core_mask} up|down|min|max
+
+ Get the current frequency for the specified core:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ show_cpu_freq {core_num}
+
+ Set the current frequency for the specified core by scaling up/down/min/max:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ set_cpu_freq {core_num} up|down|min|max
+
+Compiling and Running the Guest Applications
+--------------------------------------------
+
+For compiling and running l3fwd-power, see :doc:`l3_forward_power_man`.
+
+A guest CLI is also provided for validating the setup.
+
+For both l3fwd-power and guest CLI, the channels for the VM must be monitored by the
+host application using the *add_channels* command on the host.

+VMDQ and DCB Forwarding Sample Application
+==========================================
+
+The VMDQ and DCB Forwarding sample application is a simple example of packet processing using the DPDK.
+The application performs L2 forwarding using VMDQ and DCB to divide the incoming traffic into queues.
+The traffic splitting is performed in hardware by the VMDQ and DCB features of the Intel® 82599 and X710/XL710 Ethernet Controllers.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+This sample application can be used as a starting point for developing a new application that is based on the DPDK and
+uses VMDQ and DCB for traffic partitioning.
+
+The VMDQ and DCB filters work on MAC and VLAN traffic to divide the traffic into input queues on the basis of the Destination MAC
+address, VLAN ID and VLAN user priority fields.
+VMDQ filters split the traffic into 16 or 32 groups based on the Destination MAC and VLAN ID.
+Then, DCB places each packet into one of queues within that group, based upon the VLAN user priority field.
+
+All traffic is read from a single incoming port (port 0) and output on port 1, without any processing being performed.
+With Intel® 82599 NIC, for example, the traffic is split into 128 queues on input, where each thread of the application reads from
+multiple queues. When run with 8 threads, that is, with the -c FF option, each thread receives and forwards packets from 16 queues.
+
+As supplied, the sample application configures the VMDQ feature to have 32 pools with 4 queues each as indicated in :numref:`figure_vmdq_dcb_example`.
+The Intel® 82599 10 Gigabit Ethernet Controller NIC also supports the splitting of traffic into 16 pools of 8 queues. While the
+Intel® X710 or XL710 Ethernet Controller NICs support many configurations of VMDQ pools of 4 or 8 queues each. For simplicity, only 16
+or 32 pools is supported in this sample. And queues numbers for each VMDQ pool can be changed by setting CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_I40E_QUEUE_NUM_PER_VM
+in config/common_* file.
+The nb-pools, nb-tcs and enable-rss parameters can be passed on the command line, after the EAL parameters:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/vmdq_dcb [EAL options] -- -p PORTMASK --nb-pools NP --nb-tcs TC --enable-rss
+
+where, NP can be 16 or 32, TC can be 4 or 8, rss is disabled by default.
+
+.. _figure_vmdq_dcb_example:
+
+.. figure:: img/vmdq_dcb_example.*
+
+ Packet Flow Through the VMDQ and DCB Sample Application
+
+
+In Linux* user space, the application can display statistics with the number of packets received on each queue.
+To have the application display the statistics, send a SIGHUP signal to the running application process.
+
+The VMDQ and DCB Forwarding sample application is in many ways simpler than the L2 Forwarding application
+(see :doc:`l2_forward_real_virtual`)
+as it performs unidirectional L2 forwarding of packets from one port to a second port.
+No command-line options are taken by this application apart from the standard EAL command-line options.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Since VMD queues are being used for VMM, this application works correctly
+ when VTd is disabled in the BIOS or Linux* kernel (intel_iommu=off).
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+#. Go to the examples directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/vmdq_dcb
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+ See the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+To run the example in a linuxapp environment:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ user@target:~$ ./build/vmdq_dcb -c f -n 4 -- -p 0x3 --nb-pools 32 --nb-tcs 4
+
+Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running applications and
+the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The following sections provide some explanation of the code.
+
+Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The EAL, driver and PCI configuration is performed largely as in the L2 Forwarding sample application,
+as is the creation of the mbuf pool.
+See :doc:`l2_forward_real_virtual`.
+Where this example application differs is in the configuration of the NIC port for RX.
