+also be marked with an "EXPERIMENTAL" tag. If the functionality isn't
+upstreamable then a case can be made to maintain the PF functionality in DPDK
+without the EXPERIMENTAL tag.

+Maintainers and Sub-trees
+-------------------------
+
+The DPDK maintenance hierarchy is divided into a main repository ``dpdk`` and sub-repositories ``dpdk-next-*``.
+
+There are maintainers for the trees and for components within the tree.
+
+Trees and maintainers are listed in the ``MAINTAINERS`` file. For example::

+
+Where:
+
+* ``M`` is a tree or component maintainer.
+* ``B`` is a tree backup maintainer.
+* ``T`` is a repository tree.
+* ``F`` is a maintained file or directory.
+
+Additional details are given in the ``MAINTAINERS`` file.
+
+The role of the component maintainers is to:
+
+* Review patches for the component or delegate the review.
+  The review should be done, ideally, within 1 week of submission to the mailing list.
+* Add an ``acked-by`` to patches, or patchsets, that are ready for committing to a tree.
+* Reply to questions asked about the component.
+
+Component maintainers can be added or removed by submitting a patch to the ``MAINTAINERS`` file.
+Maintainers should have demonstrated a reasonable level of contributions or reviews to the component area.
+The maintainer should be confirmed by an ``ack`` from an established contributor.
+There can be more than one component maintainer if desired.
+
+The role of the tree maintainers is to:
+
+* Maintain the overall quality of their tree.
+  This can entail additional review, compilation checks or other tests deemed necessary by the maintainer.
+* Commit patches that have been reviewed by component maintainers and/or other contributors.
+  The tree maintainer should determine if patches have been reviewed sufficiently.
+* Ensure that patches are reviewed in a timely manner.
+* Prepare the tree for integration.
+* Ensure that there is a designated back-up maintainer and coordinate a handover for periods where the
+  tree maintainer can't perform their role.
+
+Tree maintainers can be added or removed by submitting a patch to the ``MAINTAINERS`` file.
+The proposer should justify the need for a new sub-tree and should have demonstrated a sufficient level of contributions in the area or to a similar area.
+The maintainer should be confirmed by an ``ack`` from an existing tree maintainer.
+Disagreements on trees or maintainers can be brought to the Technical Board.
+
+The backup maintainer for the master tree should be selected from the existing sub-tree maintainers from the project.

+DPDK Stable Releases and Long Term Support
+==========================================
+
+This section sets out the guidelines for the DPDK Stable Releases and the DPDK
+Long Term Support releases (LTS).
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+The purpose of the DPDK Stable Releases is to maintain releases of DPDK with
+backported fixes over an extended period of time. This provides downstream
+consumers of DPDK with a stable target on which to base applications or
+packages.
+
+The Long Term Support release (LTS) is a designation applied to a Stable
+Release to indicate longer term support.
+
+
+Stable Releases
+---------------
+
+Any major release of DPDK can be designated as a Stable Release if a
+maintainer volunteers to maintain it.
+
+A Stable Release is used to backport fixes from an ``N`` release back to an
+``N-1`` release, for example, from 16.11 to 16.07.
+
+The duration of a stable is one complete release cycle (3 months). It can be
+longer, up to 1 year, if a maintainer continues to support the stable branch,
+or if users supply backported fixes, however the explicit commitment should be
+for one release cycle.
+
+The release cadence is determined by the maintainer based on the number of
+bugfixes and the criticality of the bugs. Releases should be coordinated with
+the validation engineers to ensure that a tagged release has been tested.
+
+
+LTS Release
+-----------
+
+A stable release can be designated as an LTS release based on community
+agreement and a commitment from a maintainer. An LTS release will have a
+maintenance duration of 2 years.
+
+The current DPDK LTS release is 16.11.
+
+It is anticipated that there will be at least 4 releases per year of the LTS
+or approximately 1 every 3 months. However, the cadence can be shorter or
+longer depending on the number and criticality of the backported
+fixes. Releases should be coordinated with the validation engineers to ensure
+that a tagged release has been tested.
+
+
+What changes should be backported
+---------------------------------
+
+Backporting should be limited to bug fixes.
+
+Features should not be backported to stable releases. It may be acceptable, in
+limited cases, to back port features for the LTS release where:
+
+* There is a justifiable use case (for example a new PMD).
+* The change is non-invasive.
+* The work of preparing the backport is done by the proposer.
+* There is support within the community.
+
+
+The Stable Mailing List
+-----------------------
+
+The Stable and LTS release are coordinated on the stable@dpdk.org mailing
+list.
+
+All fix patches to the master branch that are candidates for backporting
+should also be CCed to the `stable@dpdk.org <http://dpdk.org/ml/listinfo/stable>`_
+mailing list.
+
+
+Releasing
+---------
+
+A Stable Release will be released by:
+
+* Tagging the release with YY.MM.n (year, month, number).
+* Uploading a tarball of the release to dpdk.org.
+* Sending an announcement to the `announce@dpdk.org <http://dpdk.org/ml/listinfo/announce>`_
+  list.
+
+Stable releases are available on the `dpdk.org download page <http://dpdk.org/download>`_.
+
+
+ABI
+---
+
+The Stable Release should not be seen as a way of breaking or circumventing
+the DPDK ABI policy.

+Setting a Major ABI version
+---------------------------
+
+Downstreams might want to provide different DPDK releases at the same time to
+support multiple consumers of DPDK linked against older and newer sonames.

+might end up with an executable space in which multiple versions of a library

+That is a conflict which can be avoided by setting ``CONFIG_RTE_MAJOR_ABI``.

+NXP DPAA2 CAAM (DPAA2_SEC)
+==========================
+
+The DPAA2_SEC PMD provides poll mode crypto driver support for NXP DPAA2 CAAM
+hardware accelerator.
+
+Architecture
+------------
+
+SEC is the SOC's security engine, which serves as NXP's latest cryptographic
+acceleration and offloading hardware. It combines functions previously
+implemented in separate modules to create a modular and scalable acceleration
+and assurance engine. It also implements block encryption algorithms, stream
+cipher algorithms, hashing algorithms, public key algorithms, run-time
+integrity checking, and a hardware random number generator. SEC performs
+higher-level cryptographic operations than previous NXP cryptographic
+accelerators. This provides significant improvement to system level performance.
+
+DPAA2_SEC is one of the hardware resource in DPAA2 Architecture. More information
+on DPAA2 Architecture is described in :ref:`dpaa2_overview`.
+
+DPAA2_SEC PMD is one of DPAA2 drivers which interacts with Management Complex (MC)
+portal to access the hardware object - DPSECI. The MC provides access to create,
+discover, connect, configure and destroy dpseci objects in DPAA2_SEC PMD.
+
+DPAA2_SEC PMD also uses some of the other hardware resources like buffer pools,
+queues, queue portals to store and to enqueue/dequeue data to the hardware SEC.
+
+DPSECI objects are detected by PMD using a resource container called DPRC (like
+in :ref:`dpaa2_overview`).
+
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    DPRC.1 (bus)
+      |
+      +--+--------+-------+-------+-------+---------+
+         |        |       |       |       |         |
+       DPMCP.1  DPIO.1  DPBP.1  DPNI.1  DPMAC.1  DPSECI.1
+       DPMCP.2  DPIO.2          DPNI.2  DPMAC.2  DPSECI.2
+       DPMCP.3
+
+Implementation
+--------------
+
+SEC provides platform assurance by working with SecMon, which is a companion
+logic block that tracks the security state of the SOC. SEC is programmed by
+means of descriptors (not to be confused with frame descriptors (FDs)) that
+indicate the operations to be performed and link to the message and
+associated data. SEC incorporates two DMA engines to fetch the descriptors,
+read the message data, and write the results of the operations. The DMA
+engine provides a scatter/gather capability so that SEC can read and write
+data scattered in memory. SEC may be configured by means of software for
+dynamic changes in byte ordering. The default configuration for this version
+of SEC is little-endian mode.

+* LS2084A/LS2044A
+* LS2088A/LS2048A
+* LS1088A/LS1048A
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+* Chained mbufs are not supported.
+* Hash followed by Cipher mode is not supported
+* Only supports the session-oriented API implementation (session-less APIs are not supported).
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+DPAA2_SEC driver has similar pre-requisites as described in :ref:`dpaa2_overview`.
+The following dependencies are not part of DPDK and must be installed separately:
+
+* **NXP Linux SDK**
+
+  NXP Linux software development kit (SDK) includes support for the family
+  of QorIQ® ARM-Architecture-based system on chip (SoC) processors
+  and corresponding boards.
+
+  It includes the Linux board support packages (BSPs) for NXP SoCs,
+  a fully operational tool chain, kernel and board specific modules.
+
+  SDK and related information can be obtained from:  `NXP QorIQ SDK  <http://www.nxp.com/products/software-and-tools/run-time-software/linux-sdk/linux-sdk-for-qoriq-processors:SDKLINUX>`_.
+
+* **DPDK Helper Scripts**
+
+  DPAA2 based resources can be configured easily with the help of ready scripts
+  as provided in the DPDK helper repository.
+
+  `DPDK Helper Scripts <https://github.com/qoriq-open-source/dpdk-helper>`_.
+
+Currently supported by DPDK:
+
+* NXP SDK **2.0+**.
+* MC Firmware version **10.0.0** and higher.
+* Supported architectures:  **arm64 LE**.
+
+* Follow the DPDK :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>` to setup the basic DPDK environment.
+
+Pre-Installation Configuration
+------------------------------
+
+Config File Options
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Basic DPAA2 config file options are described in :ref:`dpaa2_overview`.
+In addition to those, the following options can be modified in the ``config`` file
+to enable DPAA2_SEC PMD.
+
+Please note that enabling debugging options may affect system performance.
+
+* ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_DPAA2_SEC`` (default ``n``)
+  By default it is only enabled in defconfig_arm64-dpaa2-* config.
+  Toggle compilation of the ``librte_pmd_dpaa2_sec`` driver.
+
+* ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_DPAA2_SEC_DEBUG_INIT`` (default ``n``)
+  Toggle display of initialization related driver messages
+
+* ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_DPAA2_SEC_DEBUG_DRIVER`` (default ``n``)
+  Toggle display of driver runtime messages
+
+* ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_DPAA2_SEC_DEBUG_RX`` (default ``n``)
+  Toggle display of receive fast path run-time message
+
+* ``CONFIG_RTE_DPAA2_SEC_PMD_MAX_NB_SESSIONS``
+  By default it is set as 2048 in defconfig_arm64-dpaa2-* config.
+  It indicates Number of sessions to create in the session memory pool
+  on a single DPAA2 SEC device.
+
+Installations
+-------------
+To compile the DPAA2_SEC PMD for Linux arm64 gcc target, run the
+following ``make`` command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   cd <DPDK-source-directory>
+   make config T=arm64-dpaa2-linuxapp-gcc install

-Uninstall any existing QAT driver, for example by running:
 
-* ``./installer.sh uninstall`` in the directory where originally installed.
+The ``Driver`` column indicates either the Linux kernel version in which
+support for this device was introduced or a driver available on Intel's 01.org
+website. There are both linux and 01.org kernel drivers available for some
+devices. p = release pending.
 
-* or ``rmmod qat_dh895xcc; rmmod intel_qat``.
-
-Build and install the SRIOV-enabled QAT driver::
-
-    mkdir /QAT
-    cd /QAT
-    # copy qatmux.l.2.3.0-34.tgz to this location
-    tar zxof qatmux.l.2.3.0-34.tgz
-
-    export ICP_WITHOUT_IOMMU=1
-    ./installer.sh install QAT1.6 host
-
-You can use ``cat /proc/icp_dh895xcc_dev0/version`` to confirm the driver is correctly installed.
-You can use ``lspci -d:443`` to confirm the bdf of the 32 VF devices are available per ``DH895xCC`` device.

 Installation using kernel.org driver
 ------------------------------------
 
-For **Intel QuickAssist Technology DH895xxC**:
-
-Assuming you are running on at least a 4.4 kernel, you can use the stock kernel.org QAT
-driver to start the QAT hardware.
-
-The steps below assume you are:
+The examples below are based on the C62x device, if you have a different device
+use the corresponding values in the above table.
 
-* Running DPDK on a platform with one ``DH895xCC`` device.
-* On a kernel at least version 4.4.
+In BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and either:
 
-In BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and either
-a) disable VT-d or
-b) enable VT-d and set ``"intel_iommu=on iommu=pt"`` in the grub file.
+* Disable VT-d or
+* Enable VT-d and set ``"intel_iommu=on iommu=pt"`` in the grub file.
 
-Ensure the QAT driver is loaded on your system, by executing::
+Check that the QAT driver is loaded on your system, by executing::
 
-    lsmod | grep qat
+    lsmod | grep qa
 
-You should see the following output::
+You should see the kernel module for your device listed, e.g.::
 
-    qat_dh895xcc            5626  0
-    intel_qat              82336  1 qat_dh895xcc
+    qat_c62x               5626  0
+    intel_qat              82336  1 qat_c62x
 
 Next, you need to expose the Virtual Functions (VFs) using the sysfs file system.
 
-First find the bdf of the physical function (PF) of the DH895xCC device::
+First find the BDFs (Bus-Device-Function) of the physical functions (PFs) of
+your device, e.g.::
 
-    lspci -d : 435
+    lspci -d : 37c8
 
 You should see output similar to::
 
-    03:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Coleto Creek PCIe Endpoint
-
-Using the sysfs, enable the VFs::
-
-    echo 32 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/dh895xcc/0000\:03\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
-
-If you get an error, it's likely you're using a QAT kernel driver earlier than kernel 4.4.
-
-To verify that the VFs are available for use - use ``lspci -d:443`` to confirm
-the bdf of the 32 VF devices are available per ``DH895xCC`` device.
+    1a:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
+    3d:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
+    3f:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
 
-To complete the installation - follow instructions in `Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
+Enable the VFs for each PF by echoing the number of VFs per PF to the pci driver::
 
-**Note**: If the QAT kernel modules are not loaded and you see an error like

-Download firmware from the kernel firmware repo at:
-http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/
+Check that the VFs are available for use. For example ``lspci -d:37c9`` should
+list 48 VF devices available for a ``C62x`` device.
 
-Copy qat binaries to /lib/firmware:
-*    ``cp qat_895xcc.bin /lib/firmware``
-*    ``cp qat_895xcc_mmp.bin /lib/firmware``
+To complete the installation follow the instructions in
+`Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
 
-cd to your linux source root directory and start the qat kernel modules:
-*    ``insmod ./drivers/crypto/qat/qat_common/intel_qat.ko``
-*    ``insmod ./drivers/crypto/qat/qat_dh895xcc/qat_dh895xcc.ko``
+.. Note::
 
-**Note**:The following warning in /var/log/messages can be ignored:
-    ``IOMMU should be enabled for SR-IOV to work correctly``
+   If the QAT kernel modules are not loaded and you see an error like ``Failed
+   to load MMP firmware qat_895xcc_mmp.bin`` in kernel logs, this may be as a
+   result of not using a distribution, but just updating the kernel directly.
 
-For **Intel QuickAssist Technology C62x**:
-Assuming you are running on at least a 4.5 kernel, you can use the stock kernel.org QAT
-driver to start the QAT hardware.
+   Download firmware from the `kernel firmware repo
+   <http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/>`_.
 
-The steps below assume you are:
+   Copy qat binaries to ``/lib/firmware``::
 
-* Running DPDK on a platform with one ``C62x`` device.
-* On a kernel at least version 4.5.
+      cp qat_895xcc.bin /lib/firmware
+      cp qat_895xcc_mmp.bin /lib/firmware
 
-In BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and either
-a) disable VT-d or
-b) enable VT-d and set ``"intel_iommu=on iommu=pt"`` in the grub file.

+Cryptodev Scheduler Poll Mode Driver Library
+============================================
+
+Scheduler PMD is a software crypto PMD, which has the capabilities of
+attaching hardware and/or software cryptodevs, and distributes ingress
+crypto ops among them in a certain manner.
+
+.. figure:: img/scheduler-overview.*
+
+   Cryptodev Scheduler Overview
+
+
+The Cryptodev Scheduler PMD library (**librte_pmd_crypto_scheduler**) acts as
+a software crypto PMD and shares the same API provided by librte_cryptodev.
+The PMD supports attaching multiple crypto PMDs, software or hardware, as
+slaves, and distributes the crypto workload to them with certain behavior.
+The behaviors are categorizes as different "modes". Basically, a scheduling
+mode defines certain actions for scheduling crypto ops to its slaves.
+
+The librte_pmd_crypto_scheduler library exports a C API which provides an API
+for attaching/detaching slaves, set/get scheduling modes, and enable/disable
+crypto ops reordering.
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+* Sessionless crypto operation is not supported
+* OOP crypto operation is not supported when the crypto op reordering feature
+  is enabled.
+
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+To build DPDK with CRYTPO_SCHEDULER_PMD the user is required to set
+CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_CRYPTO_SCHEDULER=y in config/common_base, and
+recompile DPDK
+
+
+Initialization
+--------------
+
+To use the PMD in an application, user must:
+
+* Call rte_vdev_init("crpyto_scheduler") within the application.
+
+* Use --vdev="crpyto_scheduler" in the EAL options, which will call
+  rte_vdev_init() internally.
+
+
+The following parameters (all optional) can be provided in the previous
+two calls:
+
+* socket_id: Specify the socket where the memory for the device is going
+  to be allocated (by default, socket_id will be the socket where the core
+  that is creating the PMD is running on).
+
+* max_nb_sessions: Specify the maximum number of sessions that can be
+  created. This value may be overwritten internally if there are too
+  many devices are attached.
+
+* slave: If a cryptodev has been initialized with specific name, it can be
+  attached to the scheduler using this parameter, simply filling the name
+  here. Multiple cryptodevs can be attached initially by presenting this
+  parameter multiple times.
+
+* mode: Specify the scheduling mode of the PMD. The supported scheduling
+  mode parameter values are specified in the "Cryptodev Scheduler Modes
+  Overview" section.
+
+* ordering: Specify the status of the crypto operations ordering feature.
+  The value of this parameter can be "enable" or "disable". This feature
+  is disabled by default.
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    ... --vdev "crypto_aesni_mb_pmd,name=aesni_mb_1" --vdev "crypto_aesni_mb_pmd,name=aesni_mb_2" --vdev "crypto_scheduler_pmd,slave=aesni_mb_1,slave=aesni_mb_2" ...
+
+.. note::
+
+    * The scheduler cryptodev cannot be started unless the scheduling mode
+      is set and at least one slave is attached. Also, to configure the
+      scheduler in the run-time, like attach/detach slave(s), change
+      scheduling mode, or enable/disable crypto op ordering, one should stop
+      the scheduler first, otherwise an error will be returned.
+
+    * The crypto op reordering feature requires using the userdata field of
+      every mbuf to be processed to store temporary data. By the end of
+      processing, the field is set to pointing to NULL, any previously
+      stored value of this field will be lost.
+
+
+Cryptodev Scheduler Modes Overview
+----------------------------------
+
+Currently the Crypto Scheduler PMD library supports following modes of
+operation:
+
+*   **CDEV_SCHED_MODE_ROUNDROBIN:**
+
+   *Initialization mode parameter*: **round-robin**
+
+   Round-robin mode, which distributes the enqueued burst of crypto ops
+   among its slaves in a round-robin manner. This mode may help to fill
+   the throughput gap between the physical core and the existing cryptodevs
+   to increase the overall performance.
+
+*   **CDEV_SCHED_MODE_PKT_SIZE_DISTR:**
+
+   *Initialization mode parameter*: **packet-size-distr**
+
+   Packet-size based distribution mode, which works with 2 slaves, the primary
+   slave and the secondary slave, and distributes the enqueued crypto
+   operations to them based on their data lengths. A crypto operation will be
+   distributed to the primary slave if its data length is equal to or bigger
+   than the designated threshold, otherwise it will be handled by the secondary
+   slave.
+
+   A typical usecase in this mode is with the QAT cryptodev as the primary and
+   a software cryptodev as the secondary slave. This may help applications to
+   process additional crypto workload than what the QAT cryptodev can handle on
+   its own, by making use of the available CPU cycles to deal with smaller
+   crypto workloads.
+
+   The threshold is set to 128 bytes by default. It can be updated by calling
+   function **rte_cryptodev_scheduler_option_set**. The parameter of
+   **option_type** must be **CDEV_SCHED_OPTION_THRESHOLD** and **option** should
+   point to a rte_cryptodev_scheduler_threshold_option structure filled with
+   appropriate threshold value. Please NOTE this threshold has be a power-of-2
+   unsigned integer.
+
+*   **CDEV_SCHED_MODE_FAILOVER:**
+

+OCTEONTX SSOVF Eventdev Driver
+==============================
+
+The OCTEONTX SSOVF PMD (**librte_pmd_octeontx_ssovf**) provides poll mode
+eventdev driver support for the inbuilt event device found in the **Cavium OCTEONTX**
+SoC family as well as their virtual functions (VF) in SR-IOV context.
+
+More information can be found at `Cavium Networks Official Website
+<http://www.cavium.com/OCTEON-TX_ARM_Processors.html>`_.
+
+Features
+--------
+
+Features of the OCTEONTX SSOVF PMD are:
+
+- 64 Event queues
+- 32 Event ports
+- HW event scheduler
+- Supports 1M flows per event queue
+- Flow based event pipelining
+- Flow pinning support in flow based event pipelining
+- Queue based event pipelining
+- Supports ATOMIC, ORDERED, PARALLEL schedule types per flow
+- Event scheduling QoS based on event queue priority
+- Open system with configurable amount of outstanding events
+- HW accelerated dequeue timeout support to enable power management
+- SR-IOV VF
+
+Supported OCTEONTX SoCs
+-----------------------
+- CN83xx
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+There are three main pre-perquisites for executing SSOVF PMD on a OCTEONTX
+compatible board:
+
+1. **OCTEONTX Linux kernel PF driver for Network acceleration HW blocks**
+
+   The OCTEONTX Linux kernel drivers (including the required PF driver for the
+   SSOVF) are available on Github at `octeontx-kmod <https://github.com/caviumnetworks/octeontx-kmod>`_
+   along with build, install and dpdk usage instructions.
+
+2. **ARM64 Tool Chain**
+
+   For example, the *aarch64* Linaro Toolchain, which can be obtained from
+   `here <https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/4.9-2017.01/aarch64-linux-gnu>`_.
+
+3. **Rootfile system**
+
+   Any *aarch64* supporting filesystem can be used. For example,
+   Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily) or 16.04 LTS (Xenial) userland which can be obtained
+   from `<http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-base/releases/16.04/release/ubuntu-base-16.04.1-base-arm64.tar.gz>`_.
+
+   As an alternative method, SSOVF PMD can also be executed using images provided
+   as part of SDK from Cavium. The SDK includes all the above prerequisites necessary
+   to bring up a OCTEONTX board.
+
+   SDK and related information can be obtained from: `Cavium support site <https://support.cavium.com/>`_.
+
+- Follow the DPDK :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>` to setup the basic DPDK environment.
+
+Pre-Installation Configuration
+------------------------------
+
+Config File Options
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following options can be modified in the ``config`` file.
+Please note that enabling debugging options may affect system performance.
+
+- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_OCTEONTX_SSOVF`` (default ``y``)
+
+  Toggle compilation of the ``librte_pmd_octeontx_ssovf`` driver.
+
+- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_OCTEONTX_SSOVF_DEBUG`` (default ``n``)
+
+  Toggle display of generic debugging messages
+
+Driver Compilation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To compile the OCTEONTX SSOVF PMD for Linux arm64 gcc target, run the
+following ``make`` command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   cd <DPDK-source-directory>
+   make config T=arm64-thunderx-linuxapp-gcc install
+
+
+Initialization
+--------------
+
+The octeontx eventdev is exposed as a vdev device which consists of a set
+of SSO group and work-slot PCIe VF devices. On EAL initialization,
+SSO PCIe VF devices will be probed and then the vdev device can be created
+from the application code, or from the EAL command line based on
+the number of probed/bound SSO PCIe VF device to DPDK by
+
+* Invoking ``rte_vdev_init("event_octeontx")`` from the application
+
+* Using ``--vdev="event_octeontx"`` in the EAL options, which will call
+  rte_vdev_init() internally
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    ./your_eventdev_application --vdev="event_octeontx"
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+Burst mode support
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Burst mode is not supported. Dequeue and Enqueue functions accepts only single
+event at a time.

+
+Software Eventdev Poll Mode Driver
+==================================
+
+The software eventdev is an implementation of the eventdev API, that provides a
+wide range of the eventdev features. The eventdev relies on a CPU core to
+perform event scheduling.
+
+
+Features
+--------
+
+The software eventdev implements many features in the eventdev API;
+
+Queues
+ * Atomic
+ * Ordered
+ * Parallel
+ * Single-Link
+
+Ports
+ * Load balanced (for Atomic, Ordered, Parallel queues)
+ * Single Link (for single-link queues)
+
+Event Priorities
+ * Each event has a priority, which can be used to provide basic QoS
+
+
+Configuration and Options
+-------------------------
+
+The software eventdev is a vdev device, and as such can be created from the
+application code, or from the EAL command line:
+
+* Call ``rte_vdev_init("event_sw0")`` from the application
+
+* Use ``--vdev="event_sw0"`` in the EAL options, which will call
+  rte_vdev_init() internally
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    ./your_eventdev_application --vdev="event_sw0"
+
+
+Scheduling Quanta
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The scheduling quanta sets the number of events that the device attempts to
+schedule before returning to the application from the ``rte_event_schedule()``
+function. Note that is a *hint* only, and that fewer or more events may be
+scheduled in a given iteration.
+
+The scheduling quanta can be set using a string argument to the vdev
+create call:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    --vdev="event_sw0,sched_quanta=64"
+
+
+Credit Quanta
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The credit quanta is the number of credits that a port will fetch at a time from
+the instance's credit pool. Higher numbers will cause less overhead in the
+atomic credit fetch code, however it also reduces the overall number of credits
+in the system faster. A balanced number (eg 32) ensures that only small numbers
+of credits are pre-allocated at a time, while also mitigating performance impact
+of the atomics.
+
+Experimentation with higher values may provide minor performance improvements,
+at the cost of the whole system having less credits. On the other hand,
+reducing the quanta may cause measurable performance impact but provide the
+system with a higher number of credits at all times.
+
+A value of 32 seems a good balance however your specific application may
+benefit from a higher or reduced quanta size, experimentation is required to
+verify possible gains.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    --vdev="event_sw0,credit_quanta=64"
+
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+The software eventdev implementation has a few limitations. The reason for
+these limitations is usually that the performance impact of supporting the
+feature would be significant.
+
+
+"All Types" Queues
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The software eventdev does not support creating queues that handle all types of
+traffic. An eventdev with this capability allows enqueueing Atomic, Ordered and
+Parallel traffic to the same queue, but scheduling each of them appropriately.
+
+The reason to not allow Atomic, Ordered and Parallel event types in the
+same queue is that it causes excessive branching in the code to enqueue packets
+to the queue, causing a significant performance impact.
+
+The ``RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_QUEUE_ALL_TYPES`` flag is not set in the
+``event_dev_cap`` field of the ``rte_event_dev_info`` struct for the software
+eventdev.
+
+Distributed Scheduler
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The software eventdev is a centralized scheduler, requiring the
+``rte_event_schedule()`` function to be called by a CPU core to perform the
+required event distribution. This is not really a limitation but rather a
+design decision.
+
+The ``RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_DISTRIBUTED_SCHED`` flag is not set in the
+``event_dev_cap`` field of the ``rte_event_dev_info`` struct for the software
+eventdev.
+
+Dequeue Timeout
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The eventdev API supports a timeout when dequeuing packets using the
+``rte_event_dequeue_burst`` function.
+This allows a core to wait for an event to arrive, or until ``timeout`` number
+of ticks have passed. Timeout ticks is not supported by the software eventdev
+for performance reasons.

+If your system has a lot (>1 GB size) of hugepage memory, not all of it will be allocated.
 Due to hugepages typically being allocated on a local NUMA node, the hugepages allocation the application gets during the initialization depends on which
 NUMA node it is running on (the EAL does not affinitize cores until much later in the initialization process).
 Sometimes, the Linux OS runs the DPDK application on a core that is located on a different NUMA node from DPDK master core and
 therefore all the hugepages are allocated on the wrong socket.

+PVP reference benchmark setup using testpmd
+===========================================
+
+This guide lists the steps required to setup a PVP benchmark using testpmd as
+a simple forwarder between NICs and Vhost interfaces. The goal of this setup
+is to have a reference PVP benchmark without using external vSwitches (OVS,
+VPP, ...) to make it easier to obtain reproducible results and to facilitate
+continuous integration testing.
+
+The guide covers two ways of launching the VM, either by directly calling the
+QEMU command line, or by relying on libvirt. It has been tested with DPDK
+v16.11 using RHEL7 for both host and guest.
+
+
+Setup overview
+--------------
+
+.. _figure_pvp_2nics:
+
+.. figure:: img/pvp_2nics.*
+
+   PVP setup using 2 NICs
+
+In this diagram, each red arrow represents one logical core. This use-case
+requires 6 dedicated logical cores. A forwarding configuration with a single
+NIC is also possible, requiring 3 logical cores.
+
+
+Host setup
+----------
+
+In this setup, we isolate 6 cores (from CPU2 to CPU7) on the same NUMA
+node. Two cores are assigned to the VM vCPUs running testpmd and four are
+assigned to testpmd on the host.
+
+
+Host tuning
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+#. On BIOS, disable turbo-boost and hyper-threads.
+
+#. Append these options to Kernel command line:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      intel_pstate=disable mce=ignore_ce default_hugepagesz=1G hugepagesz=1G hugepages=6 isolcpus=2-7 rcu_nocbs=2-7 nohz_full=2-7 iommu=pt intel_iommu=on
+
+#. Disable hyper-threads at runtime if necessary or if BIOS is not accessible:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*[0-9]/topology/thread_siblings_list \
+          | sort | uniq \
+          | awk -F, '{system("echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu"$2"/online")}'
+
+#. Disable NMIs:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
+
+#. Exclude isolated CPUs from the writeback cpumask:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      echo ffffff03 > /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/writeback/cpumask
+
+#. Isolate CPUs from IRQs:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      clear_mask=0xfc #Isolate CPU2 to CPU7 from IRQs
+      for i in /proc/irq/*/smp_affinity
+      do
+        echo "obase=16;$(( 0x$(cat $i) & ~$clear_mask ))" | bc > $i
+      done
+
+
+Qemu build
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Build Qemu:
+
+    .. code-block:: console
+
+       git clone git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git
+       cd qemu
+       mkdir bin
+       cd bin
+       ../configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu
+       make
+
+
+DPDK build
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Build DPDK:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      git clone git://dpdk.org/dpdk
+      cd dpdk
+      export RTE_SDK=$PWD
+      make install T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc DESTDIR=install
+
+
+Testpmd launch
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+#. Assign NICs to DPDK:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      modprobe vfio-pci
+      $RTE_SDK/install/sbin/dpdk-devbind -b vfio-pci 0000:11:00.0 0000:11:00.1
+
+   .. Note::
+
+      The Sandy Bridge family seems to have some IOMMU limitations giving poor
+      performance results. To achieve good performance on these machines
+      consider using UIO instead.
+
+#. Launch the testpmd application:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      $RTE_SDK/install/bin/testpmd -l 0,2,3,4,5 --socket-mem=1024 -n 4 \
+          --vdev 'net_vhost0,iface=/tmp/vhost-user1' \
+          --vdev 'net_vhost1,iface=/tmp/vhost-user2' -- \
+          --portmask=f --disable-hw-vlan -i --rxq=1 --txq=1 \
+          --nb-cores=4 --forward-mode=io
+
+   With this command, isolated CPUs 2 to 5 will be used as lcores for PMD threads.
+
+#. In testpmd interactive mode, set the portlist to obtain the correct port
+   chaining:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      set portlist 0,2,1,3
+      start
+
+
+VM launch
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+The VM may be launched either by calling QEMU directly, or by using libvirt.
+
+Qemu way
+^^^^^^^^
+
+Launch QEMU with two Virtio-net devices paired to the vhost-user sockets
+created by testpmd. Below example uses default Virtio-net options, but options
+may be specified, for example to disable mergeable buffers or indirect
+descriptors.
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      <QEMU path>/bin/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \
+          -enable-kvm -cpu host -m 3072 -smp 3 \
+          -chardev socket,id=char0,path=/tmp/vhost-user1 \
+          -netdev type=vhost-user,id=mynet1,chardev=char0,vhostforce \
+          -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=mynet1,mac=52:54:00:02:d9:01,addr=0x10 \
+          -chardev socket,id=char1,path=/tmp/vhost-user2 \
+          -netdev type=vhost-user,id=mynet2,chardev=char1,vhostforce \
+          -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=mynet2,mac=52:54:00:02:d9:02,addr=0x11 \
+          -object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=3072M,mem-path=/dev/hugepages,share=on \
+          -numa node,memdev=mem -mem-prealloc \
+          -net user,hostfwd=tcp::1002$1-:22 -net nic \
+          -qmp unix:/tmp/qmp.socket,server,nowait \
+          -monitor stdio <vm_image>.qcow2
+
+You can use this `qmp-vcpu-pin <https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9361617/>`_
+script to pin vCPUs.
+
+It can be used as follows, for example to pin 3 vCPUs to CPUs 1, 6 and 7,
+where isolated CPUs 6 and 7 will be used as lcores for Virtio PMDs:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:<QEMU path>/scripts/qmp
+      ./qmp-vcpu-pin -s /tmp/qmp.socket 1 6 7
+
+Libvirt way
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Some initial steps are required for libvirt to be able to connect to testpmd's
+sockets.
+
+First, SELinux policy needs to be set to permissive, since testpmd is
+generally run as root (note, as reboot is required):
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      cat /etc/selinux/config
+
+      # This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
+      # SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
+      #     enforcing  - SELinux security policy is enforced.
+      #     permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
+      #     disabled   - No SELinux policy is loaded.
+      SELINUX=permissive
+
+      # SELINUXTYPE= can take one of three two values:
+      #     targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
+      #     minimum  - Modification of targeted policy.
+      #                Only selected processes are protected.
+      #     mls      - Multi Level Security protection.
+      SELINUXTYPE=targeted
+
+
+Also, Qemu needs to be run as root, which has to be specified in
+``/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf``:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      user = "root"
+
+Once the domain created, the following snippet is an extract of he most
+important information (hugepages, vCPU pinning, Virtio PCI devices):
+
+   .. code-block:: xml
+
+      <domain type='kvm'>
+        <memory unit='KiB'>3145728</memory>
+        <currentMemory unit='KiB'>3145728</currentMemory>
+        <memoryBacking>
+          <hugepages>
+            <page size='1048576' unit='KiB' nodeset='0'/>
+          </hugepages>
+          <locked/>
+        </memoryBacking>
+        <vcpu placement='static'>3</vcpu>
+        <cputune>

+VF daemon (VFd)
+===============
+
+VFd (the VF daemon) is a mechanism which can be used to configure features on
+a VF (SR-IOV Virtual Function) without direct access to the PF (SR-IOV
+Physical Function). VFd is an *EXPERIMENTAL* feature which can only be used in
+the scenario of DPDK PF with a DPDK VF. If the PF port is driven by the Linux
+kernel driver then the VFd feature will not work. Currently VFd is only
+supported by the ixgbe and i40e drivers.
+
+In general VF features cannot be configured directly by an end user
+application since they are under the control of the PF. The normal approach to
+configuring a feature on a VF is that an application would call the APIs
+provided by the VF driver. If the required feature cannot be configured by the
+VF directly (the most common case) the VF sends a message to the PF through
+the mailbox on ixgbe and i40e. This means that the availability of the feature
+depends on whether the appropriate mailbox messages are defined.
+
+DPDK leverages the mailbox interface defined by the Linux kernel driver so
+that compatibility with the kernel driver can be guaranteed. The downside of
+this approach is that the availability of messages supported by the kernel
+become a limitation when the user wants to configure features on the VF.
+
+VFd is a new method of controlling the features on a VF. The VF driver doesn't
+talk directly to the PF driver when configuring a feature on the VF. When a VF
+application (i.e., an application using the VF ports) wants to enable a VF
+feature, it can send a message to the PF application (i.e., the application
+using the PF port, which can be the same as the VF application). The PF
+application will configure the feature for the VF. Obviously, the PF
+application can also configure the VF features without a request from the VF
+application.
+
+.. _VF_daemon_overview:
+
+.. figure:: img/vf_daemon_overview.*
+
+   VF daemon (VFd) Overview
+
+Compared with the traditional approach the VFd moves the negotiation between
+VF and PF from the driver level to application level. So the application
+should define how the negotiation between the VF and PF works, or even if the
+control should be limited to the PF.
+
+It is the application's responsibility to use VFd. Consider for example a KVM
+migration, the VF application may transfer from one VM to another. It is
+recommended in this case that the PF control the VF features without
+participation from the VF. Then the VF application has no capability to
+configure the features. So the user doesn't need to define the interface
+between the VF application and the PF application. The service provider should
+take the control of all the features.
+
+The following sections describe the VFd functionality.
+
+.. Note::
+
+   Although VFd is supported by both ixgbe and i40e, please be aware that
+   since the hardware capability is different, the functions supported by
+   ixgbe and i40e are not the same.
+
+
+Preparing
+---------
+
+VFd only can be used in the scenario of DPDK PF + DPDK VF. Users should bind
+the PF port to ``igb_uio``, then create the VFs based on the DPDK PF host.
+
+The typical procedure to achieve this is as follows:
+
+#. Boot the system without iommu, or with ``iommu=pt``.
+
+#. Bind the PF port to ``igb_uio``, for example::
+
+      dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 01:00.0
+
+#. Create a Virtual Function::
+
+      echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/max_vfs
+
+#. Start a VM with the new VF port bypassed to it.
+
+#. Run a DPDK application on the PF in the host::
+
+      testpmd -l 0-7 -n 4 -- -i --txqflags=0
+
+#. Bind the VF port to ``igb_uio`` in the VM::
+
+      dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 03:00.0
+
+#. Run a DPDK application on the VF in the VM::
+
+      testpmd -l 0-7 -n 4 -- -i --txqflags=0
+
+
+Common functions of IXGBE and I40E
+----------------------------------
+
+The following sections show how to enable PF/VF functionality based on the
+above testpmd setup.
+
+
+TX loopback
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Run a testpmd runtime command on the PF to set TX loopback::
+
+   set tx loopback 0 on|off
+
+This sets whether the PF port and all the VF ports that belong to it are
+allowed to send the packets to other virtual ports.
+
+Although it is a VFd function, it is the global setting for the whole
+physical port. When using this function, the PF and all the VFs TX loopback
+will be enabled/disabled.
+
+
+VF MAC address setting
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Run a testpmd runtime command on the PF to set the MAC address for a VF port::
+
+   set vf mac addr 0 0 A0:36:9F:7B:C3:51
+
+This testpmd runtime command will change the MAC address of the VF port to
+this new address. If any other addresses are set before, they will be
+overwritten.
+
+
+VF MAC anti-spoofing
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Run a testpmd runtime command on the PF to enable/disable the MAC
+anti-spoofing for a VF port::
+
+   set vf mac antispoof 0 0 on|off
+
+When enabling the MAC anti-spoofing, the port will not forward packets whose
+source MAC address is not the same as the port.
+
+
+VF VLAN anti-spoofing
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Run a testpmd runtime command on the PF to enable/disable the VLAN
+anti-spoofing for a VF port::
+
+   set vf vlan antispoof 0 0 on|off
+
+When enabling the VLAN anti-spoofing, the port will not send packets whose
+VLAN ID does not belong to VLAN IDs that this port can receive.
+
+
+VF VLAN insertion
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Run a testpmd runtime command on the PF to set the VLAN insertion for a VF
+port::
+
+   set vf vlan insert 0 0 1
+
+When using this testpmd runtime command, an assigned VLAN ID can be inserted
+to the transmitted packets by the hardware.
+
+The assigned VLAN ID can be 0. It means disabling the VLAN insertion.
+
+
+VF VLAN stripping
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Run a testpmd runtime command on the PF to enable/disable the VLAN stripping
+for a VF port::
+
+   set vf vlan stripq 0 0 on|off
+
+This testpmd runtime command is used to enable/disable the RX VLAN stripping
+for a specific VF port.
+
+
+VF VLAN filtering
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Run a testpmd runtime command on the PF to set the VLAN filtering for a VF
+port::
+
+   rx_vlan add 1 port 0 vf 1
+   rx_vlan rm  1 port 0 vf 1
+
+These two testpmd runtime commands can be used to add or remove the VLAN
+filter for several VF ports. When the VLAN filters are added only the packets
+that have the assigned VLAN IDs can be received. Other packets will be dropped
+by hardware.
+
+
+The IXGBE specific VFd functions
+--------------------------------
+
+The functions in this section are specific to the ixgbe driver.
+
+
+All queues drop
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Run a testpmd runtime command on the PF to enable/disable the all queues
+drop::
+
+   set all queues drop on|off
+
+This is a global setting for the PF and all the VF ports of the physical port.
+
+Enabling the ``all queues drop`` feature means that when there is no available
+descriptor for the received packets they are dropped. The ``all queues drop``
+feature should be enabled in SR-IOV mode to avoid one queue blocking others.
+
+
+VF packet drop
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Run a testpmd runtime command on the PF to enable/disable the packet drop for
+a specific VF::
+
+   set vf split drop 0 0 on|off
+
+This is a similar function as ``all queues drop``. The difference is that this
+function is per VF setting and the previous function is a global setting.
+
+
+VF rate limit
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Run a testpmd runtime command on the PF to all queues' rate limit for a
+specific VF::
+
+   set port 0 vf 0 rate 10 queue_mask 1
+
+This is a function to set the rate limit for all the queues in the
+``queue_mask`` bitmap. It is not used to set the summary of the rate
+limit. The rate limit of every queue will be set equally to the assigned rate
+limit.
+
+
+VF RX enabling
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Run a testpmd runtime command on the PF to enable/disable packet receiving for
+a specific VF::
+
+   set port 0 vf 0 rx on|off
+
+This function can be used to stop/start packet receiving on a VF.
+
+
+VF TX enabling
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Run a testpmd runtime command on the PF to enable/disable packet transmitting
+for a specific VF::
+
+   set port 0 vf 0 tx on|off
+
+This function can be used to stop/start packet transmitting on a VF.
+
+
+VF RX mode setting
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Run a testpmd runtime command on the PF to set the RX mode for a specific VF::
+
+   set port 0 vf 0 rxmode AUPE|ROPE|BAM|MPE on|off
+
+This function can be used to enable/disable some RX modes on the VF, including:
+
+* If it accept untagged packets.
+* If it accepts packets matching the MAC filters.
+* If it accept MAC broadcast packets,
+* If it enables MAC multicast promiscuous mode.
+
+
+The I40E specific VFd functions
+-------------------------------
+
+The functions in this section are specific to the i40e driver.
+
+
+VF statistics
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This provides an API to get the a specific VF's statistic from PF.
+
+
+VF statistics resetting
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This provides an API to rest the a specific VF's statistic from PF.
+
+
+VF link status change notification
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This provide an API to let a specific VF know if the physical link status
+changed.
+
+Normally if a VF received this notification, the driver should notify the
+application to reset the VF port.
+
+
+VF MAC broadcast setting
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Run a testpmd runtime command on the PF to enable/disable MAC broadcast packet
+receiving for a specific VF::
+
+   set vf broadcast 0 0 on|off
+
+
+VF MAC multicast promiscuous mode
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Run a testpmd runtime command on the PF to enable/disable MAC multicast
+promiscuous mode for a specific VF::
+
+   set vf allmulti 0 0 on|off
+
+
+VF MAC unicast promiscuous mode
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Run a testpmd runtime command on the PF to enable/disable MAC unicast
+promiscuous mode for a specific VF::
+
+   set vf promisc 0 0 on|off
+
+
+VF max bandwidth
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Run a testpmd runtime command on the PF to set the TX maximum bandwidth for a
+specific VF::
+
+   set vf tx max-bandwidth 0 0 2000
+
+The maximum bandwidth is an absolute value in Mbps.
+
+
+VF TC bandwidth allocation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Run a testpmd runtime command on the PF to set the TCs (traffic class) TX
+bandwidth allocation for a specific VF::
+
+   set vf tc tx min-bandwidth 0 0 (20,20,20,40)
+
+The allocated bandwidth should be set for all the TCs. The allocated bandwidth
+is a relative value as a percentage. The sum of all the bandwidth should
+be 100.
+
+
+VF TC max bandwidth
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Run a testpmd runtime command on the PF to set the TCs TX maximum bandwidth
+for a specific VF::
+
+   set vf tc tx max-bandwidth 0 0 0 10000
+
+The maximum bandwidth is an absolute value in Mbps.
+
+
+TC strict priority scheduling
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Run a testpmd runtime command on the PF to enable/disable several TCs TX
+strict priority scheduling::
+
+   set tx strict-link-priority 0 0x3
+
+The 0 in the TC bitmap means disabling the strict priority scheduling for this
+TC. To enable use a value of 1.

+
+Virtio_user as Exceptional Path
+===============================
+
+The virtual device, virtio-user, was originally introduced with vhost-user
+backend, as a high performance solution for IPC (Inter-Process Communication)
+and user space container networking.
+
+Virtio_user with vhost-kernel backend is a solution for exceptional path,
+such as KNI which exchanges packets with kernel networking stack. This
+solution is very promising in:
+
+*   Maintenance
+
+    All kernel modules needed by this solution, vhost and vhost-net (kernel),
+    are upstreamed and extensively used kernel module.
+
+*   Features
+
+    vhost-net is born to be a networking solution, which has lots of networking
+    related featuers, like multi queue, tso, multi-seg mbuf, etc.
+
+*   Performance
+
+    similar to KNI, this solution would use one or more kthreads to
+    send/receive packets from user space DPDK applications, which has little
+    impact on user space polling thread (except that it might enter into kernel
+    space to wake up those kthreads if necessary).
+
+The overview of an application using virtio-user as exceptional path is shown
+in :numref:`figure_virtio_user_as_exceptional_path`.
+
+.. _figure_virtio_user_as_exceptional_path:
+
+.. figure:: img/virtio_user_as_exceptional_path.*
+
+   Overview of a DPDK app using virtio-user as excpetional path
+
+
+Sample Usage
+------------
+
+As a prerequisite, the vhost/vhost-net kernel CONFIG should be chosen before
+compiling the kernel and those kernel modules should be inserted.
+
+#.  Compile DPDK and bind a physical NIC to igb_uio/uio_pci_generic/vfio-pci.
+
+    This physical NIC is for communicating with outside.
+
+#.  Run testpmd.
+
+    .. code-block:: console
+
+        $(testpmd) -l 2-3 -n 4 \
+		--vdev=virtio_user0,path=/dev/vhost-net,queue_size=1024 \
+		-- -i --txqflags=0x0 --disable-hw-vlan --enable-lro \
+		--enable-rx-cksum --rxd=1024 --txd=1024
+
+    This command runs testpmd with two ports, one physical NIC to communicate
+    with outside, and one virtio-user to communicate with kernel.
+
+* ``--enable-lro``
+
+    This is used to negotiate VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_TSO4 and
+    VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_TSO6 feature so that large packets from kernel can be
+    transmitted DPDK application and further TSOed by physical NIC.
+
+* ``--enable-rx-cksum``
+
+    This is used to negotiate VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM so that packets from
+    kernel can be deemed as valid Rx checksumed.
+
+* ``queue_size``
+
+    256 by default. To avoid shortage of descriptors, we can increase it to 1024.
+
+* ``queues``
+
+    Number of multi-queues. Each qeueue will be served by a kthread. For example:
+
+    .. code-block:: console
+
+        $(testpmd) -l 2-3 -n 4 \
+		--vdev=virtio_user0,path=/dev/vhost-net,queues=2,queue_size=1024 \
+		-- -i --txqflags=0x0 --disable-hw-vlan --enable-lro \
+		--enable-rx-cksum --txq=2 --rxq=2 --rxd=1024 \
+		--txd=1024
+
+#. Start testpmd:
+
+    .. code-block:: console
+
+        (testpmd) start
+
+#.  Configure IP address and start tap:
+
+    .. code-block:: console
+
+        ifconfig tap0 1.1.1.1/24 up
+
+.. note::
+
+    The tap device will be named tap0, tap1, etc, by kernel.
+
+Then, all traffic from physical NIC can be forwarded into kernel stack, and all
+traffic on the tap0 can be sent out from physical NIC.
+
+Limitations
+-----------

+Virtio_user for Container Networking
+====================================
+
+Container becomes more and more popular for strengths, like low overhead, fast
+boot-up time, and easy to deploy, etc. How to use DPDK to accelerate container
+networking becomes a common question for users. There are two use models of
+running DPDK inside containers, as shown in
+:numref:`figure_use_models_for_running_dpdk_in_containers`.
+
+.. _figure_use_models_for_running_dpdk_in_containers:
+
+.. figure:: img/use_models_for_running_dpdk_in_containers.*
+
+   Use models of running DPDK inside container
+
+This page will only cover aggregation model.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The virtual device, virtio-user, with unmodified vhost-user backend, is designed
+for high performance user space container networking or inter-process
+communication (IPC).
+
+The overview of accelerating container networking by virtio-user is shown
+in :numref:`figure_virtio_user_for_container_networking`.
+
+.. _figure_virtio_user_for_container_networking:
+
+.. figure:: img/virtio_user_for_container_networking.*
+
+   Overview of accelerating container networking by virtio-user
+
+Different virtio PCI devices we usually use as a para-virtualization I/O in the
+context of QEMU/VM, the basic idea here is to present a kind of virtual devices,
+which can be attached and initialized by DPDK. The device emulation layer by
+QEMU in VM's context is saved by just registering a new kind of virtual device
+in DPDK's ether layer. And to minimize the change, we reuse already-existing
+virtio PMD code (driver/net/virtio/).
+
+Virtio, in essence, is a shm-based solution to transmit/receive packets. How is
+memory shared? In VM's case, qemu always shares the whole physical layout of VM
+to vhost backend. But it's not feasible for a container, as a process, to share
+all virtual memory regions to backend. So only those virtual memory regions
+(aka, hugepages initialized in DPDK) are sent to backend. It restricts that only
+addresses in these areas can be used to transmit or receive packets.
+
+Sample Usage
+------------
+
+Here we use Docker as container engine. It also applies to LXC, Rocket with
+some minor changes.
+
+#. Compile DPDK.
+
+    .. code-block:: console
+
+        make install RTE_SDK=`pwd` T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+#. Write a Dockerfile like below.
+
+    .. code-block:: console
+
+	cat <<EOT >> Dockerfile
+	FROM ubuntu:latest
+	WORKDIR /usr/src/dpdk
+	COPY . /usr/src/dpdk
+	ENV PATH "$PATH:/usr/src/dpdk/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/"
+	EOT
+
+#. Build a Docker image.
+
+    .. code-block:: console
+
+	docker build -t dpdk-app-testpmd .
+
+#. Start a testpmd on the host with a vhost-user port.
+
+    .. code-block:: console
+
+        $(testpmd) -l 0-1 -n 4 --socket-mem 1024,1024 \
+            --vdev 'eth_vhost0,iface=/tmp/sock0' \
+            --file-prefix=host --no-pci -- -i
+
+#. Start a container instance with a virtio-user port.
+
+    .. code-block:: console
+
+        docker run -i -t -v /tmp/sock0:/var/run/usvhost \
+            -v /dev/hugepages:/dev/hugepages \
+            dpdk-app-testpmd testpmd -l 6-7 -n 4 -m 1024 --no-pci \
+            --vdev=virtio_user0,path=/var/run/usvhost \
+            --file-prefix=container \
+            -- -i --txqflags=0xf00 --disable-hw-vlan
+
+Note: If we run all above setup on the host, it's a shm-based IPC.
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+We have below limitations in this solution:
+ * Cannot work with --huge-unlink option. As we need to reopen the hugepage
+   file to share with vhost backend.
+ * Cannot work with --no-huge option. Currently, DPDK uses anonymous mapping
+   under this option which cannot be reopened to share with vhost backend.
+ * Cannot work when there are more than VHOST_MEMORY_MAX_NREGIONS(8) hugepages.
+   In another word, do not use 2MB hugepage so far.
+ * Applications should not use file name like HUGEFILE_FMT ("%smap_%d"). That
+   will bring confusion when sharing hugepage files with backend by name.
+ * Root privilege is a must. DPDK resolves physical addresses of hugepages
+   which seems not necessary, and some discussions are going on to remove this
+   restriction.