+
+The VMDQ and DCB hardware feature is configured at port initialization time by setting the appropriate values in the
+rte_eth_conf structure passed to the rte_eth_dev_configure() API.
+Initially in the application,
+a default structure is provided for VMDQ and DCB configuration to be filled in later by the application.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* empty vmdq+dcb configuration structure. Filled in programmatically */
+ static const struct rte_eth_conf vmdq_dcb_conf_default = {
+ .rxmode = {
+ .mq_mode = ETH_MQ_RX_VMDQ_DCB,
+ .split_hdr_size = 0,
+ .header_split = 0, /**< Header Split disabled */
+ .hw_ip_checksum = 0, /**< IP checksum offload disabled */
+ .hw_vlan_filter = 0, /**< VLAN filtering disabled */
+ .jumbo_frame = 0, /**< Jumbo Frame Support disabled */
+ },
+ .txmode = {
+ .mq_mode = ETH_MQ_TX_VMDQ_DCB,
+ },
+ /*
+ * should be overridden separately in code with
+ * appropriate values
+ */
+ .rx_adv_conf = {
+ .vmdq_dcb_conf = {
+ .nb_queue_pools = ETH_32_POOLS,
+ .enable_default_pool = 0,
+ .default_pool = 0,
+ .nb_pool_maps = 0,
+ .pool_map = {{0, 0},},
+ .dcb_tc = {0},
+ },
+ .dcb_rx_conf = {
+ .nb_tcs = ETH_4_TCS,
+ /** Traffic class each UP mapped to. */
+ .dcb_tc = {0},
+ },
+ .vmdq_rx_conf = {
+ .nb_queue_pools = ETH_32_POOLS,
+ .enable_default_pool = 0,
+ .default_pool = 0,
+ .nb_pool_maps = 0,
+ .pool_map = {{0, 0},},
+ },
+ },
+ .tx_adv_conf = {
+ .vmdq_dcb_tx_conf = {
+ .nb_queue_pools = ETH_32_POOLS,
+ .dcb_tc = {0},
+ },
+ },
+ };
+
+The get_eth_conf() function fills in an rte_eth_conf structure with the appropriate values,
+based on the global vlan_tags array,
+and dividing up the possible user priority values equally among the individual queues
+(also referred to as traffic classes) within each pool. With Intel® 82599 NIC,
+if the number of pools is 32, then the user priority fields are allocated 2 to a queue.
+If 16 pools are used, then each of the 8 user priority fields is allocated to its own queue within the pool.
+With Intel® X710/XL710 NICs, if number of tcs is 4, and number of queues in pool is 8,
+then the user priority fields are allocated 2 to one tc, and a tc has 2 queues mapping to it, then
+RSS will determine the destination queue in 2.
+For the VLAN IDs, each one can be allocated to possibly multiple pools of queues,
+so the pools parameter in the rte_eth_vmdq_dcb_conf structure is specified as a bitmask value.
+For destination MAC, each VMDQ pool will be assigned with a MAC address. In this sample, each VMDQ pool
+is assigned to the MAC like 52:54:00:12:<port_id>:<pool_id>, that is,
+the MAC of VMDQ pool 2 on port 1 is 52:54:00:12:01:02.
+

+ if (retval) {
+ printf("mac addr add failed at pool %d\n", q);
+ return retval;
+ }
+ }
+
+Once the network port has been initialized using the correct VMDQ and DCB values,
+the initialization of the port's RX and TX hardware rings is performed similarly to that
+in the L2 Forwarding sample application.
+See :doc:`l2_forward_real_virtual` for more information.
+
+Statistics Display
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When run in a linuxapp environment,
+the VMDQ and DCB Forwarding sample application can display statistics showing the number of packets read from each RX queue.
+This is provided by way of a signal handler for the SIGHUP signal,
+which simply prints to standard output the packet counts in grid form.
+Each row of the output is a single pool with the columns being the queue number within that pool.
+
+To generate the statistics output, use the following command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ user@host$ sudo killall -HUP vmdq_dcb_app
+
+Please note that the statistics output will appear on the terminal where the vmdq_dcb_app is running,
+rather than the terminal from which the HUP signal was sent.