+
+ARK Poll Mode Driver
+====================
+
+The ARK PMD is a DPDK poll-mode driver for the Atomic Rules Arkville
+(ARK) family of devices.
+
+More information can be found at the `Atomic Rules website
+<http://atomicrules.com>`_.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The Atomic Rules Arkville product is DPDK and AXI compliant product
+that marshals packets across a PCIe conduit between host DPDK mbufs and
+FPGA AXI streams.
+
+The ARK PMD, and the spirit of the overall Arkville product,
+has been to take the DPDK API/ABI as a fixed specification;
+then implement much of the business logic in FPGA RTL circuits.
+The approach of *working backwards* from the DPDK API/ABI and having
+the GPP host software *dictate*, while the FPGA hardware *copes*,
+results in significant performance gains over a naive implementation.
+
+While this document describes the ARK PMD software, it is helpful to
+understand what the FPGA hardware is and is not. The Arkville RTL
+component provides a single PCIe Physical Function (PF) supporting
+some number of RX/Ingress and TX/Egress Queues. The ARK PMD controls
+the Arkville core through a dedicated opaque Core BAR (CBAR).
+To allow users full freedom for their own FPGA application IP,
+an independent FPGA Application BAR (ABAR) is provided.
+
+One popular way to imagine Arkville's FPGA hardware aspect is as the
+FPGA PCIe-facing side of a so-called Smart NIC. The Arkville core does
+not contain any MACs, and is link-speed independent, as well as
+agnostic to the number of physical ports the application chooses to
+use. The ARK driver exposes the familiar PMD interface to allow packet
+movement to and from mbufs across multiple queues.
+
+However FPGA RTL applications could contain a universe of added
+functionality that an Arkville RTL core does not provide or can
+not anticipate. To allow for this expectation of user-defined
+innovation, the ARK PMD provides a dynamic mechanism of adding
+capabilities without having to modify the ARK PMD.
+
+The ARK PMD is intended to support all instances of the Arkville
+RTL Core, regardless of configuration, FPGA vendor, or target
+board. While specific capabilities such as number of physical
+hardware queue-pairs are negotiated; the driver is designed to
+remain constant over a broad and extendable feature set.
+
+Intentionally, Arkville by itself DOES NOT provide common NIC
+capabilities such as offload or receive-side scaling (RSS).
+These capabilities would be viewed as a gate-level "tax" on
+Green-box FPGA applications that do not require such function.
+Instead, they can be added as needed with essentially no
+overhead to the FPGA Application.
+
+The ARK PMD also supports optional user extensions, through dynamic linking.
+The ARK PMD user extensions are a feature of Arkville’s DPDK
+net/ark poll mode driver, allowing users to add their
+own code to extend the net/ark functionality without
+having to make source code changes to the driver. One motivation for
+this capability is that while DPDK provides a rich set of functions
+to interact with NIC-like capabilities (e.g. MAC addresses and statistics),
+the Arkville RTL IP does not include a MAC.  Users can supply their
+own MAC or custom FPGA applications, which may require control from
+the PMD.  The user extension is the means providing the control
+between the user's FPGA application and the existing DPDK features via
+the PMD.
+
+Device Parameters
+-------------------
+
+The ARK PMD supports device parameters that are used for packet
+routing and for internal packet generation and packet checking.  This
+section describes the supported parameters.  These features are
+primarily used for diagnostics, testing, and performance verification
+under the guidance of an Arkville specialist.  The nominal use of
+Arkville does not require any configuration using these parameters.
+
+"Pkt_dir"
+
+The Packet Director controls connectivity between Arkville's internal
+hardware components. The features of the Pkt_dir are only used for
+diagnostics and testing; it is not intended for nominal use.  The full
+set of features are not published at this level.

+
+AVP Poll Mode Driver
+=================================================================
+
+The Accelerated Virtual Port (AVP) device is a shared memory based device
+only available on `virtualization platforms <http://www.windriver.com/products/titanium-cloud/>`_
+from Wind River Systems.  The Wind River Systems virtualization platform
+currently uses QEMU/KVM as its hypervisor and as such provides support for all
+of the QEMU supported virtual and/or emulated devices (e.g., virtio, e1000,
+etc.).  The platform offers the virtio device type as the default device when
+launching a virtual machine or creating a virtual machine port.  The AVP device
+is a specialized device available to customers that require increased
+throughput and decreased latency to meet the demands of their performance
+focused applications.
+
+The AVP driver binds to any AVP PCI devices that have been exported by the Wind
+River Systems QEMU/KVM hypervisor.  As a user of the DPDK driver API it
+supports a subset of the full Ethernet device API to enable the application to
+use the standard device configuration functions and packet receive/transmit
+functions.
+
+These devices enable optimized packet throughput by bypassing QEMU and
+delivering packets directly to the virtual switch via a shared memory
+mechanism.  This provides DPDK applications running in virtual machines with
+significantly improved throughput and latency over other device types.
+
+The AVP device implementation is integrated with the QEMU/KVM live-migration
+mechanism to allow applications to seamlessly migrate from one hypervisor node
+to another with minimal packet loss.
+
+
+Features and Limitations of the AVP PMD
+---------------------------------------
+
+The AVP PMD driver provides the following functionality.
+
+*   Receive and transmit of both simple and chained mbuf packets,
+
+*   Chained mbufs may include up to 5 chained segments,
+
+*   Up to 8 receive and transmit queues per device,
+
+*   Only a single MAC address is supported,
+
+*   The MAC address cannot be modified,
+
+*   The maximum receive packet length is 9238 bytes,
+
+*   VLAN header stripping and inserting,
+
+*   Promiscuous mode
+
+*   VM live-migration
+
+*   PCI hotplug insertion and removal
+
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+The following prerequisites apply:
+
+*   A virtual machine running in a Wind River Systems virtualization
+    environment and configured with at least one neutron port defined with a
+    vif-model set to "avp".
+
+
+Launching a VM with an AVP type network attachment
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+The following example will launch a VM with three network attachments.  The
+first attachment will have a default vif-model of "virtio".  The next two
+network attachments will have a vif-model of "avp" and may be used with a DPDK
+application which is built to include the AVP PMD driver.

+Compiling and testing a PMD for a NIC
+=====================================
+
+This section demonstrates how to compile and run a Poll Mode Driver (PMD) for
+the available Network Interface Cards in DPDK using TestPMD.
+
+TestPMD is one of the reference applications distributed with the DPDK. Its main
+purpose is to forward packets between Ethernet ports on a network interface and
+as such is the best way to test a PMD.
+
+Refer to the :ref:`testpmd application user guide <testpmd_ug>` for detailed
+information on how to build and run testpmd.
+
+Driver Compilation
+------------------
+
+To compile a PMD for a platform, run make with appropriate target as shown below.
+Use "make" command in Linux and "gmake" in FreeBSD. This will also build testpmd.
+
+To check available targets:
+
+.. code-block:: console

+DPAA2 Overview
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Reference: `FSL MC BUS in Linux Kernel <https://www.kernel.org/doc/readme/drivers-staging-fsl-mc-README.txt>`_.
+
+DPAA2 is a hardware architecture designed for high-speed network
+packet processing.  DPAA2 consists of sophisticated mechanisms for
+processing Ethernet packets, queue management, buffer management,
+autonomous L2 switching, virtual Ethernet bridging, and accelerator
+(e.g. crypto) sharing.
+
+A DPAA2 hardware component called the Management Complex (or MC) manages the
+DPAA2 hardware resources.  The MC provides an object-based abstraction for
+software drivers to use the DPAA2 hardware.
+
+The MC uses DPAA2 hardware resources such as queues, buffer pools, and
+network ports to create functional objects/devices such as network
+interfaces, an L2 switch, or accelerator instances.
+
+The MC provides memory-mapped I/O command interfaces (MC portals)
+which DPAA2 software drivers use to operate on DPAA2 objects:
+
+The diagram below shows an overview of the DPAA2 resource management
+architecture:

+
+The MC mediates operations such as create, discover,
+connect, configuration, and destroy.  Fast-path operations
+on data, such as packet transmit/receive, are not mediated by
+the MC and are done directly using memory mapped regions in
+DPIO objects.
+
+Overview of DPAA2 Objects
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The section provides a brief overview of some key DPAA2 objects.
+A simple scenario is described illustrating the objects involved
+in creating a network interfaces.
+
+DPRC (Datapath Resource Container)
+
+ A DPRC is a container object that holds all the other
+ types of DPAA2 objects.  In the example diagram below there
+ are 8 objects of 5 types (DPMCP, DPIO, DPBP, DPNI, and DPMAC)
+ in the container.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    +---------------------------------------------------------+
+    | DPRC                                                    |
+    |                                                         |
+    |  +-------+  +-------+  +-------+  +-------+  +-------+  |
+    |  | DPMCP |  | DPIO  |  | DPBP  |  | DPNI  |  | DPMAC |  |
+    |  +-------+  +-------+  +-------+  +---+---+  +---+---+  |
+    |  | DPMCP |  | DPIO  |                                   |
+    |  +-------+  +-------+                                   |
+    |  | DPMCP |                                              |
+    |  +-------+                                              |
+    |                                                         |
+    +---------------------------------------------------------+
+
+From the point of view of an OS, a DPRC behaves similar to a plug and
+play bus, like PCI.  DPRC commands can be used to enumerate the contents
+of the DPRC, discover the hardware objects present (including mappable
+regions and interrupts).
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    DPRC.1 (bus)
+      |
+      +--+--------+-------+-------+-------+
+         |        |       |       |       |
+       DPMCP.1  DPIO.1  DPBP.1  DPNI.1  DPMAC.1
+       DPMCP.2  DPIO.2
+       DPMCP.3
+
+Hardware objects can be created and destroyed dynamically, providing
+the ability to hot plug/unplug objects in and out of the DPRC.
+
+A DPRC has a mappable MMIO region (an MC portal) that can be used
+to send MC commands.  It has an interrupt for status events (like
+hotplug).
+
+All objects in a container share the same hardware "isolation context".
+This means that with respect to an IOMMU the isolation granularity
+is at the DPRC (container) level, not at the individual object
+level.
+
+DPRCs can be defined statically and populated with objects
+via a config file passed to the MC when firmware starts
+it.  There is also a Linux user space tool called "restool"
+that can be used to create/destroy containers and objects
+dynamically.
+
+DPAA2 Objects for an Ethernet Network Interface
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A typical Ethernet NIC is monolithic-- the NIC device contains TX/RX
+queuing mechanisms, configuration mechanisms, buffer management,
+physical ports, and interrupts.  DPAA2 uses a more granular approach
+utilizing multiple hardware objects.  Each object provides specialized
+functions. Groups of these objects are used by software to provide
+Ethernet network interface functionality.  This approach provides
+efficient use of finite hardware resources, flexibility, and
+performance advantages.
+
+The diagram below shows the objects needed for a simple
+network interface configuration on a system with 2 CPUs.

+
+Below the objects are described.  For each object a brief description
+is provided along with a summary of the kinds of operations the object
+supports and a summary of key resources of the object (MMIO regions
+and IRQs).
+
+DPMAC (Datapath Ethernet MAC): represents an Ethernet MAC, a
+hardware device that connects to an Ethernet PHY and allows
+physical transmission and reception of Ethernet frames.
+
+- MMIO regions: none
+- IRQs: DPNI link change
+- commands: set link up/down, link config, get stats, IRQ config, enable, reset
+
+DPNI (Datapath Network Interface): contains TX/RX queues,
+network interface configuration, and RX buffer pool configuration
+mechanisms.  The TX/RX queues are in memory and are identified by
+queue number.
+
+- MMIO regions: none
+- IRQs: link state
+- commands: port config, offload config, queue config, parse/classify config, IRQ config, enable, reset
+
+DPIO (Datapath I/O): provides interfaces to enqueue and dequeue
+packets and do hardware buffer pool management operations.  The DPAA2
+architecture separates the mechanism to access queues (the DPIO object)
+from the queues themselves.  The DPIO provides an MMIO interface to
+enqueue/dequeue packets.  To enqueue something a descriptor is written
+to the DPIO MMIO region, which includes the target queue number.
+There will typically be one DPIO assigned to each CPU.  This allows all
+CPUs to simultaneously perform enqueue/dequeued operations.  DPIOs are
+expected to be shared by different DPAA2 drivers.
+
+- MMIO regions: queue operations, buffer management
+- IRQs: data availability, congestion notification, buffer pool depletion
+- commands: IRQ config, enable, reset
+
+DPBP (Datapath Buffer Pool): represents a hardware buffer
+pool.
+
+- MMIO regions: none
+- IRQs: none
+- commands: enable, reset
+
+DPMCP (Datapath MC Portal): provides an MC command portal.
+Used by drivers to send commands to the MC to manage
+objects.
+
+- MMIO regions: MC command portal
+- IRQs: command completion
+- commands: IRQ config, enable, reset
+
+Object Connections
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Some objects have explicit relationships that must
+be configured:
+
+- DPNI <--> DPMAC
+- DPNI <--> DPNI
+- DPNI <--> L2-switch-port
+
+A DPNI must be connected to something such as a DPMAC,
+another DPNI, or L2 switch port.  The DPNI connection
+is made via a DPRC command.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    +-------+  +-------+
+    | DPNI  |  | DPMAC |
+    +---+---+  +---+---+
+        |          |
+        +==========+
+
+- DPNI <--> DPBP
+
+A network interface requires a 'buffer pool' (DPBP object) which provides
+a list of pointers to memory where received Ethernet data is to be copied.
+The Ethernet driver configures the DPBPs associated with the network
+interface.
+
+Interrupts
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+All interrupts generated by DPAA2 objects are message
+interrupts.  At the hardware level message interrupts
+generated by devices will normally have 3 components--
+1) a non-spoofable 'device-id' expressed on the hardware
+bus, 2) an address, 3) a data value.
+
+In the case of DPAA2 devices/objects, all objects in the
+same container/DPRC share the same 'device-id'.
+For ARM-based SoC this is the same as the stream ID.
+
+
+DPAA2 DPDK - Poll Mode Driver Overview
+--------------------------------------
+
+This section provides an overview of the drivers for
+DPAA2-- 1) the bus driver and associated "DPAA2 infrastructure"
+drivers and 2) functional object drivers (such as Ethernet).
+
+As described previously, a DPRC is a container that holds the other
+types of DPAA2 objects.  It is functionally similar to a plug-and-play
+bus controller.
+
+Each object in the DPRC is a Linux "device" and is bound to a driver.
+The diagram below shows the dpaa2 drivers involved in a networking
+scenario and the objects bound to each driver.  A brief description
+of each driver follows.

+
+
+A brief description of each driver is provided below.
+
+DPAA2 bus driver
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The DPAA2 bus driver is a rte_bus driver which scans the fsl-mc bus.
+Key functions include:
+
+- Reading the container and setting up vfio group
+- Scanning and parsing the various MC objects and adding them to
+  their respective device list.
+
+Additionally, it also provides the object driver for generic MC objects.
+
+DPIO driver
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The DPIO driver is bound to DPIO objects and provides services that allow
+other drivers such as the Ethernet driver to enqueue and dequeue data for
+their respective objects.
+Key services include:
+
+- Data availability notifications
+- Hardware queuing operations (enqueue and dequeue of data)
+- Hardware buffer pool management
+
+To transmit a packet the Ethernet driver puts data on a queue and
+invokes a DPIO API.  For receive, the Ethernet driver registers
+a data availability notification callback.  To dequeue a packet
+a DPIO API is used.
+
+There is typically one DPIO object per physical CPU for optimum
+performance, allowing different CPUs to simultaneously enqueue
+and dequeue data.
+
+The DPIO driver operates on behalf of all DPAA2 drivers
+active  --  Ethernet, crypto, compression, etc.
+
+DPBP based Mempool driver
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The DPBP driver is bound to a DPBP objects and provides sevices to
+create a hardware offloaded packet buffer mempool.
+
+DPAA2 NIC Driver
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The Ethernet driver is bound to a DPNI and implements the kernel
+interfaces needed to connect the DPAA2 network interface to
+the network stack.
+
+Each DPNI corresponds to a DPDK network interface.
+
+Features
+^^^^^^^^
+
+Features of the DPAA2 PMD are:
+
+- Multiple queues for TX and RX
+- Receive Side Scaling (RSS)
+- Packet type information
+- Checksum offload
+- Promiscuous mode
+
+Supported DPAA2 SoCs
+--------------------
+
+- LS2080A/LS2040A
+- LS2084A/LS2044A
+- LS2088A/LS2048A
+- LS1088A/LS1048A
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+There are three main pre-requisities for executing DPAA2 PMD on a DPAA2
+compatible board:
+
+1. **ARM 64 Tool Chain**
+
+   For example, the `*aarch64* Linaro Toolchain <https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/4.9-2017.01/aarch64-linux-gnu>`_.
+
+2. **Linux Kernel**
+
+   It can be obtained from `NXP's Github hosting <https://github.com/qoriq-open-source/linux>`_.
+
+3. **Rootfile system**
+
+   Any *aarch64* supporting filesystem can be used. For example,
+   Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily) or 16.04 LTS (Xenial) userland which can be obtained
+   from `here <http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-base/releases/16.04/release/ubuntu-base-16.04.1-base-arm64.tar.gz>`_.
+
+As an alternative method, DPAA2 PMD can also be executed using images provided
+as part of SDK from NXP. The SDK includes all the above prerequisites necessary
+to bring up a DPAA2 board.
+
+The following dependencies are not part of DPDK and must be installed
+separately:
+
+- **NXP Linux SDK**
+
+  NXP Linux software development kit (SDK) includes support for family
+  of QorIQ® ARM-Architecture-based system on chip (SoC) processors
+  and corresponding boards.
+
+  It includes the Linux board support packages (BSPs) for NXP SoCs,
+  a fully operational tool chain, kernel and board specific modules.
+
+  SDK and related information can be obtained from:  `NXP QorIQ SDK  <http://www.nxp.com/products/software-and-tools/run-time-software/linux-sdk/linux-sdk-for-qoriq-processors:SDKLINUX>`_.
+
+- **DPDK Helper Scripts**
+
+  DPAA2 based resources can be configured easily with the help of ready scripts
+  as provided in the DPDK helper repository.
+
+  `DPDK Helper Scripts <https://github.com/qoriq-open-source/dpdk-helper>`_.
+
+Currently supported by DPDK:
+
+- NXP SDK **2.0+**.
+- MC Firmware version **10.0.0** and higher.
+- Supported architectures:  **arm64 LE**.
+
+- Follow the DPDK :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>` to setup the basic DPDK environment.
+
+.. note::
+
+   Some part of fslmc bus code (mc flib - object library) routines are
+   dual licensed (BSD & GPLv2).
+

+Limitations
+-----------
+
+Platform Requirement
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+DPAA2 drivers for DPDK can only work on NXP SoCs as listed in the
+``Supported DPAA2 SoCs``.
+
+Maximum packet length
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The DPAA2 SoC family support a maximum of a 10240 jumbo frame. The value
+is fixed and cannot be changed. So, even when the ``rxmode.max_rx_pkt_len``
+member of ``struct rte_eth_conf`` is set to a value lower than 10240, frames
+up to 10240 bytes can still reach the host interface.

+SR-IOV mode utilization
+-----------------------
+
+UCS blade servers configured with dynamic vNIC connection policies in UCS
+manager are capable of supporting assigned devices on virtual machines (VMs)
+through a KVM hypervisor. Assigned devices, also known as 'passthrough'
+devices, are SR-IOV virtual functions (VFs) on the host which are exposed
+to VM instances.
+
+The Cisco Virtual Machine Fabric Extender (VM-FEX) gives the VM a dedicated
+interface on the Fabric Interconnect (FI). Layer 2 switching is done at
+the FI. This may eliminate the requirement for software switching on the
+host to route intra-host VM traffic.
+
+Please refer to `Creating a Dynamic vNIC Connection Policy
+<http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/vm_fex/vmware/gui/config_guide/b_GUI_VMware_VM-FEX_UCSM_Configuration_Guide/b_GUI_VMware_VM-FEX_UCSM_Configuration_Guide_chapter_010.html#task_433E01651F69464783A68E66DA8A47A5>`_
+for information on configuring SR-IOV Adapter policies using UCS manager.
+
+Once the policies are in place and the host OS is rebooted, VFs should be
+visible on the host, E.g.:
+
+.. code-block:: console

+     0d:00.7 Ethernet controller: Cisco Systems Inc VIC SR-IOV VF (rev a2)
+
+Enable Intel IOMMU on the host and install KVM and libvirt. A VM instance should
+be created with an assigned device. When using libvirt, this configuration can
+be done within the domain (i.e. VM) config file. For example this entry maps
+host VF 0d:00:01 into the VM.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    <interface type='hostdev' managed='yes'>
+      <mac address='52:54:00:ac:ff:b6'/>
+      <source>
+        <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x0d' slot='0x00' function='0x1'/>
+      </source>
+
+Alternatively, the configuration can be done in a separate file using the
+``network`` keyword. These methods are described in the libvirt documentation for
+`Network XML format <https://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html>`_.
+
+When the VM instance is started, the ENIC KVM driver will bind the host VF to
+vfio, complete provisioning on the FI and bring up the link.
+
+.. note::
+
+    It is not possible to use a VF directly from the host because it is not
+    fully provisioned until the hypervisor brings up the VM that it is assigned
+    to.
+
+In the VM instance, the VF will now be visible. E.g., here the VF 00:04.0 is
+seen on the VM instance and should be available for binding to a DPDK.
+
+.. code-block:: console

+
+KNI Poll Mode Driver
+======================
+
+KNI PMD is wrapper to the :ref:`librte_kni <kni>` library.
+
+This PMD enables using KNI without having a KNI specific application,
+any forwarding application can use PMD interface for KNI.
+
+Sending packets to any DPDK controlled interface or sending to the
+Linux networking stack will be transparent to the DPDK application.
+
+To create a KNI device ``net_kni#`` device name should be used, and this
+will create ``kni#`` Linux virtual network interface.
+
+There is no physical device backend for the virtual KNI device.
+
+Packets sent to the KNI Linux interface will be received by the DPDK
+application, and DPDK application may forward packets to a physical NIC
+or to a virtual device (like another KNI interface or PCAP interface).
+
+To forward any traffic from physical NIC to the Linux networking stack,
+an application should control a physical port and create one virtual KNI port,
+and forward between two.
+
+Using this PMD requires KNI kernel module be inserted.
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+EAL ``--vdev`` argument can be used to create KNI device instance, like::
+
+        testpmd --vdev=net_kni0 --vdev=net_kn1 -- -i
+
+Above command will create ``kni0`` and ``kni1`` Linux network interfaces,
+those interfaces can be controlled by standard Linux tools.
+
+When testpmd forwarding starts, any packets sent to ``kni0`` interface
+forwarded to the ``kni1`` interface and vice versa.
+
+There is no hard limit on number of interfaces that can be created.
+
+
+Default interface configuration
+-------------------------------
+
+``librte_kni`` can create Linux network interfaces with different features,
+feature set controlled by a configuration struct, and KNI PMD uses a fixed
+configuration:
+
+    .. code-block:: console
+
+        Interface name: kni#
+        force bind kernel thread to a core : NO
+        mbuf size: MAX_PACKET_SZ
+
+KNI control path is not supported with the PMD, since there is no physical
+backend device by default.
+
+
+PMD arguments
+-------------
+
+``no_request_thread``, by default PMD creates a phtread for each KNI interface
+to handle Linux network interface control commands, like ``ifconfig kni0 up``
+
+With ``no_request_thread`` option, pthread is not created and control commands
+not handled by PMD.
+
+By default request thread is enabled. And this argument should not be used
+most of the time, unless this PMD used with customized DPDK application to handle
+requests itself.
+
+Argument usage::
+
+        testpmd --vdev "net_kni0,no_request_thread=1" -- -i
+
+
+PMD log messages
+----------------
+
+If KNI kernel module (rte_kni.ko) not inserted, following error log printed::
+
+        "KNI: KNI subsystem has not been initialized. Invoke rte_kni_init() first"
+
+
+PMD testing
+-----------
+
+It is possible to test PMD quickly using KNI kernel module loopback feature:
+
+* Insert KNI kernel module with loopback support:
+
+    .. code-block:: console
+
+        insmod build/kmod/rte_kni.ko lo_mode=lo_mode_fifo_skb
+
+* Start testpmd with no physical device but two KNI virtual devices:
+
+    .. code-block:: console
+
+        ./testpmd --vdev net_kni0 --vdev net_kni1 -- -i

+
+#. Verify SR-IOV and ARI capabilities are enabled on the adapter using ``lspci``:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      lspci -s <slot> -vvv
+
+   Example output:
+
+   .. code-block:: console

+      [...]
+      Capabilities: [178 v1] Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV)
+      [...]
+      Kernel driver in use: LiquidIO
+
+#. Load the kernel module:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      modprobe liquidio
+
+#. Bring up the PF ports:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      ifconfig p4p1 up
+      ifconfig p4p2 up
+
+#. Change PF MTU if required:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      ifconfig p4p1 mtu 9000
+      ifconfig p4p2 mtu 9000
+
+#. Create VF device(s):
+
+   Echo number of VFs to be created into ``"sriov_numvfs"`` sysfs entry
+   of the parent PF.
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:03:00.0/sriov_numvfs
+      echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:03:00.1/sriov_numvfs
+
+#. Assign VF MAC address:
+
+   Assign MAC address to the VF using iproute2 utility. The syntax is::
+
+      ip link set <PF iface> vf <VF id> mac <macaddr>
+
+   Example output:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      ip link set p4p1 vf 0 mac F2:A8:1B:5E:B4:66
+
+#. Assign VF(s) to VM.
+
+   The VF devices may be passed through to the guest VM using qemu or
+   virt-manager or virsh etc.
+
+   Example qemu guest launch command:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      ./qemu-system-x86_64 -name lio-vm -machine accel=kvm \
+      -cpu host -m 4096 -smp 4 \
+      -drive file=<disk_file>,if=none,id=disk1,format=<type> \
+      -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,drive=disk1,id=virtio-disk1,bootindex=1 \
+      -device vfio-pci,host=03:00.3 -device vfio-pci,host=03:08.3
+
+#. Running testpmd
+
+   Refer to the document
+   :ref:`compiling and testing a PMD for a NIC <pmd_build_and_test>` to run
+   ``testpmd`` application.
+
+   .. note::

+Limitations
+-----------
+
+VF MTU
+~~~~~~
+
+VF MTU is limited by PF MTU. Raise PF value before configuring VF for larger packet size.
+
+VLAN offload
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Tx VLAN insertion is not supported and consequently VLAN offload feature is
+marked partial.
+
+Ring size
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+Number of descriptors for Rx/Tx ring should be in the range 128 to 512.
+
+CRC striping
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+LiquidIO adapters strip ethernet FCS of every packet coming to the host
+interface. So, CRC will be stripped even when the ``rxmode.hw_strip_crc``
+member is set to 0 in ``struct rte_eth_conf``.

-System configuration
---------------------
-
-Using the NFP PMD is not different to using other PMDs. Usual steps are:
-
-#. **Configure hugepages:** All major Linux distributions have the hugepages
-   functionality enabled by default. By default this allows the system uses for
-   working with transparent hugepages. But in this case some hugepages need to
-   be created/reserved for use with the DPDK through the hugetlbfs file system.
-   First the virtual file system need to be mounted:
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-      mount -t hugetlbfs none /mnt/hugetlbfs
-
-   The command uses the common mount point for this file system and it needs to
-   be created if necessary.
-
-   Configuring hugepages is performed via sysfs:
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-      /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
-
-   This sysfs file is used to specify the number of hugepages to reserve.
-   For example:
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-      echo 1024 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
-
-   This will reserve 2GB of memory using 1024 2MB hugepages. The file may be
-   read to see if the operation was performed correctly:
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-      cat /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
-
-   The number of unused hugepages may also be inspected.
-
-   Before executing the DPDK app it should match the value of nr_hugepages.
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-      cat /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/free_hugepages
-
-   The hugepages reservation should be performed at system initialization and
-   it is usual to use a kernel parameter for configuration. If the reservation
-   is attempted on a busy system it will likely fail. Reserving memory for
-   hugepages may be done adding the following to the grub kernel command line:
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-      default_hugepagesz=1M hugepagesz=2M hugepages=1024
-
-   This will reserve 2GBytes of memory using 2Mbytes huge pages.
-
-   Finally, for a NUMA system the allocation needs to be made on the correct
-   NUMA node. In a DPDK app there is a master core which will (usually) perform
-   memory allocation. It is important that some of the hugepages are reserved
-   on the NUMA memory node where the network device is attached. This is because
-   of a restriction in DPDK by which TX and RX descriptors rings must be created
-   on the master code.
-
-   Per-node allocation of hugepages may be inspected and controlled using sysfs.
-   For example:
-
-   .. code-block:: console
+Driver compilation and testing
+------------------------------
 
-      cat /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
+Refer to the document :ref:`compiling and testing a PMD for a NIC <pmd_build_and_test>`
+for details.
 
-   For a NUMA system there will be a specific hugepage directory per node
-   allowing control of hugepage reservation. A common problem may occur when
-   hugepages reservation is performed after the system has been working for
-   some time. Configuration using the global sysfs hugepage interface will
-   succeed but the per-node allocations may be unsatisfactory.
 
-   The number of hugepages that need to be reserved depends on how the app uses
-   TX and RX descriptors, and packets mbufs.

    Depending on the modules loaded at this point the new PCI devices may be
    bound to nfp_netvf driver.
-
-#. **To install the uio kernel module (manually):** All major Linux
-   distributions have support for this kernel module so it is straightforward
-   to install it:
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-      modprobe uio
-
-   The module should now be listed by the lsmod command.
-
-#. **To install the igb_uio kernel module (manually):** This module is part

-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-      modprobe igb_uio.ko
-
-   The module should now be listed by the lsmod command.
-
-   Depending on which NFP modules are loaded, it could be necessary to
-   detach NFP devices from the nfp_netvf module. If this is the case the
-   device needs to be unbound, for example:
-
-   .. code-block:: console

-
-   The output of lspci should now show that 0000:03:08.0 is not bound to
-   any driver.
-
-   The next step is to add the NFP PCI ID to the IGB UIO driver:
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-      echo 19ee 6003 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/igb_uio/new_id
-
-   And then to bind the device to the igb_uio driver:
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-      echo 0000:03:08.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/igb_uio/bind
-
-      lspci -d19ee: -k
-
-   lspci should show that device bound to igb_uio driver.
-
-#. **Using scripts to install and bind modules:** DPDK provides scripts which are
-   useful for installing the UIO modules and for binding the right device to those
-   modules avoiding doing so manually:
-
-   * **dpdk-setup.sh**
-   * **dpdk-devbind.py**
-
-   Configuration may be performed by running dpdk-setup.sh which invokes
-   dpdk-devbind.py as needed. Executing dpdk-setup.sh will display a menu of
-   configuration options.

-SR-IOV: Prerequisites and Sample Application Notes
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-This section provides instructions to configure SR-IOV with Linux OS.
-
-**Note**: librte_pmd_qede will be used to bind to SR-IOV VF device and Linux native kernel driver (QEDE) will function as SR-IOV PF driver. Requires PF driver to be 8.10.x.x or higher.
-
-#. Verify SR-IOV and ARI capability is enabled on the adapter using ``lspci``:
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-      lspci -s <slot> -vvv
-
-   Example output:

-      [...]
-      Capabilities: [1b8 v1] Alternative Routing-ID Interpretation (ARI)
-      [...]
-      Capabilities: [1c0 v1] Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV)
-      [...]
-      Kernel driver in use: igb_uio
-
-#. Load the kernel module:
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-      modprobe qede
-
-   Example output:
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-      systemd-udevd[4848]: renamed network interface eth0 to ens5f0
-      systemd-udevd[4848]: renamed network interface eth1 to ens5f1
-
-#. Bring up the PF ports:
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-      ifconfig ens5f0 up
-      ifconfig ens5f1 up
-
-#. Create VF device(s):
-
-   Echo the number of VFs to be created into ``"sriov_numvfs"`` sysfs entry
-   of the parent PF.
-
-   Example output:
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-      echo 2 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:81:00.0/sriov_numvfs
-
-
-#. Assign VF MAC address:
-
-   Assign MAC address to the VF using iproute2 utility. The syntax is::
-
-      ip link set <PF iface> vf <VF id> mac <macaddr>
-
-   Example output:
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-      ip link set ens5f0 vf 0 mac 52:54:00:2f:9d:e8
-
-
-#. PCI Passthrough:

+extra 269 (14 bytes prefix plus up to 255 bytes for end padding) bytes may be
+required in the receive buffer.
+It should be taken into account when mbuf pool for receive is created.
+
+
+Flow API support
+----------------
+
+Supported attributes:
+
+- Ingress
+
+Supported pattern items:
+
+- VOID
+
+- ETH (exact match of source/destination addresses, individual/group match

+  The format is consumed by the Solarflare netlogdecode cross-platform tool.
+
+- ``stats_update_period_ms`` [long] (default **1000**)
+
+  Adjust period in milliseconds to update port hardware statistics.
+  The accepted range is 0 to 65535. The value of **0** may be used
+  to disable periodic statistics update. One should note that it's
+  only possible to set an arbitrary value on SFN8xxx provided that
+  firmware version is 6.2.1.1033 or higher, otherwise any positive
+  value will select a fixed update period of **1000** milliseconds

+
+Tun/Tap Poll Mode Driver
+========================
+
+The ``rte_eth_tap.c`` PMD creates a device using TUN/TAP interfaces on the
+local host. The PMD allows for DPDK and the host to communicate using a raw
+device interface on the host and in the DPDK application.
+
+The device created is a TAP device, which sends/receives packet in a raw
+format with a L2 header. The usage for a TAP PMD is for connectivity to the
+local host using a TAP interface. When the TAP PMD is initialized it will
+create a number of tap devices in the host accessed via ``ifconfig -a`` or
+``ip`` command. The commands can be used to assign and query the virtual like
+device.
+
+These TAP interfaces can be used with Wireshark or tcpdump or Pktgen-DPDK
+along with being able to be used as a network connection to the DPDK
+application. The method enable one or more interfaces is to use the
+``--vdev=net_tap0`` option on the DPDK application command line. Each
+``--vdev=net_tap1`` option give will create an interface named dtap0, dtap1,
+and so on.
+
+The interface name can be changed by adding the ``iface=foo0``, for example::
+
+   --vdev=net_tap0,iface=foo0 --vdev=net_tap1,iface=foo1, ...
+
+Also the speed of the interface can be changed from 10G to whatever number
+needed, but the interface does not enforce that speed, for example::
+
+   --vdev=net_tap0,iface=foo0,speed=25000
+
+It is possible to specify a remote netdevice to capture packets from by adding
+``remote=foo1``, for example::
+
+   --vdev=net_tap,iface=tap0,remote=foo1
+
+If a ``remote`` is set, the tap MAC address will be set to match the remote one
+just after netdevice creation. Using TC rules, traffic from the remote netdevice
+will be redirected to the tap. If the tap is in promiscuous mode, then all
+packets will be redirected. In allmulti mode, all multicast packets will be
+redirected.
+
+Using the remote feature is especially useful for capturing traffic from a
+netdevice that has no support in the DPDK. It is possible to add explicit
+rte_flow rules on the tap PMD to capture specific traffic (see next section for
+examples).
+
+After the DPDK application is started you can send and receive packets on the
+interface using the standard rx_burst/tx_burst APIs in DPDK. From the host
+point of view you can use any host tool like tcpdump, Wireshark, ping, Pktgen
+and others to communicate with the DPDK application. The DPDK application may
+not understand network protocols like IPv4/6, UDP or TCP unless the
+application has been written to understand these protocols.
+
+If you need the interface as a real network interface meaning running and has
+a valid IP address then you can do this with the following commands::
+
+   sudo ip link set dtap0 up; sudo ip addr add 192.168.0.250/24 dev dtap0
+   sudo ip link set dtap1 up; sudo ip addr add 192.168.1.250/24 dev dtap1
+
+Please change the IP addresses as you see fit.
+
+If routing is enabled on the host you can also communicate with the DPDK App
+over the internet via a standard socket layer application as long as you
+account for the protocol handing in the application.
+
+If you have a Network Stack in your DPDK application or something like it you
+can utilize that stack to handle the network protocols. Plus you would be able
+to address the interface using an IP address assigned to the internal
+interface.
+
+Flow API support
+----------------
+
+The tap PMD supports major flow API pattern items and actions, when running on
+linux kernels above 4.2 ("Flower" classifier required). Supported items:
+
+- eth: src and dst (with variable masks), and eth_type (0xffff mask).
+- vlan: vid, pcp, tpid, but not eid. (requires kernel 4.9)
+- ipv4/6: src and dst (with variable masks), and ip_proto (0xffff mask).
+- udp/tcp: src and dst port (0xffff) mask.
+
+Supported actions:
+
+- DROP
+- QUEUE
+- PASSTHRU
+
+It is generally not possible to provide a "last" item. However, if the "last"
+item, once masked, is identical to the masked spec, then it is supported.
+
+Only IPv4/6 and MAC addresses can use a variable mask. All other items need a
+full mask (exact match).
+
+As rules are translated to TC, it is possible to show them with something like::
+
+   tc -s filter show dev tap1 parent 1:
+
+Examples of testpmd flow rules
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Drop packets for destination IP 192.168.0.1::
+
+   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 1 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 dst is 1.1.1.1 \
+            / end actions drop / end
+
+Ensure packets from a given MAC address are received on a queue 2::
+
+   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 2 ingress pattern eth src is 06:05:04:03:02:01 \
+            / end actions queue index 2 / end
+
+Drop UDP packets in vlan 3::
+
+   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 3 ingress pattern eth / vlan vid is 3 / \
+            ipv4 proto is 17 / end actions drop / end
+
+Example
+-------
+
+The following is a simple example of using the TUN/TAP PMD with the Pktgen
+packet generator. It requires that the ``socat`` utility is installed on the
+test system.
+
+Build DPDK, then pull down Pktgen and build pktgen using the DPDK SDK/Target
+used to build the dpdk you pulled down.
+
+Run pktgen from the pktgen directory in a terminal with a commandline like the
+following::
+
+    sudo ./app/app/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/pktgen -l 1-5 -n 4        \
+     --proc-type auto --log-level 8 --socket-mem 512,512 --file-prefix pg   \
+     --vdev=net_tap0 --vdev=net_tap1 -b 05:00.0 -b 05:00.1                  \
+     -b 04:00.0 -b 04:00.1 -b 04:00.2 -b 04:00.3                            \
+     -b 81:00.0 -b 81:00.1 -b 81:00.2 -b 81:00.3                            \
+     -b 82:00.0 -b 83:00.0 -- -T -P -m [2:3].0 -m [4:5].1                   \
+     -f themes/black-yellow.theme
+
+.. Note:
+
+   Change the ``-b`` options to blacklist all of your physical ports. The
+   following command line is all one line.
+
+   Also, ``-f themes/black-yellow.theme`` is optional if the default colors
+   work on your system configuration. See the Pktgen docs for more
+   information.
+
+Verify with ``ifconfig -a`` command in a different xterm window, should have a
+``dtap0`` and ``dtap1`` interfaces created.
+
+Next set the links for the two interfaces to up via the commands below::
+
+    sudo ip link set dtap0 up; sudo ip addr add 192.168.0.250/24 dev dtap0
+    sudo ip link set dtap1 up; sudo ip addr add 192.168.1.250/24 dev dtap1
+
+Then use socat to create a loopback for the two interfaces::
+
+    sudo socat interface:dtap0 interface:dtap1
+
+Then on the Pktgen command line interface you can start sending packets using
+the commands ``start 0`` and ``start 1`` or you can start both at the same
+time with ``start all``. The command ``str`` is an alias for ``start all`` and
+``stp`` is an alias for ``stop all``.
+
+While running you should see the 64 byte counters increasing to verify the
+traffic is being looped back. You can use ``set all size XXX`` to change the
+size of the packets after you stop the traffic. Use pktgen ``help``
+command to see a list of all commands. You can also use the ``-f`` option to
+load commands at startup in command line or Lua script in pktgen.

+
+Elastic Flow Distributor Library
+================================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+In Data Centers today, clustering and scheduling of distributed workloads
+is a very common task. Many workloads require a deterministic
+partitioning of a flat key space among a cluster of machines. When a
+packet enters the cluster, the ingress node will direct the packet to
+its handling node. For example, data-centers with disaggregated storage
+use storage metadata tables to forward I/O requests to the correct back end
+storage cluster, stateful packet inspection will use match incoming
+flows to signatures in flow tables to send incoming packets to their
+intended deep packet inspection (DPI) devices, and so on.
+
+EFD is a distributor library that uses perfect hashing to determine a
+target/value for a given incoming flow key. It has the following
+advantages: first, because it uses perfect hashing it does not store the
+key itself and hence lookup performance is not dependent on the key
+size. Second, the target/value can be any arbitrary value hence the
+system designer and/or operator can better optimize service rates and
+inter-cluster network traffic locating. Third, since the storage
+requirement is much smaller than a hash-based flow table (i.e. better
+fit for CPU cache), EFD can scale to millions of flow keys. Finally,
+with the current optimized library implementation, performance is fully
+scalable with any number of CPU cores.
+
+Flow Based Distribution
+-----------------------
+
+Computation Based Schemes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Flow distribution and/or load balancing can be simply done using a
+stateless computation, for instance using round-robin or a simple
+computation based on the flow key as an input. For example, a hash
+function can be used to direct a certain flow to a target based on
+the flow key (e.g. ``h(key) mod n``) where h(key) is the hash value of the
+flow key and n is the number of possible targets.
+
+.. _figure_efd1:
+
+.. figure:: img/efd_i1.*
+
+  Load Balancing Using Front End Node
+
+In this scheme (:numref:`figure_efd1`), the front end server/distributor/load balancer
+extracts the flow key from the input packet and applies a computation to determine where
+this flow should be directed. Intuitively, this scheme is very simple
+and requires no state to be kept at the front end node, and hence,
+storage requirements are minimum.
+
+.. _figure_efd2:
+
+.. figure:: img/efd_i2.*
+
+  Consistent Hashing
+
+A widely used flow distributor that belongs to the same category of
+computation-based schemes is ``consistent hashing``, shown in :numref:`figure_efd2`.
+Target destinations (shown in red) are hashed into the same space as the flow
+keys (shown in blue), and keys are mapped to the nearest target in a clockwise
+fashion. Dynamically adding and removing targets with consistent hashing
+requires only K/n keys to be remapped on average, where K is the number of
+keys, and n is the number of targets. In contrast, in a traditional hash-based
+scheme, a change in the number of targets causes nearly all keys to be
+remapped.
+
+Although computation-based schemes are simple and need very little
+storage requirement, they suffer from the drawback that the system
+designer/operator can’t fully control the target to assign a specific
+key, as this is dictated by the hash function.
+Deterministically co-locating of keys together (for example, to minimize
+inter-server traffic or to optimize for network traffic conditions,
+target load, etc.) is simply not possible.
+
+Flow-Table Based Schemes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When using a Flow-Table based scheme to handle flow distribution/load
+balancing, in contrast with computation-based schemes, the system designer
+has the flexibility of assigning a given flow to any given
+target. The flow table (e.g. DPDK RTE Hash Library) will simply store
+both the flow key and the target value.
+
+.. _figure_efd3:
+
+.. figure:: img/efd_i3.*
+
+  Table Based Flow Distribution
+
+As shown in :numref:`figure_efd3`, when doing a lookup, the flow-table
+is indexed with the hash of the flow key and the keys (more than one is possible,
+because of hash collision) stored in this index and corresponding values
+are retrieved. The retrieved key(s) is matched with the input flow key
+and if there is a match the value (target id) is returned.
+
+The drawback of using a hash table for flow distribution/load balancing
+is the storage requirement, since the flow table need to store keys,
+signatures and target values. This doesn't allow this scheme to scale to
+millions of flow keys. Large tables will usually not fit in
+the CPU cache, and hence, the lookup performance is degraded because of
+the latency to access the main memory.
+
+EFD Based Scheme
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+EFD combines the advantages of both flow-table based and computation-based
+schemes. It doesn't require the large storage necessary for
+flow-table based schemes (because EFD doesn't store the key as explained
+below), and it supports any arbitrary value for any given key.
+
+.. _figure_efd4:
+
+.. figure:: img/efd_i4.*
+
+  Searching for Perfect Hash Function
+
+The basic idea of EFD is when a given key is to be inserted, a family of
+hash functions is searched until the correct hash function that maps the
+input key to the correct value is found, as shown in :numref:`figure_efd4`.
+However, rather than explicitly storing all keys and their associated values,
+EFD stores only indices of hash functions that map keys to values, and
+thereby consumes much less space than conventional flow-based tables.
+The lookup operation is very simple, similar to a computational-based
+scheme: given an input key the lookup operation is reduced to hashing
+that key with the correct hash function.
+
+.. _figure_efd5:
+
+.. figure:: img/efd_i5.*
+
+  Divide and Conquer for Millions of Keys
+
+Intuitively, finding a hash function that maps each of a large number
+(millions) of input keys to the correct output value is effectively
+impossible, as a result EFD, as shown in :numref:`figure_efd5`,
+breaks the problem into smaller pieces (divide and conquer).
+EFD divides the entire input key set into many small groups.
+Each group consists of approximately 20-28 keys (a configurable parameter
+for the library), then, for each small group, a brute force search to find
+a hash function that produces the correct outputs for each key in the group.
+
+It should be mentioned that, since the online lookup table for EFD
+doesn't store the key itself, the size of the EFD table is independent
+of the key size and hence EFD lookup performance which is almost
+constant irrespective of the length of the key which is a highly
+desirable feature especially for longer keys.
+
+In summary, EFD is a set separation data structure that supports millions of
+keys. It is used to distribute a given key to an intended target. By itself
+EFD is not a FIB data structure with an exact match the input flow key.
+
+.. _Efd_example:
+
+Example of EFD Library Usage
+----------------------------
+
+EFD can be used along the data path of many network functions and middleboxes.
+As previously mentioned, it can used as an index table for
+<key,value> pairs, meta-data for objects, a flow-level load balancer, etc.
+:numref:`figure_efd6` shows an example of using EFD as a flow-level load
+balancer, where flows are received at a front end server before being forwarded
+to the target back end server for processing. The system designer would
+deterministically co-locate flows together in order to minimize cross-server
+interaction.
+(For example, flows requesting certain webpage objects are co-located
+together, to minimize forwarding of common objects across servers).
+
+.. _figure_efd6:
+
+.. figure:: img/efd_i6.*
+
+  EFD as a Flow-Level Load Balancer
+
+As shown in :numref:`figure_efd6`, the front end server will have an EFD table that
+stores for each group what is the perfect hash index that satisfies the
+correct output. Because the table size is small and fits in cache (since
+keys are not stored), it sustains a large number of flows (N*X, where N
+is the maximum number of flows served by each back end server of the X
+possible targets).
+
+With an input flow key, the group id is computed (for example, using
+last few bits of CRC hash) and then the EFD table is indexed with the
+group id to retrieve the corresponding hash index to use. Once the index
+is retrieved the key is hashed using this hash function and the result
+will be the intended correct target where this flow is supposed to be
+processed.
+
+It should be noted that as a result of EFD not matching the exact key but
+rather distributing the flows to a target back end node based on the
+perfect hash index, a key that has not been inserted before
+will be distributed to a valid target. Hence, a local table which stores
+the flows served at each node is used and is
+exact matched with the input key to rule out new never seen before
+flows.
+
+.. _Efd_api:
+
+Library API Overview
+--------------------
+
+The EFD library API is created with a very similar semantics of a
+hash-index or a flow table. The application creates an EFD table for a
+given maximum number of flows, a function is called to insert a flow key
+with a specific target value, and another function is used to retrieve
+target values for a given individual flow key or a bulk of keys.
+
+EFD Table Create
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function ``rte_efd_create()`` is used to create and return a pointer
+to an EFD table that is sized to hold up to num_flows key.
+The online version of the EFD table (the one that does
+not store the keys and is used for lookups) will be allocated and
+created in the last level cache (LLC) of the socket defined by the
+online_socket_bitmask, while the offline EFD table (the one that
+stores the keys and is used for key inserts and for computing the
+perfect hashing) is allocated and created in the LLC of the socket
+defined by offline_socket_bitmask. It should be noted, that for
+highest performance the socket id should match that where the thread is
+running, i.e. the online EFD lookup table should be created on the same
+socket as where the lookup thread is running.
+
+EFD Insert and Update
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The EFD function to insert a key or update a key to a new value is
+``rte_efd_update()``. This function will update an existing key to
+a new value (target) if the key has already been inserted
+before, or will insert the <key,value> pair if this key has not been inserted
+before. It will return 0 upon success. It will return
+``EFD_UPDATE_WARN_GROUP_FULL (1)`` if the operation is insert, and the
+last available space in the key's group was just used. It will return
+``EFD_UPDATE_FAILED (2)`` when the insertion or update has failed (either it
+failed to find a suitable perfect hash or the group was full). The function
+will return ``EFD_UPDATE_NO_CHANGE (3)`` if there is no change to the EFD
+table (i.e, same value already exists).
+
+.. Note::
+
+   This function is not multi-thread safe and should only be called
+   from one thread.
+
+EFD Lookup
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To lookup a certain key in an EFD table, the function ``rte_efd_lookup()``
+is used to return the value associated with single key.
+As previously mentioned, if the key has been inserted, the correct value
+inserted is returned, if the key has not been inserted before,
+a ‘random’ value (based on hashing of the key) is returned.
+For better performance and to decrease the overhead of
+function calls per key, it is always recommended to use a bulk lookup
+function (simultaneous lookup of multiple keys) instead of a single key
+lookup function. ``rte_efd_lookup_bulk()`` is the bulk lookup function,
+that looks up num_keys simultaneously stored in the key_list and the
+corresponding return values will be returned in the value_list.
+
+.. Note::
+
+   This function is multi-thread safe, but there should not be other threads
+   writing in the EFD table, unless locks are used.
+
+EFD Delete
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To delete a certain key in an EFD table, the function
+``rte_efd_delete()`` can be used. The function returns zero upon success
+when the key has been found and deleted. Socket_id is the parameter to
+use to lookup the existing value, which is ideally the caller's socket id.
+The previous value associated with this key will be returned
+in the prev_value argument.
+
+.. Note::
+
+   This function is not multi-thread safe and should only be called
+   from one thread.
+
+.. _Efd_internals:
+
+Library Internals
+-----------------
+
+This section provides the brief high-level idea and an overview
+of the library internals to accompany the RFC. The intent of this
+section is to explain to readers the high-level implementation of
+insert, lookup and group rebalancing in the EFD library.
+
+Insert Function Internals
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+As previously mentioned the EFD divides the whole set of keys into
+groups of a manageable size (e.g. 28 keys) and then searches for the
+perfect hash that satisfies the intended target value for each key. EFD
+stores two version of the <key,value> table:
+
+-  Offline Version (in memory): Only used for the insertion/update
+   operation, which is less frequent than the lookup operation. In the
+   offline version the exact keys for each group is stored. When a new
+   key is added, the hash function is updated that will satisfy the
+   value for the new key together with the all old keys already inserted
+   in this group.
+
+-  Online Version (in cache): Used for the frequent lookup operation. In
+   the online version, as previously mentioned, the keys are not stored
+   but rather only the hash index for each group.
+
+.. _figure_efd7:
+
+.. figure:: img/efd_i7.*
+
+  Group Assignment
+
+:numref:`figure_efd7` depicts the group assignment for 7 flow keys as an example.
+Given a flow key, a hash function (in our implementation CRC hash) is
+used to get the group id. As shown in the figure, the groups can be
+unbalanced. (We highlight group rebalancing further below).
+
+.. _figure_efd8:
+
+.. figure:: img/efd_i8.*
+
+  Perfect Hash Search - Assigned Keys & Target Value
+
+Focusing on one group that has four keys, :numref:`figure_efd8` depicts the search
+algorithm to find the perfect hash function. Assuming that the target
+value bit for the keys is as shown in the figure, then the online EFD
+table will store a 16 bit hash index and 16 bit lookup table per group
+per value bit.
+
+.. _figure_efd9:
+
+.. figure:: img/efd_i9.*
+
+  Perfect Hash Search - Satisfy Target Values
+
+For a given keyX, a hash function ``(h(keyX, seed1) + index * h(keyX, seed2))``
+is used to point to certain bit index in the 16bit lookup_table value,
+as shown in :numref:`figure_efd9`.
+The insert function will brute force search for all possible values for the
+hash index until a non conflicting lookup_table is found.
+
+.. _figure_efd10:
+
+.. figure:: img/efd_i10.*
+
+  Finding Hash Index for Conflict Free lookup_table
+
+For example, since both key3 and key7 have a target bit value of 1, it
+is okay if the hash function of both keys point to the same bit in the
+lookup table. A conflict will occur if a hash index is used that maps
+both Key4 and Key7 to the same index in the lookup_table,
+as shown in :numref:`figure_efd10`, since their target value bit are not the same.
+Once a hash index is found that produces a lookup_table with no
+contradictions, this index is stored for this group. This procedure is
+repeated for each bit of target value.
+
+Lookup Function Internals
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The design principle of EFD is that lookups are much more frequent than
+inserts, and hence, EFD's design optimizes for the lookups which are
+faster and much simpler than the slower insert procedure (inserts are
+slow, because of perfect hash search as previously discussed).
+
+.. _figure_efd11:
+
+.. figure:: img/efd_i11.*
+
+  EFD Lookup Operation
+
+:numref:`figure_efd11` depicts the lookup operation for EFD. Given an input key,
+the group id is computed (using CRC hash) and then the hash index for this
+group is retrieved from the EFD table. Using the retrieved hash index,
+the hash function ``h(key, seed1) + index *h(key, seed2)`` is used which will
+result in an index in the lookup_table, the bit corresponding to this
+index will be the target value bit. This procedure is repeated for each
+bit of the target value.
+
+Group Rebalancing Function Internals
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When discussing EFD inserts and lookups, the discussion is simplified by
+assuming that a group id is simply a result of hash function. However,
+since hashing in general is not perfect and will not always produce a
+uniform output, this simplified assumption will lead to unbalanced
+groups, i.e., some group will have more keys than other groups.
+Typically, and to minimize insert time with an increasing number of keys,
+it is preferable that all groups will have a balanced number of keys, so
+the brute force search for the perfect hash terminates with a valid hash
+index. In order to achieve this target, groups are rebalanced during
+runtime inserts, and keys are moved around from a busy group to a less
+crowded group as the more keys are inserted.
+
+.. _figure_efd12:
+
+.. figure:: img/efd_i12.*
+
+  Runtime Group Rebalancing
+
+:numref:`figure_efd12` depicts the high level idea of group rebalancing, given an
+input key the hash result is split into two parts a chunk id and 8-bit
+bin id. A chunk contains 64 different groups and 256 bins (i.e. for any
+given bin it can map to 4 distinct groups). When a key is inserted, the
+bin id is computed, for example in :numref:`figure_efd12` bin_id=2,
+and since each bin can be mapped to one of four different groups (2 bit storage),
+the four possible mappings are evaluated and the one that will result in a
+balanced key distribution across these four is selected the mapping result
+is stored in these two bits.

-KNI Working as a Kernel vHost Backend
--------------------------------------
-
-vHost is a kernel module usually working as the backend of virtio (a para- virtualization driver framework)
-to accelerate the traffic from the guest to the host.
-The DPDK Kernel NIC interface provides the ability to hookup vHost traffic into userspace DPDK application.
-Together with the DPDK PMD virtio, it significantly improves the throughput between guest and host.
-In the scenario where DPDK is running as fast path in the host, kni-vhost is an efficient path for the traffic.
-
-Overview
-~~~~~~~~
-
-vHost-net has three kinds of real backend implementations. They are: 1) tap, 2) macvtap and 3) RAW socket.
-The main idea behind kni-vhost is making the KNI work as a RAW socket, attaching it as the backend instance of vHost-net.
-It is using the existing interface with vHost-net, so it does not require any kernel hacking,
-and is fully-compatible with the kernel vhost module.
-As vHost is still taking responsibility for communicating with the front-end virtio,
-it naturally supports both legacy virtio -net and the DPDK PMD virtio.
-There is a little penalty that comes from the non-polling mode of vhost.
-However, it scales throughput well when using KNI in multi-thread mode.
-
-.. _figure_vhost_net_arch2:
-
-.. figure:: img/vhost_net_arch.*
-
-   vHost-net Architecture Overview
-
-
-Packet Flow
-~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-There is only a minor difference from the original KNI traffic flows.
-On transmit side, vhost kthread calls the RAW socket's ops sendmsg and it puts the packets into the KNI transmit FIFO.
-On the receive side, the kni kthread gets packets from the KNI receive FIFO, puts them into the queue of the raw socket,
-and wakes up the task in vhost kthread to begin receiving.
-All the packet copying, irrespective of whether it is on the transmit or receive side,
-happens in the context of vhost kthread.
-Every vhost-net device is exposed to a front end virtio device in the guest.
-
-.. _figure_kni_traffic_flow:
-
-.. figure:: img/kni_traffic_flow.*
-
-   KNI Traffic Flow
-
-
-Sample Usage
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Before starting to use KNI as the backend of vhost, the CONFIG_RTE_KNI_VHOST configuration option must be turned on.
-Otherwise, by default, KNI will not enable its backend support capability.
-
-Of course, as a prerequisite, the vhost/vhost-net kernel CONFIG should be chosen before compiling the kernel.
-
-#.  Compile the DPDK and insert uio_pci_generic/igb_uio kernel modules as normal.
-
-#.  Insert the KNI kernel module:
-
-    .. code-block:: console
-
-        insmod ./rte_kni.ko
-
-    If using KNI in multi-thread mode, use the following command line:
-
-    .. code-block:: console
-
-        insmod ./rte_kni.ko kthread_mode=multiple
-
-#.  Running the KNI sample application:
-
-    .. code-block:: console
-
-        examples/kni/build/app/kni -c -0xf0 -n 4 -- -p 0x3 -P --config="(0,4,6),(1,5,7)"
-
-    This command runs the kni sample application with two physical ports.
-    Each port pins two forwarding cores (ingress/egress) in user space.
-
-#.  Assign a raw socket to vhost-net during qemu-kvm startup.
-    The DPDK does not provide a script to do this since it is easy for the user to customize.
-    The following shows the key steps to launch qemu-kvm with kni-vhost:
-
-    .. code-block:: bash
-
-        #!/bin/bash
-        echo 1 > /sys/class/net/vEth0/sock_en
-        fd=`cat /sys/class/net/vEth0/sock_fd`
-        qemu-kvm \
-        -name vm1 -cpu host -m 2048 -smp 1 -hda /opt/vm-fc16.img \
-        -netdev tap,fd=$fd,id=hostnet1,vhost=on \
-        -device virti-net-pci,netdev=hostnet1,id=net1,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4
-
-It is simple to enable raw socket using sysfs sock_en and get raw socket fd using sock_fd under the KNI device node.
-
-Then, using the qemu-kvm command with the -netdev option to assign such raw socket fd as vhost's backend.
-
-.. note::
-
-    The key word tap must exist as qemu-kvm now only supports vhost with a tap backend, so here we cheat qemu-kvm by an existing fd.
-
-Compatibility Configure Option
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-There is a CONFIG_RTE_KNI_VHOST_VNET_HDR_EN configuration option in DPDK configuration file.
-By default, it set to n, which means do not turn on the virtio net header,
-which is used to support additional features (such as, csum offload, vlan offload, generic-segmentation and so on),
-since the kni-vhost does not yet support those features.
-
-Even if the option is turned on, kni-vhost will ignore the information that the header contains.
-When working with legacy virtio on the guest, it is better to turn off unsupported offload features using ethtool -K.
-Otherwise, there may be problems such as an incorrect L4 checksum error.

+
+Metrics Library
+===============
+
+The Metrics library implements a mechanism by which *producers* can
+publish numeric information for later querying by *consumers*. In
+practice producers will typically be other libraries or primary
+processes, whereas consumers will typically be applications.
+
+Metrics themselves are statistics that are not generated by PMDs. Metric
+information is populated using a push model, where producers update the
+values contained within the metric library by calling an update function
+on the relevant metrics. Consumers receive metric information by querying
+the central metric data, which is held in shared memory.
+
+For each metric, a separate value is maintained for each port id, and
+when publishing metric values the producers need to specify which port is
+being updated. In addition there is a special id ``RTE_METRICS_GLOBAL``
+that is intended for global statistics that are not associated with any
+individual device. Since the metrics library is self-contained, the only
+restriction on port numbers is that they are less than ``RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS``
+- there is no requirement for the ports to actually exist.
+
+Initialising the library
+------------------------
+
+Before the library can be used, it has to be initialized by calling
+``rte_metrics_init()`` which sets up the metric store in shared memory.
+This is where producers will publish metric information to, and where
+consumers will query it from.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    rte_metrics_init(rte_socket_id());
+
+This function **must** be called from a primary process, but otherwise
+producers and consumers can be in either primary or secondary processes.
+
+Registering metrics
+-------------------
+
+Metrics must first be *registered*, which is the way producers declare
+the names of the metrics they will be publishing. Registration can either
+be done individually, or a set of metrics can be registered as a group.
+Individual registration is done using ``rte_metrics_reg_name()``:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    id_1 = rte_metrics_reg_name("mean_bits_in");
+    id_2 = rte_metrics_reg_name("mean_bits_out");
+    id_3 = rte_metrics_reg_name("peak_bits_in");
+    id_4 = rte_metrics_reg_name("peak_bits_out");
+
+or alternatively, a set of metrics can be registered together using
+``rte_metrics_reg_names()``:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    const char * const names[] = {
+        "mean_bits_in", "mean_bits_out",
+        "peak_bits_in", "peak_bits_out",
+    };
+    id_set = rte_metrics_reg_names(&names[0], 4);
+
+If the return value is negative, it means registration failed. Otherwise
+the return value is the *key* for the metric, which is used when updating
+values. A table mapping together these key values and the metrics' names
+can be obtained using ``rte_metrics_get_names()``.
+
+Updating metric values
+----------------------
+
+Once registered, producers can update the metric for a given port using
+the ``rte_metrics_update_value()`` function. This uses the metric key
+that is returned when registering the metric, and can also be looked up
+using ``rte_metrics_get_names()``.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    rte_metrics_update_value(port_id, id_1, values[0]);
+    rte_metrics_update_value(port_id, id_2, values[1]);
+    rte_metrics_update_value(port_id, id_3, values[2]);
+    rte_metrics_update_value(port_id, id_4, values[3]);
+
+if metrics were registered as a single set, they can either be updated
+individually using ``rte_metrics_update_value()``, or updated together
+using the ``rte_metrics_update_values()`` function:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    rte_metrics_update_value(port_id, id_set, values[0]);
+    rte_metrics_update_value(port_id, id_set + 1, values[1]);
+    rte_metrics_update_value(port_id, id_set + 2, values[2]);
+    rte_metrics_update_value(port_id, id_set + 3, values[3]);
+
+    rte_metrics_update_values(port_id, id_set, values, 4);
+
+Note that ``rte_metrics_update_values()`` cannot be used to update
+metric values from *multiple* *sets*, as there is no guarantee two
+sets registered one after the other have contiguous id values.
+
+Querying metrics
+----------------
+
+Consumers can obtain metric values by querying the metrics library using
+the ``rte_metrics_get_values()`` function that return an array of
+``struct rte_metric_value``. Each entry within this array contains a metric
+value and its associated key. A key-name mapping can be obtained using the
+``rte_metrics_get_names()`` function that returns an array of
+``struct rte_metric_name`` that is indexed by the key. The following will
+print out all metrics for a given port:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    void print_metrics() {
+        struct rte_metric_name *names;
+        int len;
+
+        len = rte_metrics_get_names(NULL, 0);
+        if (len < 0) {
+            printf("Cannot get metrics count\n");
+            return;
+        }
+        if (len == 0) {
+            printf("No metrics to display (none have been registered)\n");
+            return;
+        }
+        metrics = malloc(sizeof(struct rte_metric_value) * len);
+        names =  malloc(sizeof(struct rte_metric_name) * len);
+        if (metrics == NULL || names == NULL) {
+            printf("Cannot allocate memory\n");
+            free(metrics);
+            free(names);
+            return;
+        }
+        ret = rte_metrics_get_values(port_id, metrics, len);
+        if (ret < 0 || ret > len) {
+            printf("Cannot get metrics values\n");
+            free(metrics);
+            free(names);
+            return;
+        }
+        printf("Metrics for port %i:\n", port_id);
+        for (i = 0; i < len; i++)
+            printf("  %s: %"PRIu64"\n",
+                names[metrics[i].key].name, metrics[i].value);
+        free(metrics);
+        free(names);
+    }
+
+
+Bit-rate statistics library
+---------------------------
+
+The bit-rate library calculates the exponentially-weighted moving
+average and peak bit-rates for each active port (i.e. network device).
+These statistics are reported via the metrics library using the
+following names:
+
+    - ``mean_bits_in``: Average inbound bit-rate
+    - ``mean_bits_out``:  Average outbound bit-rate
+    - ``ewma_bits_in``: Average inbound bit-rate (EWMA smoothed)
+    - ``ewma_bits_out``:  Average outbound bit-rate (EWMA smoothed)
+    - ``peak_bits_in``:  Peak inbound bit-rate
+    - ``peak_bits_out``:  Peak outbound bit-rate
+
+Once initialised and clocked at the appropriate frequency, these
+statistics can be obtained by querying the metrics library.
+
+Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Before the library can be used, it has to be initialised by calling
+``rte_stats_bitrate_create()``, which will return a bit-rate
+calculation object. Since the bit-rate library uses the metrics library
+to report the calculated statistics, the bit-rate library then needs to
+register the calculated statistics with the metrics library. This is
+done using the helper function ``rte_stats_bitrate_reg()``.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    struct rte_stats_bitrates *bitrate_data;
+
+    bitrate_data = rte_stats_bitrate_create();
+    if (bitrate_data == NULL)
+        rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Could not allocate bit-rate data.\n");
+    rte_stats_bitrate_reg(bitrate_data);
+
+Controlling the sampling rate
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Since the library works by periodic sampling but does not use an
+internal thread, the application has to periodically call
+``rte_stats_bitrate_calc()``. The frequency at which this function
+is called should be the intended sampling rate required for the
+calculated statistics. For instance if per-second statistics are
+desired, this function should be called once a second.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    tics_datum = rte_rdtsc();
+    tics_per_1sec = rte_get_timer_hz();
+
+    while( 1 ) {
+        /* ... */
+        tics_current = rte_rdtsc();
+	if (tics_current - tics_datum >= tics_per_1sec) {
+	    /* Periodic bitrate calculation */
+	    for (idx_port = 0; idx_port < cnt_ports; idx_port++)
+	            rte_stats_bitrate_calc(bitrate_data, idx_port);
+		tics_datum = tics_current;
+	    }
+        /* ... */
+    }
+
+
+Latency statistics library
+--------------------------
+
+The latency statistics library calculates the latency of packet
+processing by a DPDK application, reporting the minimum, average,
+and maximum nano-seconds that packet processing takes, as well as
+the jitter in processing delay. These statistics are then reported
+via the metrics library using the following names:
+
+    - ``min_latency_ns``: Minimum processing latency (nano-seconds)
+    - ``avg_latency_ns``:  Average  processing latency (nano-seconds)
+    - ``mac_latency_ns``:  Maximum  processing latency (nano-seconds)
+    - ``jitter_ns``: Variance in processing latency (nano-seconds)
+
+Once initialised and clocked at the appropriate frequency, these
+statistics can be obtained by querying the metrics library.
+
+Initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Before the library can be used, it has to be initialised by calling
+``rte_latencystats_init()``.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    lcoreid_t latencystats_lcore_id = -1;
+
+    int ret = rte_latencystats_init(1, NULL);
+    if (ret)
+        rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Could not allocate latency data.\n");
+
+
+Triggering statistic updates
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``rte_latencystats_update()`` function needs to be called
+periodically so that latency statistics can be updated.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    if (latencystats_lcore_id == rte_lcore_id())
+        rte_latencystats_update();
+
+Library shutdown
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When finished, ``rte_latencystats_uninit()`` needs to be called to
+de-initialise the latency library.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    rte_latencystats_uninit();

+This API requests the driver to release mbufs that are no longer in use,

+There are two scenarios when an application may want the mbuf released immediately:
+
+* When a given packet needs to be sent to multiple destination interfaces
+  (either for Layer 2 flooding or Layer 3 multi-cast).
+  One option is to make a copy of the packet or a copy of the header portion that needs to be manipulated.
+  A second option is to transmit the packet and then poll the ``rte_eth_tx_done_cleanup()`` API
+  until the reference count on the packet is decremented.
+  Then the same packet can be transmitted to the next destination interface.
+  The application is still responsible for managing any packet manipulations needed
+  between the different destination interfaces, but a packet copy can be avoided.
+  This API is independent of whether the packet was transmitted or dropped,
+  only that the mbuf is no longer in use by the interface.
+
+* Some applications are designed to make multiple runs, like a packet generator.
+  For performance reasons and consistency between runs,
+  the application may want to reset back to an initial state
+  between each run, where all mbufs are returned to the mempool.

+  for each destination interface it has been using

+The API is built out of a small number of functions, which can be used to
+retrieve the number of statistics and the names, IDs and values of those
+statistics.
+
+* ``rte_eth_xstats_get_names_by_id()``: returns the names of the statistics. When given a
+  ``NULL`` parameter the function returns the number of statistics that are available.
+
+* ``rte_eth_xstats_get_id_by_name()``: Searches for the statistic ID that matches
+  ``xstat_name``. If found, the ``id`` integer is set.
+
+* ``rte_eth_xstats_get_by_id()``: Fills in an array of ``uint64_t`` values
+  with matching the provided ``ids`` array. If the ``ids`` array is NULL, it
+  returns all statistics that are available.
+
+
+Application Usage
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Imagine an application that wants to view the dropped packet count. If no
+packets are dropped, the application does not read any other metrics for
+performance reasons. If packets are dropped, the application has a particular
+set of statistics that it requests. This "set" of statistics allows the app to
+decide what next steps to perform. The following code-snippets show how the
+xstats API can be used to achieve this goal.
+
+First step is to get all statistics names and list them:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    struct rte_eth_xstat_name *xstats_names;
+    uint64_t *values;
+    int len, i;
+
+    /* Get number of stats */
+    len = rte_eth_xstats_get_names_by_id(port_id, NULL, NULL, 0);
+    if (len < 0) {
+        printf("Cannot get xstats count\n");
+        goto err;
+    }
+
+    xstats_names = malloc(sizeof(struct rte_eth_xstat_name) * len);
+    if (xstats_names == NULL) {
+        printf("Cannot allocate memory for xstat names\n");
+        goto err;
+    }
+
+    /* Retrieve xstats names, passing NULL for IDs to return all statistics */
+    if (len != rte_eth_xstats_get_names_by_id(port_id, xstats_names, NULL, len)) {
+        printf("Cannot get xstat names\n");
+        goto err;
+    }
+
+    values = malloc(sizeof(values) * len);
+    if (values == NULL) {
+        printf("Cannot allocate memory for xstats\n");
+        goto err;
+    }
+
+    /* Getting xstats values */
+    if (len != rte_eth_xstats_get_by_id(port_id, NULL, values, len)) {
+        printf("Cannot get xstat values\n");
+        goto err;
+    }
+
+    /* Print all xstats names and values */
+    for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
+        printf("%s: %"PRIu64"\n", xstats_names[i].name, values[i]);
+    }
+
+The application has access to the names of all of the statistics that the PMD
+exposes. The application can decide which statistics are of interest, cache the
+ids of those statistics by looking up the name as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    uint64_t id;
+    uint64_t value;
+    const char *xstat_name = "rx_errors";
+
+    if(!rte_eth_xstats_get_id_by_name(port_id, xstat_name, &id)) {
+        rte_eth_xstats_get_by_id(port_id, &id, &value, 1);
+        printf("%s: %"PRIu64"\n", xstat_name, value);
+    }
+    else {
+        printf("Cannot find xstats with a given name\n");
+        goto err;
+    }
+
+The API provides flexibility to the application so that it can look up multiple
+statistics using an array containing multiple ``id`` numbers. This reduces the
+function call overhead of retrieving statistics, and makes lookup of multiple
+statistics simpler for the application.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    #define APP_NUM_STATS 4
+    /* application cached these ids previously; see above */
+    uint64_t ids_array[APP_NUM_STATS] = {3,4,7,21};
+    uint64_t value_array[APP_NUM_STATS];
+
+    /* Getting multiple xstats values from array of IDs */
+    rte_eth_xstats_get_by_id(port_id, ids_array, value_array, APP_NUM_STATS);
+
+    uint32_t i;
+    for(i = 0; i < APP_NUM_STATS; i++) {
+        printf("%d: %"PRIu64"\n", ids_array[i], value_array[i]);
+    }
+
+
+This array lookup API for xstats allows the application create multiple
+"groups" of statistics, and look up the values of those IDs using a single API
+call. As an end result, the application is able to achieve its goal of
+monitoring a single statistic ("rx_errors" in this case), and if that shows
+packets being dropped, it can easily retrieve a "set" of statistics using the
+IDs array parameter to ``rte_eth_xstats_get_by_id`` function.

+
+Generic flow API (rte_flow)
+===========================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+This API provides a generic means to configure hardware to match specific
+ingress or egress traffic, alter its fate and query related counters
+according to any number of user-defined rules.
+
+It is named *rte_flow* after the prefix used for all its symbols, and is
+defined in ``rte_flow.h``.
+
+- Matching can be performed on packet data (protocol headers, payload) and
+  properties (e.g. associated physical port, virtual device function ID).
+
+- Possible operations include dropping traffic, diverting it to specific
+  queues, to virtual/physical device functions or ports, performing tunnel
+  offloads, adding marks and so on.
+
+It is slightly higher-level than the legacy filtering framework which it
+encompasses and supersedes (including all functions and filter types) in
+order to expose a single interface with an unambiguous behavior that is
+common to all poll-mode drivers (PMDs).
+
+Several methods to migrate existing applications are described in `API
+migration`_.
+
+Flow rule
+---------
+
+Description
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A flow rule is the combination of attributes with a matching pattern and a
+list of actions. Flow rules form the basis of this API.
+
+Flow rules can have several distinct actions (such as counting,
+encapsulating, decapsulating before redirecting packets to a particular
+queue, etc.), instead of relying on several rules to achieve this and having
+applications deal with hardware implementation details regarding their
+order.
+
+Support for different priority levels on a rule basis is provided, for
+example in order to force a more specific rule to come before a more generic
+one for packets matched by both. However hardware support for more than a
+single priority level cannot be guaranteed. When supported, the number of
+available priority levels is usually low, which is why they can also be
+implemented in software by PMDs (e.g. missing priority levels may be
+emulated by reordering rules).
+
+In order to remain as hardware-agnostic as possible, by default all rules
+are considered to have the same priority, which means that the order between
+overlapping rules (when a packet is matched by several filters) is
+undefined.
+
+PMDs may refuse to create overlapping rules at a given priority level when
+they can be detected (e.g. if a pattern matches an existing filter).
+
+Thus predictable results for a given priority level can only be achieved
+with non-overlapping rules, using perfect matching on all protocol layers.
+
+Flow rules can also be grouped, the flow rule priority is specific to the
+group they belong to. All flow rules in a given group are thus processed
+either before or after another group.
+
+Support for multiple actions per rule may be implemented internally on top
+of non-default hardware priorities, as a result both features may not be
+simultaneously available to applications.
+
+Considering that allowed pattern/actions combinations cannot be known in
+advance and would result in an impractically large number of capabilities to
+expose, a method is provided to validate a given rule from the current
+device configuration state.
+
+This enables applications to check if the rule types they need is supported
+at initialization time, before starting their data path. This method can be
+used anytime, its only requirement being that the resources needed by a rule
+should exist (e.g. a target RX queue should be configured first).
+
+Each defined rule is associated with an opaque handle managed by the PMD,
+applications are responsible for keeping it. These can be used for queries
+and rules management, such as retrieving counters or other data and
+destroying them.
+
+To avoid resource leaks on the PMD side, handles must be explicitly
+destroyed by the application before releasing associated resources such as
+queues and ports.
+
+The following sections cover:
+
+- **Attributes** (represented by ``struct rte_flow_attr``): properties of a
+  flow rule such as its direction (ingress or egress) and priority.
+
+- **Pattern item** (represented by ``struct rte_flow_item``): part of a
+  matching pattern that either matches specific packet data or traffic
+  properties. It can also describe properties of the pattern itself, such as
+  inverted matching.
+
+- **Matching pattern**: traffic properties to look for, a combination of any
+  number of items.
+
+- **Actions** (represented by ``struct rte_flow_action``): operations to
+  perform whenever a packet is matched by a pattern.
+
+Attributes
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Attribute: Group
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Flow rules can be grouped by assigning them a common group number. Lower
+values have higher priority. Group 0 has the highest priority.
+
+Although optional, applications are encouraged to group similar rules as
+much as possible to fully take advantage of hardware capabilities
+(e.g. optimized matching) and work around limitations (e.g. a single pattern
+type possibly allowed in a given group).
+
+Note that support for more than a single group is not guaranteed.
+
+Attribute: Priority
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+A priority level can be assigned to a flow rule. Like groups, lower values
+denote higher priority, with 0 as the maximum.
+
+A rule with priority 0 in group 8 is always matched after a rule with
+priority 8 in group 0.
+
+Group and priority levels are arbitrary and up to the application, they do
+not need to be contiguous nor start from 0, however the maximum number
+varies between devices and may be affected by existing flow rules.
+
+If a packet is matched by several rules of a given group for a given
+priority level, the outcome is undefined. It can take any path, may be
+duplicated or even cause unrecoverable errors.
+
+Note that support for more than a single priority level is not guaranteed.
+
+Attribute: Traffic direction
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Flow rules can apply to inbound and/or outbound traffic (ingress/egress).
+
+Several pattern items and actions are valid and can be used in both
+directions. At least one direction must be specified.
+
+Specifying both directions at once for a given rule is not recommended but
+may be valid in a few cases (e.g. shared counters).
+
+Pattern item
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Pattern items fall in two categories:
+
+- Matching protocol headers and packet data (ANY, RAW, ETH, VLAN, IPV4,
+  IPV6, ICMP, UDP, TCP, SCTP, VXLAN, MPLS, GRE and so on), usually
+  associated with a specification structure.
+
+- Matching meta-data or affecting pattern processing (END, VOID, INVERT, PF,
+  VF, PORT and so on), often without a specification structure.
+
+Item specification structures are used to match specific values among
+protocol fields (or item properties). Documentation describes for each item
+whether they are associated with one and their type name if so.
+
+Up to three structures of the same type can be set for a given item:
+
+- ``spec``: values to match (e.g. a given IPv4 address).
+
+- ``last``: upper bound for an inclusive range with corresponding fields in
+  ``spec``.
+
+- ``mask``: bit-mask applied to both ``spec`` and ``last`` whose purpose is
+  to distinguish the values to take into account and/or partially mask them
+  out (e.g. in order to match an IPv4 address prefix).
+
+Usage restrictions and expected behavior:
+
+- Setting either ``mask`` or ``last`` without ``spec`` is an error.
+
+- Field values in ``last`` which are either 0 or equal to the corresponding
+  values in ``spec`` are ignored; they do not generate a range. Nonzero
+  values lower than those in ``spec`` are not supported.
+
+- Setting ``spec`` and optionally ``last`` without ``mask`` causes the PMD
+  to use the default mask defined for that item (defined as
+  ``rte_flow_item_{name}_mask`` constants).
+
+- Not setting any of them (assuming item type allows it) is equivalent to
+  providing an empty (zeroed) ``mask`` for broad (nonspecific) matching.
+
+- ``mask`` is a simple bit-mask applied before interpreting the contents of
+  ``spec`` and ``last``, which may yield unexpected results if not used
+  carefully. For example, if for an IPv4 address field, ``spec`` provides
+  *10.1.2.3*, ``last`` provides *10.3.4.5* and ``mask`` provides
+  *255.255.0.0*, the effective range becomes *10.1.0.0* to *10.3.255.255*.
+
+Example of an item specification matching an Ethernet header:
+
+.. _table_rte_flow_pattern_item_example:

+   +----------+----------+--------------------+
+
+Non-masked bits stand for any value (shown as ``?`` below), Ethernet headers
+with the following properties are thus matched:
+
+- ``src``: ``??:01:02:03:??``
+- ``dst``: ``??:??:??:??:01``
+- ``type``: ``0x????``
+
+Matching pattern
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A pattern is formed by stacking items starting from the lowest protocol
+layer to match. This stacking restriction does not apply to meta items which
+can be placed anywhere in the stack without affecting the meaning of the
+resulting pattern.
+
+Patterns are terminated by END items.

+   +-------+----------+
+
+The above example shows how meta items do not affect packet data matching
+items, as long as those remain stacked properly. The resulting matching
+pattern is identical to "TCPv4 as L4".

+   | 2     | END  |
+   +-------+------+
+
+If supported by the PMD, omitting one or several protocol layers at the
+bottom of the stack as in the above example (missing an Ethernet
+specification) enables looking up anywhere in packets.
+
+It is unspecified whether the payload of supported encapsulations
+(e.g. VXLAN payload) is matched by such a pattern, which may apply to inner,
+outer or both packets.
+
+.. _table_rte_flow_invalid_l3:

+   +-------+----------+
+   | 2     | END      |
+   +-------+----------+
+
+The above pattern is invalid due to a missing L3 specification between L2
+(Ethernet) and L4 (UDP). Doing so is only allowed at the bottom and at the
+top of the stack.
+
+Meta item types
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+They match meta-data or affect pattern processing instead of matching packet
+data directly, most of them do not need a specification structure. This
+particularity allows them to be specified anywhere in the stack without
+causing any side effect.
+

+End marker for item lists. Prevents further processing of items, thereby

+Item: ``PF``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Matches packets addressed to the physical function of the device.
+
+If the underlying device function differs from the one that would normally
+receive the matched traffic, specifying this item prevents it from reaching
+that device unless the flow rule contains a `Action: PF`_. Packets are not
+duplicated between device instances by default.
+
+- Likely to return an error or never match any traffic if applied to a VF
+  device.
+- Can be combined with any number of `Item: VF`_ to match both PF and VF
+  traffic.
+- ``spec``, ``last`` and ``mask`` must not be set.

+
+Matches packets addressed to a virtual function ID of the device.
+
+If the underlying device function differs from the one that would normally
+receive the matched traffic, specifying this item prevents it from reaching
+that device unless the flow rule contains a `Action: VF`_. Packets are not
+duplicated between device instances by default.
+
+- Likely to return an error or never match any traffic if this causes a VF
+  device to match traffic addressed to a different VF.
+- Can be specified multiple times to match traffic addressed to several VF
+  IDs.
+- Can be combined with a PF item to match both PF and VF traffic.
+- Default ``mask`` matches any VF ID.

+Item: ``PORT``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Matches packets coming from the specified physical port of the underlying
+device.
+
+The first PORT item overrides the physical port normally associated with the
+specified DPDK input port (port_id). This item can be provided several times
+to match additional physical ports.
+
+Note that physical ports are not necessarily tied to DPDK input ports
+(port_id) when those are not under DPDK control. Possible values are
+specific to each device, they are not necessarily indexed from zero and may
+not be contiguous.
+
+As a device property, the list of allowed values as well as the value
+associated with a port_id should be retrieved by other means.

+Data matching item types
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Most of these are basically protocol header definitions with associated
+bit-masks. They must be specified (stacked) from lowest to highest protocol
+layer to form a matching pattern.
+
+The following list is not exhaustive, new protocols will be added in the
+future.
+
+Item: ``ANY``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Matches any protocol in place of the current layer, a single ANY may also
+stand for several protocol layers.
+
+This is usually specified as the first pattern item when looking for a
+protocol anywhere in a packet.
+
+- Default ``mask`` stands for any number of layers.

+   +-------+------------------------------------+
+
+Item: ``RAW``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Matches a byte string of a given length at a given offset.
+
+Offset is either absolute (using the start of the packet) or relative to the
+end of the previous matched item in the stack, in which case negative values
+are allowed.
+
+If search is enabled, offset is used as the starting point. The search area
+can be delimited by setting limit to a nonzero value, which is the maximum
+number of bytes after offset where the pattern may start.
+
+Matching a zero-length pattern is allowed, doing so resets the relative
+offset for subsequent items.
+
+- This type does not support ranges (``last`` field).
+- Default ``mask`` matches all fields exactly.

+This translates to:

+- Locate "foo" at least 10 bytes deep inside UDP payload.
+- Locate "bar" after "foo" plus 20 bytes.

+
+Actions
+~~~~~~~
+
+Each possible action is represented by a type. Some have associated
+configuration structures. Several actions combined in a list can be affected
+to a flow rule. That list is not ordered.
+
+They fall in three categories:
+
+- Terminating actions (such as QUEUE, DROP, RSS, PF, VF) that prevent
+  processing matched packets by subsequent flow rules, unless overridden
+  with PASSTHRU.
+
+- Non-terminating actions (PASSTHRU, DUP) that leave matched packets up for
+  additional processing by subsequent flow rules.
+
+- Other non-terminating meta actions that do not affect the fate of packets
+  (END, VOID, MARK, FLAG, COUNT).
+
+When several actions are combined in a flow rule, they should all have
+different types (e.g. dropping a packet twice is not possible).
+
+Only the last action of a given type is taken into account. PMDs still
+perform error checking on the entire list.
+
+Like matching patterns, action lists are terminated by END items.
+
+*Note that PASSTHRU is the only action able to override a terminating rule.*
+
+Example of action that redirects packets to queue index 10:

+   | 2     | END                        |
+   +-------+----------------------------+
+
+In the above example, considering both actions are performed simultaneously,
+the end result is that only QUEUE has any effect.

+   | 3     | END                        |
+   +-------+----------------------------+
+
+As previously described, only the last action of a given type found in the
+list is taken into account. The above example also shows that VOID is
+ignored.

+Packets matched by a VF pattern item can be redirected to their original VF

+
+Negative types
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+All specified pattern items (``enum rte_flow_item_type``) and actions
+(``enum rte_flow_action_type``) use positive identifiers.
+
+The negative space is reserved for dynamic types generated by PMDs during
+run-time. PMDs may encounter them as a result but must not accept negative
+identifiers they are not aware of.
+
+A method to generate them remains to be defined.
+
+Planned types
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Pattern item types will be added as new protocols are implemented.
+
+Variable headers support through dedicated pattern items, for example in
+order to match specific IPv4 options and IPv6 extension headers would be
+stacked after IPv4/IPv6 items.
+
+Other action types are planned but are not defined yet. These include the
+ability to alter packet data in several ways, such as performing
+encapsulation/decapsulation of tunnel headers.
+
+Rules management
+----------------
+
+A rather simple API with few functions is provided to fully manage flow
+rules.
+
+Each created flow rule is associated with an opaque, PMD-specific handle
+pointer. The application is responsible for keeping it until the rule is
+destroyed.
+
+Flows rules are represented by ``struct rte_flow`` objects.
+
+Validation
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Given that expressing a definite set of device capabilities is not
+practical, a dedicated function is provided to check if a flow rule is
+supported and can be created.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   int
+   rte_flow_validate(uint8_t port_id,
+                     const struct rte_flow_attr *attr,
+                     const struct rte_flow_item pattern[],
+                     const struct rte_flow_action actions[],
+                     struct rte_flow_error *error);
+
+The flow rule is validated for correctness and whether it could be accepted
+by the device given sufficient resources. The rule is checked against the
+current device mode and queue configuration. The flow rule may also
+optionally be validated against existing flow rules and device resources.
+This function has no effect on the target device.
+
+The returned value is guaranteed to remain valid only as long as no
+successful calls to ``rte_flow_create()`` or ``rte_flow_destroy()`` are made
+in the meantime and no device parameter affecting flow rules in any way are
+modified, due to possible collisions or resource limitations (although in
+such cases ``EINVAL`` should not be returned).
+
+Arguments:
+
+- ``port_id``: port identifier of Ethernet device.
+- ``attr``: flow rule attributes.
+- ``pattern``: pattern specification (list terminated by the END pattern
+  item).
+- ``actions``: associated actions (list terminated by the END action).
+- ``error``: perform verbose error reporting if not NULL. PMDs initialize
+  this structure in case of error only.
+
+Return values:
+
+- 0 if flow rule is valid and can be created. A negative errno value
+  otherwise (``rte_errno`` is also set), the following errors are defined.
+- ``-ENOSYS``: underlying device does not support this functionality.
+- ``-EINVAL``: unknown or invalid rule specification.
+- ``-ENOTSUP``: valid but unsupported rule specification (e.g. partial
+  bit-masks are unsupported).
+- ``EEXIST``: collision with an existing rule. Only returned if device
+  supports flow rule collision checking and there was a flow rule
+  collision. Not receiving this return code is no guarantee that creating
+  the rule will not fail due to a collision.
+- ``ENOMEM``: not enough memory to execute the function, or if the device
+  supports resource validation, resource limitation on the device.
+- ``-EBUSY``: action cannot be performed due to busy device resources, may
+  succeed if the affected queues or even the entire port are in a stopped
+  state (see ``rte_eth_dev_rx_queue_stop()`` and ``rte_eth_dev_stop()``).
+
+Creation
+~~~~~~~~
+
+Creating a flow rule is similar to validating one, except the rule is
+actually created and a handle returned.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   struct rte_flow *
+   rte_flow_create(uint8_t port_id,
+                   const struct rte_flow_attr *attr,
+                   const struct rte_flow_item pattern[],
+                   const struct rte_flow_action *actions[],
+                   struct rte_flow_error *error);
+
+Arguments:
+
+- ``port_id``: port identifier of Ethernet device.
+- ``attr``: flow rule attributes.
+- ``pattern``: pattern specification (list terminated by the END pattern
+  item).
+- ``actions``: associated actions (list terminated by the END action).
+- ``error``: perform verbose error reporting if not NULL. PMDs initialize
+  this structure in case of error only.
+
+Return values:
+
+A valid handle in case of success, NULL otherwise and ``rte_errno`` is set
+to the positive version of one of the error codes defined for
+``rte_flow_validate()``.
+
+Destruction
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Flow rules destruction is not automatic, and a queue or a port should not be
+released if any are still attached to them. Applications must take care of
+performing this step before releasing resources.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   int
+   rte_flow_destroy(uint8_t port_id,
+                    struct rte_flow *flow,
+                    struct rte_flow_error *error);
+
+
+Failure to destroy a flow rule handle may occur when other flow rules depend
+on it, and destroying it would result in an inconsistent state.
+
+This function is only guaranteed to succeed if handles are destroyed in
+reverse order of their creation.
+
+Arguments:
+
+- ``port_id``: port identifier of Ethernet device.
+- ``flow``: flow rule handle to destroy.
+- ``error``: perform verbose error reporting if not NULL. PMDs initialize
+  this structure in case of error only.
+
+Return values:
+
+- 0 on success, a negative errno value otherwise and ``rte_errno`` is set.
+
+Flush
+~~~~~
+
+Convenience function to destroy all flow rule handles associated with a
+port. They are released as with successive calls to ``rte_flow_destroy()``.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   int
+   rte_flow_flush(uint8_t port_id,
+                  struct rte_flow_error *error);
+
+In the unlikely event of failure, handles are still considered destroyed and
+no longer valid but the port must be assumed to be in an inconsistent state.
+
+Arguments:
+
+- ``port_id``: port identifier of Ethernet device.
+- ``error``: perform verbose error reporting if not NULL. PMDs initialize
+  this structure in case of error only.
+
+Return values:
+
+- 0 on success, a negative errno value otherwise and ``rte_errno`` is set.
+
+Query
+~~~~~
+
+Query an existing flow rule.
+
+This function allows retrieving flow-specific data such as counters. Data
+is gathered by special actions which must be present in the flow rule
+definition.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   int
+   rte_flow_query(uint8_t port_id,
+                  struct rte_flow *flow,
+                  enum rte_flow_action_type action,
+                  void *data,
+                  struct rte_flow_error *error);
+
+Arguments:
+
+- ``port_id``: port identifier of Ethernet device.
+- ``flow``: flow rule handle to query.
+- ``action``: action type to query.
+- ``data``: pointer to storage for the associated query data type.
+- ``error``: perform verbose error reporting if not NULL. PMDs initialize
+  this structure in case of error only.
+
+Return values:
+
+- 0 on success, a negative errno value otherwise and ``rte_errno`` is set.
+
+Verbose error reporting
+-----------------------
+
+The defined *errno* values may not be accurate enough for users or
+application developers who want to investigate issues related to flow rules
+management. A dedicated error object is defined for this purpose:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   enum rte_flow_error_type {
+       RTE_FLOW_ERROR_TYPE_NONE, /**< No error. */
+       RTE_FLOW_ERROR_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED, /**< Cause unspecified. */
+       RTE_FLOW_ERROR_TYPE_HANDLE, /**< Flow rule (handle). */
+       RTE_FLOW_ERROR_TYPE_ATTR_GROUP, /**< Group field. */
+       RTE_FLOW_ERROR_TYPE_ATTR_PRIORITY, /**< Priority field. */
+       RTE_FLOW_ERROR_TYPE_ATTR_INGRESS, /**< Ingress field. */
+       RTE_FLOW_ERROR_TYPE_ATTR_EGRESS, /**< Egress field. */
+       RTE_FLOW_ERROR_TYPE_ATTR, /**< Attributes structure. */
+       RTE_FLOW_ERROR_TYPE_ITEM_NUM, /**< Pattern length. */
+       RTE_FLOW_ERROR_TYPE_ITEM, /**< Specific pattern item. */
+       RTE_FLOW_ERROR_TYPE_ACTION_NUM, /**< Number of actions. */
+       RTE_FLOW_ERROR_TYPE_ACTION, /**< Specific action. */
+   };
+
+   struct rte_flow_error {
+       enum rte_flow_error_type type; /**< Cause field and error types. */
+       const void *cause; /**< Object responsible for the error. */
+       const char *message; /**< Human-readable error message. */
+   };
+
+Error type ``RTE_FLOW_ERROR_TYPE_NONE`` stands for no error, in which case
+remaining fields can be ignored. Other error types describe the type of the
+object pointed by ``cause``.
+
+If non-NULL, ``cause`` points to the object responsible for the error. For a
+flow rule, this may be a pattern item or an individual action.
+
+If non-NULL, ``message`` provides a human-readable error message.
+
+This object is normally allocated by applications and set by PMDs in case of
+error, the message points to a constant string which does not need to be
+freed by the application, however its pointer can be considered valid only
+as long as its associated DPDK port remains configured. Closing the
+underlying device or unloading the PMD invalidates it.
+
+Caveats
+-------
+
+- DPDK does not keep track of flow rules definitions or flow rule objects
+  automatically. Applications may keep track of the former and must keep
+  track of the latter. PMDs may also do it for internal needs, however this
+  must not be relied on by applications.
+
+- Flow rules are not maintained between successive port initializations. An
+  application exiting without releasing them and restarting must re-create
+  them from scratch.
+
+- API operations are synchronous and blocking (``EAGAIN`` cannot be
+  returned).
+
+- There is no provision for reentrancy/multi-thread safety, although nothing
+  should prevent different devices from being configured at the same
+  time. PMDs may protect their control path functions accordingly.
+
+- Stopping the data path (TX/RX) should not be necessary when managing flow
+  rules. If this cannot be achieved naturally or with workarounds (such as
+  temporarily replacing the burst function pointers), an appropriate error
+  code must be returned (``EBUSY``).
+
+- PMDs, not applications, are responsible for maintaining flow rules
+  configuration when stopping and restarting a port or performing other
+  actions which may affect them. They can only be destroyed explicitly by
+  applications.
+
+For devices exposing multiple ports sharing global settings affected by flow
+rules:
+
+- All ports under DPDK control must behave consistently, PMDs are
+  responsible for making sure that existing flow rules on a port are not
+  affected by other ports.
+
+- Ports not under DPDK control (unaffected or handled by other applications)
+  are user's responsibility. They may affect existing flow rules and cause
+  undefined behavior. PMDs aware of this may prevent flow rules creation
+  altogether in such cases.
+
+PMD interface
+-------------
+
+The PMD interface is defined in ``rte_flow_driver.h``. It is not subject to
+API/ABI versioning constraints as it is not exposed to applications and may
+evolve independently.
+
+It is currently implemented on top of the legacy filtering framework through
+filter type *RTE_ETH_FILTER_GENERIC* that accepts the single operation
+*RTE_ETH_FILTER_GET* to return PMD-specific *rte_flow* callbacks wrapped
+inside ``struct rte_flow_ops``.
+
+This overhead is temporarily necessary in order to keep compatibility with
+the legacy filtering framework, which should eventually disappear.
+
+- PMD callbacks implement exactly the interface described in `Rules
+  management`_, except for the port ID argument which has already been
+  converted to a pointer to the underlying ``struct rte_eth_dev``.
+
+- Public API functions do not process flow rules definitions at all before
+  calling PMD functions (no basic error checking, no validation
+  whatsoever). They only make sure these callbacks are non-NULL or return
+  the ``ENOSYS`` (function not supported) error.
+
+This interface additionally defines the following helper functions:
+
+- ``rte_flow_ops_get()``: get generic flow operations structure from a
+  port.
+
+- ``rte_flow_error_set()``: initialize generic flow error structure.
+
+More will be added over time.
+
+Device compatibility
+--------------------
+
+No known implementation supports all the described features.
+
+Unsupported features or combinations are not expected to be fully emulated
+in software by PMDs for performance reasons. Partially supported features
+may be completed in software as long as hardware performs most of the work
+(such as queue redirection and packet recognition).
+
+However PMDs are expected to do their best to satisfy application requests
+by working around hardware limitations as long as doing so does not affect
+the behavior of existing flow rules.
+
+The following sections provide a few examples of such cases and describe how
+PMDs should handle them, they are based on limitations built into the
+previous APIs.
+
+Global bit-masks
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Each flow rule comes with its own, per-layer bit-masks, while hardware may
+support only a single, device-wide bit-mask for a given layer type, so that
+two IPv4 rules cannot use different bit-masks.
+
+The expected behavior in this case is that PMDs automatically configure
+global bit-masks according to the needs of the first flow rule created.
+
+Subsequent rules are allowed only if their bit-masks match those, the
+``EEXIST`` error code should be returned otherwise.
+
+Unsupported layer types
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Many protocols can be simulated by crafting patterns with the `Item: RAW`_
+type.
+
+PMDs can rely on this capability to simulate support for protocols with
+headers not directly recognized by hardware.
+
+``ANY`` pattern item
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This pattern item stands for anything, which can be difficult to translate
+to something hardware would understand, particularly if followed by more
+specific types.
+
+Consider the following pattern:
+
+.. _table_rte_flow_unsupported_any:
+
+.. table:: Pattern with ANY as L3
+
+   +-------+-----------------------+
+   | Index | Item                  |
+   +=======+=======================+
+   | 0     | ETHER                 |
+   +-------+-----+---------+-------+
+   | 1     | ANY | ``num`` | ``1`` |
+   +-------+-----+---------+-------+
+   | 2     | TCP                   |
+   +-------+-----------------------+
+   | 3     | END                   |
+   +-------+-----------------------+
+
+Knowing that TCP does not make sense with something other than IPv4 and IPv6
+as L3, such a pattern may be translated to two flow rules instead:
+
+.. _table_rte_flow_unsupported_any_ipv4:
+
+.. table:: ANY replaced with IPV4
+
+   +-------+--------------------+
+   | Index | Item               |
+   +=======+====================+
+   | 0     | ETHER              |
+   +-------+--------------------+
+   | 1     | IPV4 (zeroed mask) |
+   +-------+--------------------+
+   | 2     | TCP                |
+   +-------+--------------------+
+   | 3     | END                |
+   +-------+--------------------+
+
+|
+
+.. _table_rte_flow_unsupported_any_ipv6:
+
+.. table:: ANY replaced with IPV6
+
+   +-------+--------------------+
+   | Index | Item               |
+   +=======+====================+
+   | 0     | ETHER              |
+   +-------+--------------------+
+   | 1     | IPV6 (zeroed mask) |
+   +-------+--------------------+
+   | 2     | TCP                |
+   +-------+--------------------+
+   | 3     | END                |
+   +-------+--------------------+
+
+Note that as soon as a ANY rule covers several layers, this approach may
+yield a large number of hidden flow rules. It is thus suggested to only
+support the most common scenarios (anything as L2 and/or L3).
+
+Unsupported actions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- When combined with `Action: QUEUE`_, packet counting (`Action: COUNT`_)
+  and tagging (`Action: MARK`_ or `Action: FLAG`_) may be implemented in
+  software as long as the target queue is used by a single rule.
+
+- A rule specifying both `Action: DUP`_ + `Action: QUEUE`_ may be translated
+  to two hidden rules combining `Action: QUEUE`_ and `Action: PASSTHRU`_.
+
+- When a single target queue is provided, `Action: RSS`_ can also be
+  implemented through `Action: QUEUE`_.
+
+Flow rules priority
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+While it would naturally make sense, flow rules cannot be assumed to be
+processed by hardware in the same order as their creation for several
+reasons:
+
+- They may be managed internally as a tree or a hash table instead of a
+  list.
+- Removing a flow rule before adding another one can either put the new rule
+  at the end of the list or reuse a freed entry.
+- Duplication may occur when packets are matched by several rules.
+
+For overlapping rules (particularly in order to use `Action: PASSTHRU`_)
+predictable behavior is only guaranteed by using different priority levels.
+
+Priority levels are not necessarily implemented in hardware, or may be
+severely limited (e.g. a single priority bit).
+
+For these reasons, priority levels may be implemented purely in software by
+PMDs.
+
+- For devices expecting flow rules to be added in the correct order, PMDs
+  may destroy and re-create existing rules after adding a new one with
+  a higher priority.
+
+- A configurable number of dummy or empty rules can be created at
+  initialization time to save high priority slots for later.
+
+- In order to save priority levels, PMDs may evaluate whether rules are
+  likely to collide and adjust their priority accordingly.
+
+Future evolutions
+-----------------
+
+- A device profile selection function which could be used to force a
+  permanent profile instead of relying on its automatic configuration based
+  on existing flow rules.
+
+- A method to optimize *rte_flow* rules with specific pattern items and
+  action types generated on the fly by PMDs. DPDK should assign negative
+  numbers to these in order to not collide with the existing types. See
+  `Negative types`_.
+
+- Adding specific egress pattern items and actions as described in
+  `Attribute: Traffic direction`_.
+
+- Optional software fallback when PMDs are unable to handle requested flow
+  rules so applications do not have to implement their own.

+``FDIR`` to most item types → ``QUEUE``, ``DROP``, ``PASSTHRU``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+*FDIR* is more complex than any other type, there are several methods to
+emulate its functionality. It is summarized for the most part in the table
+below.
+
+A few features are intentionally not supported:
+
+- The ability to configure the matching input set and masks for the entire
+  device, PMDs should take care of it automatically according to the
+  requested flow rules.
+
+  For example if a device supports only one bit-mask per protocol type,
+  source/address IPv4 bit-masks can be made immutable by the first created
+  rule. Subsequent IPv4 or TCPv4 rules can only be created if they are
+  compatible.
+
+  Note that only protocol bit-masks affected by existing flow rules are
+  immutable, others can be changed later. They become mutable again after
+  the related flow rules are destroyed.
+
+- Returning four or eight bytes of matched data when using flex bytes
+  filtering. Although a specific action could implement it, it conflicts
+  with the much more useful 32 bits tagging on devices that support it.
+
+- Side effects on RSS processing of the entire device. Flow rules that
+  conflict with the current device configuration should not be
+  allowed. Similarly, device configuration should not be allowed when it
+  affects existing flow rules.
+
+- Device modes of operation. "none" is unsupported since filtering cannot be
+  disabled as long as a flow rule is present.
+
+- "MAC VLAN" or "tunnel" perfect matching modes should be automatically set
+  according to the created flow rules.
+
+- Signature mode of operation is not defined but could be handled through a
+  specific item type if needed.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+All packets are matched. This type alters incoming packets to encapsulate
+them in a chosen tunnel type, optionally redirect them to a VF as well.
+
+The destination pool for tag based forwarding can be emulated with other
+flow rules using `Action: DUP`_.

 Deprecation Notices
 -------------------
 
+* eal: the following functions are deprecated starting from 17.05 and will
+  be removed in 17.08:
+
+  - ``rte_set_log_level``, replaced by ``rte_log_set_global_level``
+  - ``rte_get_log_level``, replaced by ``rte_log_get_global_level``
+  - ``rte_set_log_type``, replaced by ``rte_log_set_level``
+  - ``rte_get_log_type``, replaced by ``rte_log_get_level``
+
+* devargs: An ABI change is planned for 17.08 for the structure ``rte_devargs``.
+  The current version is dependent on bus-specific device identifier, which will
+  be made generic and abstracted, in order to make the EAL bus-agnostic.
+
+  Accompanying this evolution, device command line parameters will thus support
+  explicit bus definition in a device declaration.
+
 * igb_uio: iomem mapping and sysfs files created for iomem and ioport in
   igb_uio will be removed, because we are able to detect these from what Linux
   has exposed, like the way we have done with uio-pci-generic. This change
-  targets release 17.02.
-
-* ABI/API changes are planned for 17.02: ``rte_device``, ``rte_driver`` will be
-  impacted because of introduction of a new ``rte_bus`` hierarchy. This would
-  also impact the way devices are identified by EAL. A bus-device-driver model
-  will be introduced providing a hierarchical view of devices.
-
-* ``eth_driver`` is planned to be removed in 17.02. This currently serves as
-  a placeholder for PMDs to register themselves. Changes for ``rte_bus`` will
-  provide a way to handle device initialization currently being done in
-  ``eth_driver``.
-
-* In 17.02 ABI changes are planned: the ``rte_eth_dev`` structure will be
-  extended with new function pointer ``tx_pkt_prepare`` allowing verification
-  and processing of packet burst to meet HW specific requirements before
-  transmit. Also new fields will be added to the ``rte_eth_desc_lim`` structure:
-  ``nb_seg_max`` and ``nb_mtu_seg_max`` providing information about number of
-  segments limit to be transmitted by device for TSO/non-TSO packets.
-
-* In 17.02 ABI change is planned: the ``rte_eth_dev_info`` structure
-  will be extended with a new member ``fw_version`` in order to store
-  the NIC firmware version.
-
-* ethdev: an API change is planned for 17.02 for the function
-  ``_rte_eth_dev_callback_process``. In 17.02 the function will return an ``int``
-  instead of ``void`` and a fourth parameter ``void *ret_param`` will be added.
+  targets release 17.05.
 
-* ethdev: for 17.02 it is planned to deprecate the following five functions
-  and move them in ixgbe:
+* The VDEV subsystem will be converted as driver of the new bus model.
+  It may imply some EAL API changes in 17.08.
 
-  ``rte_eth_dev_set_vf_rxmode``
+* The struct ``rte_pci_driver`` is planned to be removed from
+  ``rte_cryptodev_driver`` and ``rte_eventdev_driver`` in 17.08.
 
-  ``rte_eth_dev_set_vf_rx``
+* ethdev: An API change is planned for 17.08 for the function
+  ``_rte_eth_dev_callback_process``. In 17.08 the function will return an ``int``
+  instead of ``void`` and a fourth parameter ``void *ret_param`` will be added.
+
+* ethdev: for 17.08 it is planned to deprecate the following nine rte_eth_dev_*
+  functions and move them into the ixgbe PMD:
+
+  ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_init``, ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_state_set``,
+  ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_state_show``, ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_event_store``,
+  ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_event_show``, ``rte_eth_dev_wd_timeout_store``,
+  ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_wd_timeout_show``, ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_ver_show``,
+  ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_wd_reset``.
 
-  ``rte_eth_dev_set_vf_tx``
+  The following fields will be removed from ``struct eth_dev_ops``:
 
-  ``rte_eth_dev_set_vf_vlan_filter``
+  ``bypass_init_t``, ``bypass_state_set_t``, ``bypass_state_show_t``,
+  ``bypass_event_set_t``, ``bypass_event_show_t``, ``bypass_wd_timeout_set_t``,
+  ``bypass_wd_timeout_show_t``, ``bypass_ver_show_t``, ``bypass_wd_reset_t``.
 
-  ``rte_eth_set_vf_rate_limit``
+  The functions will be renamed to the following, and moved to the ``ixgbe`` PMD:
 
-* ABI changes are planned for 17.02 in the ``rte_mbuf`` structure: some fields
-  may be reordered to facilitate the writing of ``data_off``, ``refcnt``, and
-  ``nb_segs`` in one operation, because some platforms have an overhead if the
-  store address is not naturally aligned. Other mbuf fields, such as the
-  ``port`` field, may be moved or removed as part of this mbuf work. A
-  ``timestamp`` will also be added.
+  ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_init``, ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_state_set``,
+  ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_state_show``, ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_event_set``,

+  ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_wd_timeout_show``, ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_ver_show``,
+  ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_wd_reset``.
 
 * The mbuf flags PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT and PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT are deprecated and
   are respectively replaced by PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED and
   PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED, that are better described. The old flags and
-  their behavior will be kept until 16.11 and will be removed in 17.02.
-
-* mempool: The functions ``rte_mempool_count`` and ``rte_mempool_free_count``
-  will be removed in 17.02.
-  They are replaced by ``rte_mempool_avail_count`` and
-  ``rte_mempool_in_use_count`` respectively.
-
-* mempool: The functions for single/multi producer/consumer are deprecated
-  and will be removed in 17.02.
-  It is replaced by ``rte_mempool_generic_get/put`` functions.
+  their behavior will be kept until 17.05 and will be removed in 17.08.
+
+* ethdev: Tx offloads will no longer be enabled by default in 17.08.
+  Instead, the ``rte_eth_txmode`` structure will be extended with
+  bit field to enable each Tx offload.
+  Besides of making the Rx/Tx configuration API more consistent for the
+  application, PMDs will be able to provide a better out of the box performance.
+  As part of the work, ``ETH_TXQ_FLAGS_NO*`` will be superseded as well.
+
+* ethdev: the legacy filter API, including
+  ``rte_eth_dev_filter_supported()``, ``rte_eth_dev_filter_ctrl()`` as well
+  as filter types MACVLAN, ETHERTYPE, FLEXIBLE, SYN, NTUPLE, TUNNEL, FDIR,
+  HASH and L2_TUNNEL, is superseded by the generic flow API (rte_flow) in
+  PMDs that implement the latter.
+  Target release for removal of the legacy API will be defined once most
+  PMDs have switched to rte_flow.
+
+* cryptodev: All PMD names definitions will be moved to the individual PMDs
+  in 17.08.
+
+* cryptodev: The following changes will be done in in 17.08:
+
+  - the device type enumeration ``rte_cryptodev_type`` will be removed
+  - the following structures will be changed: ``rte_cryptodev_session``,
+    ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session``, ``rte_cryptodev_info``, ``rte_cryptodev``
+  - the function ``rte_cryptodev_count_devtype`` will be replaced by
+    ``rte_cryptodev_device_count_by_driver``
+
+* cryptodev: API changes are planned for 17.08 for the sessions management
+  to make it agnostic to the underlying devices, removing coupling with
+  crypto PMDs, so a single session can be used on multiple devices.
+
+  - ``struct rte_cryptodev_sym_session``, dev_id, dev_type will be removed,
+    _private field changed to the indirect array of private data pointers of
+    all supported devices
+
+  An API of followed functions will be changed to allow operate on multiple
+  devices with one session:
+
+  - ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_create``
+  - ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_free``
+  - ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_pool_create``
+
+  While dev_id will not be stored in the ``struct rte_cryptodev_sym_session``,
+  directly, the change of followed API is required:
+
+  - ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_attach_sym_session``
+  - ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_detach_sym_session``
+
+* cryptodev: the structures ``rte_crypto_op``, ``rte_crypto_sym_op``
+  and ``rte_crypto_sym_xform`` will be restructured in 17.08,
+  for correctness and improvement.
+
+* crypto/scheduler: the following two functions are deprecated starting
+  from 17.05 and will be removed in 17.08:
+
+  - ``rte_crpytodev_scheduler_mode_get``, replaced by ``rte_cryptodev_scheduler_mode_get``
+  - ``rte_crpytodev_scheduler_mode_set``, replaced by ``rte_cryptodev_scheduler_mode_set``
+
+* librte_table: The ``key_mask`` parameter will be added to all the hash tables
+  that currently do not have it, as well as to the hash compute function prototype.
+  The non-"do-sig" versions of the hash tables will be removed
+  (including the ``signature_offset`` parameter)
+  and the "do-sig" versions renamed accordingly.

+uio pci generic module bind failed in X710/XL710/XXV710
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+**Description**:
+   The ``uio_pci_generic`` module is not supported by XL710, since the errata of XL710
+   states that the Interrupt Status bit is not implemented. The errata is the item #71
+   from the `xl710 controller spec
+   <http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/embedded/products/networking/xl710-10-40-controller-spec-update.html>`_.
+   The hw limitation is the same as other X710/XXV710 NICs.
+
+**Implication**:
+   When use ``--bind=uio_pci_generic``, the ``uio_pci_generic`` module probes device and check the Interrupt
+   Status bit. Since it is not supported by X710/XL710/XXV710, it return a *failed* value. The statement
+   that these products don’t support INTx masking, is indicated in the related `linux kernel commit
+   <https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/drivers/pci/quirks.c?id=8bcf4525c5d43306c5fd07e132bc8650e3491aec>`_.

+
+virtio tx_burst() function cannot do TSO on shared packets
+----------------------------------------------------------
+
+**Description**:
+   The standard TX function of virtio driver does not manage shared
+   packets properly when doing TSO. These packets should be read-only
+   but the driver modifies them.
+
+   When doing TSO, the virtio standard expects that the L4 checksum is
+   set to the pseudo header checksum in the packet data, which is
+   different than the DPDK API. The driver patches the L4 checksum to
+   conform to the virtio standard, but this solution is invalid when
+   dealing with shared packets (clones), because the packet data should
+   not be modified.
+
+**Implication**:
+   In this situation, the shared data will be modified by the driver,
+   potentially causing race conditions with the other users of the mbuf
+   data.
+
+**Resolution/Workaround**:
+   The workaround in the application is to ensure that the network
+   headers in the packet data are not shared.
+
+**Affected Environment/Platform**:
+   Virtual machines running a virtio driver.

+igb uio legacy mode can not be used in X710/XL710/XXV710
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+**Description**:
+   X710/XL710/XXV710 NICs lack support for indicating INTx is asserted via the interrupt
+   bit in the PCI status register. Linux delected them from INTx support table. The related
+   `commit <https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/drivers/pci/quirks.c?id=8bcf4525c5d43306c5fd07e132bc8650e3491aec>`_.
+
+**Implication**:
+   When insmod ``igb_uio`` with ``intr_mode=legacy`` and test link status interrupt. Since
+   INTx interrupt is not supported by X710/XL710/XXV710, it will cause Input/Output error
+   when reading file descriptor.
+
+**Resolution/Workaround**:
+   Do not bind ``igb_uio`` with legacy mode in X710/XL710/XXV710 NICs, or do not use kernel
+   version >4.7 when you bind ``igb_uio`` with legacy mode.

+**Driver/Module**:
+   Poll Mode Driver (PMD).
+
+
+igb_uio can not be used when running l3fwd-power
+------------------------------------------------
+
+**Description**:
+   Link Status Change(LSC) interrupt and packet receiving interrupt are all enabled in l3fwd-power
+   APP. Because of UIO only support one interrupt, so these two kinds of interrupt need to share
+   one, and the receiving interrupt have the higher priority, so can't get the right link status.
+
+**Implication**:
+   When insmod ``igb_uio`` and running l3fwd-power APP, link status getting doesn't work properly.
+
+**Resolution/Workaround**:
+   Use vfio-pci when LSC and packet receiving interrupt enabled.
+
+**Affected Environment/Platform**:
+   ALL.
+
+**Driver/Module**:
+   ``igb_uio`` module.

+
+     * Added feature foo to do something.
+     * Enhanced feature bar to do something else.
+
+     Refer to the previous release notes for examples.
+
+     This section is a comment. do not overwrite or remove it.
+     Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
+     =========================================================
+
+* **Added support for representing buses in EAL**
+
+  The ``rte_bus`` structure was introduced into the EAL. This allows for
+  devices to be represented by buses they are connected to. A new bus can be
+  added to DPDK by extending the ``rte_bus`` structure and implementing the
+  scan and probe functions. Once a new bus is registered using the provided
+  APIs, new devices can be detected and initialized using bus scan and probe
+  callbacks.
+
+  With this change, devices other than PCI or VDEV type can be represented
+  in the DPDK framework.
+
+* **Added generic EAL API for I/O device memory read/write operations.**
+
+  This API introduces 8 bit, 16 bit, 32 bit and 64 bit I/O device
+  memory read/write operations along with "relaxed" versions.
+
+  Weakly-ordered architectures like ARM need an additional I/O barrier for
+  device memory read/write access over PCI bus. By introducing the EAL
+  abstraction for I/O device memory read/write access, the drivers can access
+  I/O device memory in an architecture-agnostic manner. The relaxed version
+  does not have an additional I/O memory barrier, which is useful in accessing
+  the device registers of integrated controllers which is implicitly strongly
+  ordered with respect to memory access.
+
+* **Added generic flow API (rte_flow).**
+
+  This API provides a generic means to configure hardware to match specific
+  ingress or egress traffic, alter its behavior and query related counters
+  according to any number of user-defined rules.
+
+  In order to expose a single interface with an unambiguous behavior that is
+  common to all poll-mode drivers (PMDs) the ``rte_flow`` API is slightly
+  higher-level than the legacy filtering framework, which it encompasses and
+  supersedes (including all functions and filter types) .
+
+  See the :ref:`Generic flow API <Generic_flow_API>` documentation for more
+  information.
+
+* **Added firmware version get API.**
+
+  Added a new function ``rte_eth_dev_fw_version_get()`` to fetch the firmware
+  version for a given device.
+
+* **Added APIs for MACsec offload support to the ixgbe PMD.**
+
+  Six new APIs have been added to the ixgbe PMD for MACsec offload support.
+  The declarations for the APIs can be found in ``rte_pmd_ixgbe.h``.
+
+* **Added I219 NICs support.**
+
+  Added support for I219 Intel 1GbE NICs.
+
+* **Added VF Daemon (VFD) for i40e. - EXPERIMENTAL**
+
+  This is an EXPERIMENTAL feature to enhance the capability of the DPDK PF as
+  many VF management features are not currently supported by the kernel PF
+  driver. Some new private APIs are implemented directly in the PMD without an
+  abstraction layer. They can be used directly by some users who have the
+  need.
+
+  The new APIs to control VFs directly from PF include:
+
+  * Set VF MAC anti-spoofing.
+  * Set VF VLAN anti-spoofing.
+  * Set TX loopback.
+  * Set VF unicast promiscuous mode.
+  * Set VF multicast promiscuous mode.
+  * Set VF MTU.
+  * Get/reset VF stats.
+  * Set VF MAC address.
+  * Set VF VLAN stripping.
+  * Vf VLAN insertion.
+  * Set VF broadcast mode.
+  * Set VF VLAN tag.
+  * Set VF VLAN filter.
+
+  VFD also includes VF to PF mailbox message management from an application.
+  When the PF receives mailbox messages from the VF the PF should call the
+  callback provided by the application to know if they're permitted to be
+  processed.
+
+  As an EXPERIMENTAL feature, please be aware it can be changed or even
+  removed without prior notice.
+
+* **Updated the i40e base driver.**
+
+  Updated the i40e base driver, including the following changes:
+
+  * Replace existing legacy ``memcpy()`` calls with ``i40e_memcpy()`` calls.
+  * Use ``BIT()`` macro instead of bit fields.
+  * Add clear all WoL filters implementation.
+  * Add broadcast promiscuous control per VLAN.
+  * Remove unused ``X722_SUPPORT`` and ``I40E_NDIS_SUPPORT`` macros.
+
+* **Updated the enic driver.**
+
+  * Set new Rx checksum flags in mbufs to indicate unknown, good or bad checksums.
+  * Fix set/remove of MAC addresses. Allow up to 64 addresses per device.
+  * Enable TSO on outer headers.
+
+* **Added Solarflare libefx-based network PMD.**
+
+  Added a new network PMD which supports Solarflare SFN7xxx and SFN8xxx family
+  of 10/40 Gbps adapters.
+
+* **Updated the mlx4 driver.**
+
+  * Addressed a few bugs.
+
+* **Added support for Mellanox ConnectX-5 adapters (mlx5).**
+
+  Added support for Mellanox ConnectX-5 family of 10/25/40/50/100 Gbps
+  adapters to the existing mlx5 PMD.
+
+* **Updated the mlx5 driver.**
+
+  * Improve Tx performance by using vector logic.
+  * Improve RSS balancing when number of queues is not a power of two.
+  * Generic flow API support for Ethernet, IPv4, IPv4, UDP, TCP, VLAN and
+    VXLAN pattern items with DROP and QUEUE actions.
+  * Support for extended statistics.
+  * Addressed several data path bugs.
+  * As of MLNX_OFED 4.0-1.0.1.0, the Toeplitz RSS hash function is not
+    symmetric anymore for consistency with other PMDs.
+
+* **virtio-user with vhost-kernel as another exceptional path.**
+
+  Previously, we upstreamed a virtual device, virtio-user with vhost-user as
+  the backend as a way of enabling IPC (Inter-Process Communication) and user
+  space container networking.
+
+  Virtio-user with vhost-kernel as the backend is a solution for the exception
+  path, such as KNI, which exchanges packets with the kernel networking stack.
+  This solution is very promising in:
+
+  * Maintenance: vhost and vhost-net (kernel) is an upstreamed and extensively
+    used kernel module.
+  * Features: vhost-net is designed to be a networking solution, which has
+    lots of networking related features, like multi-queue, TSO, multi-seg
+    mbuf, etc.
+  * Performance: similar to KNI, this solution would use one or more
+    kthreads to send/receive packets from user space DPDK applications,
+    which has little impact on user space polling thread (except that
+    it might enter into kernel space to wake up those kthreads if
+    necessary).
+
+* **Added virtio Rx interrupt support.**
+
+  Added a feature to enable Rx interrupt mode for virtio pci net devices as
+  bound to VFIO (noiommu mode) and driven by virtio PMD.
+
+  With this feature, the virtio PMD can switch between polling mode and
+  interrupt mode, to achieve best performance, and at the same time save
+  power. It can work on both legacy and modern virtio devices. In this mode,
+  each ``rxq`` is mapped with an excluded MSIx interrupt.
+
+  See the :ref:`Virtio Interrupt Mode <virtio_interrupt_mode>` documentation
+  for more information.
+
+* **Added ARMv8 crypto PMD.**
+
+  A new crypto PMD has been added, which provides combined mode cryptographic
+  operations optimized for ARMv8 processors. The driver can be used to enhance
+  performance in processing chained operations such as cipher + HMAC.
+
+* **Updated the QAT PMD.**
+
+  The QAT PMD has been updated with additional support for:
+
+  * DES algorithm.
+  * Scatter-gather list (SGL) support.
+
+* **Updated the AESNI MB PMD.**
+
+  * The Intel(R) Multi Buffer Crypto for IPsec library used in
+    AESNI MB PMD has been moved to a new repository, in GitHub.
+  * Support has been added for single operations (cipher only and
+    authentication only).
+
+* **Updated the AES-NI GCM PMD.**
+
+  The AES-NI GCM PMD was migrated from the Multi Buffer library to the ISA-L
+  library. The migration entailed adding additional support for:
+
+  * GMAC algorithm.
+  * 256-bit cipher key.
+  * Session-less mode.
+  * Out-of place processing
+  * Scatter-gather support for chained mbufs (only out-of place and destination
+    mbuf must be contiguous)
+
+* **Added crypto performance test application.**
+
+  Added a new performance test application for measuring performance
+  parameters of PMDs available in the crypto tree.
+
+* **Added Elastic Flow Distributor library (rte_efd).**
+
+  Added a new library which uses perfect hashing to determine a target/value
+  for a given incoming flow key.
+
+  The library does not store the key itself for lookup operations, and
+  therefore, lookup performance is not dependent on the key size. Also, the
+  target/value can be any arbitrary value (8 bits by default). Finally, the
+  storage requirement is much smaller than a hash-based flow table and
+  therefore, it can better fit in CPU cache and scale to millions of flow
+  keys.
+
+  See the :ref:`Elastic Flow Distributor Library <Efd_Library>` documentation in
+  the Programmers Guide document, for more information.

+New Features
+------------
+
+.. This section should contain new features added in this release. Sample
+   format:
+
+   * **Add a title in the past tense with a full stop.**
+
+     Add a short 1-2 sentence description in the past tense. The description
+     should be enough to allow someone scanning the release notes to
+     understand the new feature.
+
+     If the feature adds a lot of sub-features you can use a bullet list like
+     this:
+
+     * Added feature foo to do something.
+     * Enhanced feature bar to do something else.
+
+     Refer to the previous release notes for examples.
+
+     This section is a comment. do not overwrite or remove it.
+     Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
+     =========================================================
+
+* **Reorganized mbuf structure.**
+
+  The mbuf structure has been reorganized as follows:
+
+  * Align fields to facilitate the writing of ``data_off``, ``refcnt``, and
+    ``nb_segs`` in one operation.
+  * Use 2 bytes for port and number of segments.
+  * Move the sequence number to the second cache line.
+  * Add a timestamp field.
+  * Set default value for ``refcnt``, ``next`` and ``nb_segs`` at mbuf free.
+
+* **Added mbuf raw free API.**
+
+  Moved ``rte_mbuf_raw_free()`` and ``rte_pktmbuf_prefree_seg()`` functions to
+  the public API.
+
+* **Added free Tx mbuf on demand API.**
+
+  Added a new function ``rte_eth_tx_done_cleanup()`` which allows an
+  application to request the driver to release mbufs that are no longer in use
+  from a Tx ring, independent of whether or not the ``tx_rs_thresh`` has been
+  crossed.
+
+* **Added device removal interrupt.**
+
+  Added a new ethdev event ``RTE_ETH_DEV_INTR_RMV`` to signify
+  the sudden removal of a device.
+  This event can be advertised by PCI drivers and enabled accordingly.
+
+* **Added EAL dynamic log framework.**
+
+  Added new APIs to dynamically register named log types, and control
+  the level of each type independently.
+
+* **Added descriptor status ethdev API.**
+
+  Added a new API to get the status of a descriptor.
+
+  For Rx, it is almost similar to the ``rx_descriptor_done`` API, except
+  it differentiates descriptors which are held by the driver and not
+  returned to the hardware. For Tx, it is a new API.
+
+* **Increased number of next hops for LPM IPv6 to 2^21.**
+
+  The next_hop field has been extended from 8 bits to 21 bits for IPv6.
+
+* **Added VFIO hotplug support.**
+
+  Added hotplug support for VFIO in addition to the existing UIO support.
+
+* **Added PowerPC support to pci probing for vfio-pci devices.**
+
+  Enabled sPAPR IOMMU based pci probing for vfio-pci devices.
+
+* **Kept consistent PMD batching behavior.**
+
+  Removed the limit of fm10k/i40e/ixgbe Tx burst size and vhost Rx/Tx burst size
+  in order to support the same policy of "make an best effort to Rx/Tx pkts"
+  for PMDs.
+
+* **Updated the ixgbe base driver.**
+
+  Updated the ixgbe base driver, including the following changes:
+
+  * Add link block check for KR.
+  * Complete HW initialization even if SFP is not present.
+  * Add VF xcast promiscuous mode.
+
+* **Added PowerPC support for i40e and its vector PMD.**
+
+  Enabled i40e PMD and its vector PMD by default in PowerPC.
+
+* **Added VF max bandwidth setting in i40e.**
+
+  Enabled capability to set the max bandwidth for a VF in i40e.
+
+* **Added VF TC min and max bandwidth setting in i40e.**
+
+  Enabled capability to set the min and max allocated bandwidth for a TC on a
+  VF in i40.
+
+* **Added TC strict priority mode setting on i40e.**
+
+  There are 2 Tx scheduling modes supported for TCs by i40e HW: round robin
+  mode and strict priority mode. By default the round robin mode is used. It
+  is now possible to change the Tx scheduling mode for a TC. This is a global
+  setting on a physical port.
+
+* **Added i40e dynamic device personalization support.**
+
+  * Added dynamic device personalization processing to i40e firmware.
+
+* **Added Cloud Filter for QinQ steering to i40e.**
+
+  * Added a QinQ cloud filter on the i40e PMD, for steering traffic to a VM
+    using both VLAN tags. Note, this feature is not supported in Vector Mode.
+
+* **Updated mlx5 PMD.**
+
+  Updated the mlx5 driver, including the following changes:
+
+  * Added Generic flow API support for classification according to ether type.
+  * Extended Generic flow API support for classification of IPv6 flow
+    according to Vtc flow, Protocol and Hop limit.
+  * Added Generic flow API support for FLAG action.
+  * Added Generic flow API support for RSS action.
+  * Added support for TSO for non-tunneled and VXLAN packets.
+  * Added support for hardware Tx checksum offloads for VXLAN packets.
+  * Added support for user space Rx interrupt mode.
+  * Improved ConnectX-5 single core and maximum performance.
+
+* **Updated mlx4 PMD.**
+
+  Updated the mlx4 driver, including the following changes:
+
+  * Added support for Generic flow API basic flow items and actions.
+  * Added support for device removal event.
+
+* **Updated the sfc_efx driver.**
+
+  * Added Generic Flow API support for Ethernet, VLAN, IPv4, IPv6, UDP and TCP
+    pattern items with QUEUE action for ingress traffic.
+
+  * Added support for virtual functions (VFs).
+
+* **Added LiquidIO network PMD.**
+
+  Added poll mode driver support for Cavium LiquidIO II server adapter VFs.
+
+* **Added Atomic Rules Arkville PMD.**
+
+  Added a new poll mode driver for the Arkville family of
+  devices from Atomic Rules. The net/ark PMD supports line-rate
+  agnostic, multi-queue data movement on Arkville core FPGA instances.
+
+* **Added support for NXP DPAA2 - FSLMC bus.**
+
+  Added the new bus "fslmc" driver for NXP DPAA2 devices. See the
+  "Network Interface Controller Drivers" document for more details of this new
+  driver.
+
+* **Added support for NXP DPAA2 Network PMD.**
+
+  Added the new "dpaa2" net driver for NXP DPAA2 devices. See the
+  "Network Interface Controller Drivers" document for more details of this new
+  driver.
+
+* **Added support for the Wind River Systems AVP PMD.**
+
+  Added a new networking driver for the AVP device type. Theses devices are
+  specific to the Wind River Systems virtualization platforms.
+
+* **Added vmxnet3 version 3 support.**
+
+  Added support for vmxnet3 version 3 which includes several
+  performance enhancements such as configurable Tx data ring, Receive
+  Data Ring, and the ability to register memory regions.
+
+* **Updated the TAP driver.**
+
+  Updated the TAP PMD to:
+
+  * Support MTU modification.
+  * Support packet type for Rx.
+  * Support segmented packets on Rx and Tx.
+  * Speed up Rx on TAP when no packets are available.
+  * Support capturing traffic from another netdevice.
+  * Dynamically change link status when the underlying interface state changes.
+  * Added Generic Flow API support for Ethernet, VLAN, IPv4, IPv6, UDP and
+    TCP pattern items with DROP, QUEUE and PASSTHRU actions for ingress
+    traffic.
+
+* **Added MTU feature support to Virtio and Vhost.**
+
+  Implemented new Virtio MTU feature in Vhost and Virtio:
+
+  * Add ``rte_vhost_mtu_get()`` API to Vhost library.
+  * Enable Vhost PMD's MTU get feature.
+  * Get max MTU value from host in Virtio PMD
+
+* **Added interrupt mode support for virtio-user.**
+
+  Implemented Rxq interrupt mode and LSC support for virtio-user as a virtual
+  device. Supported cases:
+
+  * Rxq interrupt for virtio-user + vhost-user as the backend.
+  * Rxq interrupt for virtio-user + vhost-kernel as the backend.
+  * LSC interrupt for virtio-user + vhost-user as the backend.
+
+* **Added event driven programming model library (rte_eventdev).**
+
+  This API introduces an event driven programming model.
+
+  In a polling model, lcores poll ethdev ports and associated
+  Rx queues directly to look for a packet. By contrast in an event
+  driven model, lcores call the scheduler that selects packets for
+  them based on programmer-specified criteria. The Eventdev library
+  adds support for an event driven programming model, which offers
+  applications automatic multicore scaling, dynamic load balancing,
+  pipelining, packet ingress order maintenance and
+  synchronization services to simplify application packet processing.
+
+  By introducing an event driven programming model, DPDK can support
+  both polling and event driven programming models for packet processing,
+  and applications are free to choose whatever model
+  (or combination of the two) best suits their needs.
+
+* **Added Software Eventdev PMD.**
+
+  Added support for the software eventdev PMD. The software eventdev is a
+  software based scheduler device that implements the eventdev API. This
+  PMD allows an application to configure a pipeline using the eventdev
+  library, and run the scheduling workload on a CPU core.
+
+* **Added Cavium OCTEONTX Eventdev PMD.**
+
+  Added the new octeontx ssovf eventdev driver for OCTEONTX devices. See the
+  "Event Device Drivers" document for more details on this new driver.
+
+* **Added information metrics library.**
+
+  Added a library that allows information metrics to be added and updated
+  by producers, typically other libraries, for later retrieval by
+  consumers such as applications. It is intended to provide a
+  reporting mechanism that is independent of other libraries such
+  as ethdev.
+
+* **Added bit-rate calculation library.**
+
+  Added a library that can be used to calculate device bit-rates. Calculated
+  bitrates are reported using the metrics library.
+
+* **Added latency stats library.**
+
+  Added a library that measures packet latency. The collected statistics are
+  jitter and latency. For latency the minimum, average, and maximum is
+  measured.
+
+* **Added NXP DPAA2 SEC crypto PMD.**
+
+  A new "dpaa2_sec" hardware based crypto PMD for NXP DPAA2 devices has been
+  added. See the "Crypto Device Drivers" document for more details on this
+  driver.
+
+* **Updated the Cryptodev Scheduler PMD.**
+
+  * Added a packet-size based distribution mode, which distributes the enqueued
+    crypto operations among two slaves, based on their data lengths.
+  * Added fail-over scheduling mode, which enqueues crypto operations to a
+    primary slave first. Then, any operation that cannot be enqueued is
+    enqueued to a secondary slave.
+  * Added mode specific option support, so each scheduling mode can
+    now be configured individually by the new API.
+
+* **Updated the QAT PMD.**
+
+  The QAT PMD has been updated with additional support for:
+
+  * AES DOCSIS BPI algorithm.
+  * DES DOCSIS BPI algorithm.
+  * ZUC EEA3/EIA3 algorithms.
+
+* **Updated the AESNI MB PMD.**
+
+  The AESNI MB PMD has been updated with additional support for:
+
+  * AES DOCSIS BPI algorithm.
+
+* **Updated the OpenSSL PMD.**
+
+  The OpenSSL PMD has been updated with additional support for:
+
+  * DES DOCSIS BPI algorithm.
+

+
+     Add the entries in alphabetic order in the relevant sections below.
+
+   This section is a comment. do not overwrite or remove it.
+   Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
+   =========================================================
+
+
+* **l2fwd-keepalive: Fixed unclean shutdowns.**
+
+  Added clean shutdown to l2fwd-keepalive so that it can free up
+  stale resources used for inter-process communication.
+
+
+Known Issues
+------------
+
+.. This section should contain new known issues in this release. Sample format:
+
+   * **Add title in present tense with full stop.**
+
+     Add a short 1-2 sentence description of the known issue in the present
+     tense. Add information on any known workarounds.
+
+   This section is a comment. do not overwrite or remove it.
+   Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
+   =========================================================
+
+* **LSC interrupt doesn't work for virtio-user + vhost-kernel.**
+
+  LSC interrupt cannot be detected when setting the backend, tap device,
+  up/down as we fail to find a way to monitor such event.
+
+
+API Changes
+-----------
+
+.. This section should contain API changes. Sample format:
+
+   * Add a short 1-2 sentence description of the API change. Use fixed width
+     quotes for ``rte_function_names`` or ``rte_struct_names``. Use the past
+     tense.
+
+   This section is a comment. do not overwrite or remove it.
+   Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
+   =========================================================
+
+* The LPM ``next_hop`` field is extended from 8 bits to 21 bits for IPv6
+  while keeping ABI compatibility.
+
+* **Reworked rte_ring library.**
+
+  The rte_ring library has been reworked and updated. The following changes
+  have been made to it:
+
+  * Removed the build-time setting ``CONFIG_RTE_RING_SPLIT_PROD_CONS``.
+  * Removed the build-time setting ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_RING_DEBUG``.
+  * Removed the build-time setting ``CONFIG_RTE_RING_PAUSE_REP_COUNT``.
+  * Removed the function ``rte_ring_set_water_mark`` as part of a general
+    removal of watermarks support in the library.
+  * Added an extra parameter to the burst/bulk enqueue functions to
+    return the number of free spaces in the ring after enqueue. This can
+    be used by an application to implement its own watermark functionality.
+  * Added an extra parameter to the burst/bulk dequeue functions to return
+    the number elements remaining in the ring after dequeue.
+  * Changed the return value of the enqueue and dequeue bulk functions to
+    match that of the burst equivalents. In all cases, ring functions which
+    operate on multiple packets now return the number of elements enqueued
+    or dequeued, as appropriate. The updated functions are:
+
+    - ``rte_ring_mp_enqueue_bulk``
+    - ``rte_ring_sp_enqueue_bulk``
+    - ``rte_ring_enqueue_bulk``
+    - ``rte_ring_mc_dequeue_bulk``
+    - ``rte_ring_sc_dequeue_bulk``
+    - ``rte_ring_dequeue_bulk``
+
+    NOTE: the above functions all have different parameters as well as
+    different return values, due to the other listed changes above. This
+    means that all instances of the functions in existing code will be
+    flagged by the compiler. The return value usage should be checked
+    while fixing the compiler error due to the extra parameter.
+
+* **Reworked rte_vhost library.**
+
+  The rte_vhost library has been reworked to make it generic enough so that
+  the user could build other vhost-user drivers on top of it. To achieve this
+  the following changes have been made:
+
+  * The following vhost-pmd APIs are removed:
+
+    * ``rte_eth_vhost_feature_disable``
+    * ``rte_eth_vhost_feature_enable``
+    * ``rte_eth_vhost_feature_get``
+
+  * The vhost API ``rte_vhost_driver_callback_register(ops)`` is reworked to
+    be per vhost-user socket file. Thus, it takes one more argument:
+    ``rte_vhost_driver_callback_register(path, ops)``.
+
+  * The vhost API ``rte_vhost_get_queue_num`` is deprecated, instead,
+    ``rte_vhost_get_vring_num`` should be used.
+
+  * The following macros are removed in ``rte_virtio_net.h``
+
+    * ``VIRTIO_RXQ``
+    * ``VIRTIO_TXQ``
+    * ``VIRTIO_QNUM``
+
+  * The following net specific header files are removed in ``rte_virtio_net.h``
+
+    * ``linux/virtio_net.h``
+    * ``sys/socket.h``
+    * ``linux/if.h``
+    * ``rte_ether.h``
+
+  * The vhost struct ``virtio_net_device_ops`` is renamed to
+    ``vhost_device_ops``
+
+  * The vhost API ``rte_vhost_driver_session_start`` is removed. Instead,
+    ``rte_vhost_driver_start`` should be used, and there is no need to create
+    a thread to call it.
+
+  * The vhost public header file ``rte_virtio_net.h`` is renamed to
+    ``rte_vhost.h``
+
+
+ABI Changes
+-----------
+
+.. This section should contain ABI changes. Sample format:
+
+   * Add a short 1-2 sentence description of the ABI change that was announced
+     in the previous releases and made in this release. Use fixed width quotes
+     for ``rte_function_names`` or ``rte_struct_names``. Use the past tense.
+
+   This section is a comment. do not overwrite or remove it.
+   Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
+   =========================================================
+
+* **Reorganized the mbuf structure.**
+
+  The order and size of the fields in the ``mbuf`` structure changed,
+  as described in the `New Features`_ section.
+
+* The ``rte_cryptodev_info.sym`` structure has a new field ``max_nb_sessions_per_qp``
+  to support drivers which may support a limited number of sessions per queue_pair.
+
+
+Removed Items
+-------------
+
+.. This section should contain removed items in this release. Sample format:
+
+   * Add a short 1-2 sentence description of the removed item in the past
+     tense.

 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.
+The distributor application consists of four types of threads: a receive
+thread (``lcore_rx()``), a distributor thread (``lcore_dist()``), 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 four types.  Each thread
+has a while loop which will be doing processing and which is terminated
+only upon SIGINT or ctrl+C.
+
+The receive thread receives the packets using ``rte_eth_rx_burst()`` and will
+enqueue them to an rte_ring. The distributor thread will dequeue the packets
+from the ring and assign them to workers (using ``rte_distributor_process()`` API).
+This assignment is based on the tag (or flow ID) 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.  The distributor thread communicates with the worker threads using a
+cache-line swapping mechanism, passing up to 8 mbuf pointers at a time
+(one cache line) to each worker.
 
 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.
+and then finally returning the packets back to the distributor 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.
+The distributor thread will then call the distributor api
+``rte_distributor_returned_pkts()`` to get the processed packets, and will enqueue
+them to another rte_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.

 Statistics
 ----------
 
-Upon SIGINT (or) ctrl+C, the print_stats() function displays the count of packets
-processed at the different stages in the application.
+The main function will print statistics on the console every second. These
+statistics include the number of packets enqueued and dequeued at each stage

-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.

+Server-Node EFD Sample Application
+==================================
+
+This sample application demonstrates the use of EFD library as a flow-level
+load balancer, for more information about the EFD Library please refer to the
+DPDK programmer's guide.
+
+This sample application is a variant of the
+:ref:`client-server sample application <multi_process_app>`
+where a specific target node is specified for every and each flow
+(not in a round-robin fashion as the original load balancing sample application).
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The architecture of the EFD flow-based load balancer sample application is
+presented in the following figure.
+
+.. _figure_efd_sample_app_overview:
+
+.. figure:: img/server_node_efd.*
+
+   Using EFD as a Flow-Level Load Balancer
+
+As shown in :numref:`figure_efd_sample_app_overview`,
+the sample application consists of a front-end node (server)
+using the EFD library to create a load-balancing table for flows,
+for each flow a target backend worker node is specified. The EFD table does not
+store the flow key (unlike a regular hash table), and hence, it can
+individually load-balance millions of flows (number of targets * maximum number
+of flows fit in a flow table per target) while still fitting in CPU cache.
+
+It should be noted that although they are referred to as nodes, the frontend
+server and worker nodes are processes running on the same platform.
+
+Front-end Server
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Upon initializing, the frontend server node (process) creates a flow
+distributor table (based on the EFD library) which is populated with flow
+information and its intended target node.
+
+The sample application assigns a specific target node_id (process) for each of
+the IP destination addresses as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    node_id = i % num_nodes; /* Target node id is generated */
+    ip_dst = rte_cpu_to_be_32(i); /* Specific ip destination address is
+                                     assigned to this target node */
+
+then the pair of <key,target> is inserted into the flow distribution table.
+
+The main loop of the server process receives a burst of packets, then for
+each packet, a flow key (IP destination address) is extracted. The flow
+distributor table is looked up and the target node id is returned.  Packets are
+then enqueued to the specified target node id.
+
+It should be noted that flow distributor table is not a membership test table.
+I.e. if the key has already been inserted the target node id will be correct,
+but for new keys the flow distributor table will return a value (which can be
+valid).
+
+Backend Worker Nodes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Upon initializing, the worker node (process) creates a flow table (a regular
+hash table that stores the key default size 1M flows) which is populated with
+only the flow information that is serviced at this node. This flow key is
+essential to point out new keys that have not been inserted before.
+
+The worker node's main loop is simply receiving packets then doing a hash table
+lookup. If a match occurs then statistics are updated for flows serviced by
+this node. If no match is found in the local hash table then this indicates
+that this is a new flow, which is dropped.
+
+
+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/rte_sdk
+        export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+#.  Build the application executable file:
+
+    .. code-block:: console
+
+        cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/server_node_efd/
+        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
+-----------------------
+
+The application has two binaries to be run: the front-end server
+and the back-end node.
+
+The frontend server (server) has the following command line options::
+
+    ./server [EAL options] -- -p PORTMASK -n NUM_NODES -f NUM_FLOWS
+
+Where,
+
+* ``-p PORTMASK:`` Hexadecimal bitmask of ports to configure
+* ``-n NUM_NODES:`` Number of back-end nodes that will be used
+* ``-f NUM_FLOWS:`` Number of flows to be added in the EFD table (1 million, by default)
+
+The back-end node (node) has the following command line options::
+
+    ./node [EAL options] -- -n NODE_ID
+
+Where,
+
+* ``-n NODE_ID:`` Node ID, which cannot be equal or higher than NUM_MODES
+
+
+First, the server app must be launched, with the number of nodes that will be run.
+Once it has been started, the node instances can be run, with different NODE_ID.
+These instances have to be run as secondary processes, with ``--proc-type=secondary``
+in the EAL options, which will attach to the primary process memory, and therefore,
+they can access the queues created by the primary process to distribute packets.
+
+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
+:ref:`DPDK Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>` and
+:ref:`DPDK Getting Started Guide for FreeBSD <freebsd_gsg>`.
+
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+As described in previous sections, there are two processes in this example.
+
+The first process, the front-end server, creates and populates the EFD table,
+which is used to distribute packets to nodes, which the number of flows
+specified in the command line (1 million, by default).
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    static void
+    create_efd_table(void)
+    {
+        uint8_t socket_id = rte_socket_id();
+
+        /* create table */
+        efd_table = rte_efd_create("flow table", num_flows * 2, sizeof(uint32_t),
+                        1 << socket_id, socket_id);
+
+        if (efd_table == NULL)
+            rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Problem creating the flow table\n");
+    }
+
+    static void
+    populate_efd_table(void)
+    {
+        unsigned int i;
+        int32_t ret;
+        uint32_t ip_dst;
+        uint8_t socket_id = rte_socket_id();
+        uint64_t node_id;
+
+        /* Add flows in table */
+        for (i = 0; i < num_flows; i++) {
+            node_id = i % num_nodes;
+
+            ip_dst = rte_cpu_to_be_32(i);
+            ret = rte_efd_update(efd_table, socket_id,
+                            (void *)&ip_dst, (efd_value_t)node_id);
+            if (ret < 0)
+                rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Unable to add entry %u in "
+                                    "EFD table\n", i);
+        }
+
+        printf("EFD table: Adding 0x%x keys\n", num_flows);
+    }
+
+After initialization, packets are received from the enabled ports, and the IPv4
+address from the packets is used as a key to look up in the EFD table,
+which tells the node where the packet has to be distributed.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    static void
+    process_packets(uint32_t port_num __rte_unused, struct rte_mbuf *pkts[],
+            uint16_t rx_count, unsigned int socket_id)
+    {
+        uint16_t i;
+        uint8_t node;
+        efd_value_t data[EFD_BURST_MAX];
+        const void *key_ptrs[EFD_BURST_MAX];
+
+        struct ipv4_hdr *ipv4_hdr;
+        uint32_t ipv4_dst_ip[EFD_BURST_MAX];
+
+        for (i = 0; i < rx_count; i++) {
+            /* Handle IPv4 header.*/
+            ipv4_hdr = rte_pktmbuf_mtod_offset(pkts[i], struct ipv4_hdr *,
+                    sizeof(struct ether_hdr));
+            ipv4_dst_ip[i] = ipv4_hdr->dst_addr;
+            key_ptrs[i] = (void *)&ipv4_dst_ip[i];
+        }
+
+        rte_efd_lookup_bulk(efd_table, socket_id, rx_count,
+                    (const void **) key_ptrs, data);
+        for (i = 0; i < rx_count; i++) {
+            node = (uint8_t) ((uintptr_t)data[i]);
+
+            if (node >= num_nodes) {
+                /*
+                 * Node is out of range, which means that
+                 * flow has not been inserted
+                 */
+                flow_dist_stats.drop++;
+                rte_pktmbuf_free(pkts[i]);
+            } else {
+                flow_dist_stats.distributed++;
+                enqueue_rx_packet(node, pkts[i]);
+            }
+        }
+
+        for (i = 0; i < num_nodes; i++)
+            flush_rx_queue(i);
+    }
+
+The burst of packets received is enqueued in temporary buffers (per node),
+and enqueued in the shared ring between the server and the node.
+After this, a new burst of packets is received and this process is
+repeated infinitely.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    static void
+    flush_rx_queue(uint16_t node)
+    {
+        uint16_t j;
+        struct node *cl;
+
+        if (cl_rx_buf[node].count == 0)
+            return;
+
+        cl = &nodes[node];
+        if (rte_ring_enqueue_bulk(cl->rx_q, (void **)cl_rx_buf[node].buffer,
+                cl_rx_buf[node].count, NULL) != cl_rx_buf[node].count){
+            for (j = 0; j < cl_rx_buf[node].count; j++)
+                rte_pktmbuf_free(cl_rx_buf[node].buffer[j]);
+            cl->stats.rx_drop += cl_rx_buf[node].count;
+        } else
+            cl->stats.rx += cl_rx_buf[node].count;
+
+        cl_rx_buf[node].count = 0;
+    }
+
+The second process, the back-end node, receives the packets from the shared
+ring with the server and send them out, if they belong to the node.
+
+At initialization, it attaches to the server process memory, to have
+access to the shared ring, parameters and statistics.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    rx_ring = rte_ring_lookup(get_rx_queue_name(node_id));
+    if (rx_ring == NULL)
+        rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Cannot get RX ring - "
+                "is server process running?\n");
+
+    mp = rte_mempool_lookup(PKTMBUF_POOL_NAME);
+    if (mp == NULL)
+        rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Cannot get mempool for mbufs\n");
+
+    mz = rte_memzone_lookup(MZ_SHARED_INFO);
+    if (mz == NULL)
+        rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Cannot get port info structure\n");
+    info = mz->addr;
+    tx_stats = &(info->tx_stats[node_id]);
+    filter_stats = &(info->filter_stats[node_id]);
+
+Then, the hash table that contains the flows that will be handled
+by the node is created and populated.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    static struct rte_hash *
+    create_hash_table(const struct shared_info *info)
+    {
+        uint32_t num_flows_node = info->num_flows / info->num_nodes;
+        char name[RTE_HASH_NAMESIZE];
+        struct rte_hash *h;
+
+        /* create table */
+        struct rte_hash_parameters hash_params = {
+            .entries = num_flows_node * 2, /* table load = 50% */
+            .key_len = sizeof(uint32_t), /* Store IPv4 dest IP address */
+            .socket_id = rte_socket_id(),
+            .hash_func_init_val = 0,

+

+        uint32_t num_flows_node = 0;
+        uint64_t target_node;
+

+
+        }
+
+        printf("Hash table: Adding 0x%x keys\n", num_flows_node);
+    }
+
+After initialization, packets are dequeued from the shared ring
+(from the server) and, like in the server process,
+the IPv4 address from the packets is used as a key to look up in the hash table.
+If there is a hit, packet is stored in a buffer, to be eventually transmitted
+in one of the enabled ports. If key is not there, packet is dropped, since the
+flow is not handled by the node.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    static inline void
+    handle_packets(struct rte_hash *h, struct rte_mbuf **bufs, uint16_t num_packets)
+    {

+
+        for (i = 0; i < num_packets; i++) {

+            key_ptrs[i] = &ipv4_dst_ip[i];
+        }
+        /* Check if packets belongs to any flows handled by this node */
+        rte_hash_lookup_bulk(h, key_ptrs, num_packets, positions);
+
+        for (i = 0; i < num_packets; i++) {

+            }
+        }
+    }
+
+Finally, note that both processes updates statistics, such as transmitted, received
+and dropped packets, which are shown and refreshed by the server app.

+Flow rules management
+---------------------
+
+Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
+``flow`` command (validation, creation, destruction and queries).
+
+Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
+features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
+not recommended.
+
+``flow`` syntax
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
+of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
+other commands, in particular:
+
+- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
+  token, not that of the entire command.
+
+- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
+  in the contextual help).
+
+The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
+their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
+following sections.
+
+- Check whether a flow rule can be created::
+
+   flow validate {port_id}
+       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
+       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
+       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
+
+- Create a flow rule::
+
+   flow create {port_id}
+       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
+       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
+       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
+
+- Destroy specific flow rules::
+
+   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
+
+- Destroy all flow rules::
+
+   flow flush {port_id}
+
+- Query an existing flow rule::
+
+   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
+
+- List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
+  identifiers::
+
+   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
+
+Validating flow rules
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
+underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
+bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
+
+   flow validate {port_id}
+      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
+      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
+      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
+
+If successful, it will show::
+
+   Flow rule validated
+
+Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
+
+   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
+
+This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
+described in `Creating flow rules`_.
+
+Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
+index 6 is supported::
+
+   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
+      actions queue index 6 / end
+   Flow rule validated
+   testpmd>
+
+Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
+
+   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
+      actions drop / end
+   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
+   testpmd>
+
+Creating flow rules
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
+to ``rte_flow_create()``::
+
+   flow create {port_id}
+      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
+      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
+      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
+
+If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
+
+   Flow rule #[...] created
+
+Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
+
+   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
+
+Parameters describe in the following order:
+
+- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress* tokens).
+- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
+  *end* pattern item.
+- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
+  action.
+
+These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
+underlying functions.
+
+The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
+
+   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
+
+Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
+one.
+
+**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
+
+Attributes
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
+specified before the ``pattern`` token.
+
+- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
+- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
+- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
+- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
+
+Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
+value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
+
+   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
+
+Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
+
+While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
+simultaneously.
+
+Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
+
+   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
+
+Matching pattern
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
+items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
+
+Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
+rte_flow_item_type``).
+
+The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
+below::
+
+   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
+
+Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
+layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
+unlikely to match any packet::
+
+   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
+
+More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
+documentation.
+
+Several items support additional specification structures, for example
+``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
+
+   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
+      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
+
+This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
+
+In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
+``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
+in a similar fashion.
+
+The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
+and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
+accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
+
+- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
+- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
+- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
+- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
+- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask from a prefix length.
+
+These yield identical results::
+
+   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
+
+::
+
+   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
+
+::
+
+   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
+
+::
+
+   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
+
+::
+
+   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
+
+Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
+
+   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
+
+Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
+
+   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
+      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
+
+Properties can be modified multiple times::
+
+   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
+
+::
+
+   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16

+
+Actions list
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
+`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
+terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
+
+Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
+rte_flow_action_type``).
+
+Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
+
+   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
+      actions drop / end
+
+Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
+there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
+queue index.
+
+This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
+
+   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
+      actions queue index 6 / end
+
+While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
+
+   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
+      actions queue / end
+
+As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
+rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
+
+   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
+
+::
+
+   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
+
+All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
+action of a given type is taken into account::
+
+   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
+
+::
+
+   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
+
+::
+
+   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
+
+Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
+actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
+
+   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
+
+::
+
+   drop / dup index 6 / end # same as above
+
+::
+
+   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
+
+::
+
+   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
+
+Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.
+
+Actions
+^^^^^^^
+
+This section lists supported actions and their attributes, if any.
+
+- ``end``: end list of actions.
+
+- ``void``: no-op action.
+
+- ``passthru``: let subsequent rule process matched packets.
+
+- ``mark``: attach 32 bit value to packets.
+
+  - ``id {unsigned}``: 32 bit value to return with packets.
+
+- ``flag``: flag packets.
+
+- ``queue``: assign packets to a given queue index.
+
+  - ``index {unsigned}``: queue index to use.
+
+- ``drop``: drop packets (note: passthru has priority).
+
+- ``count``: enable counters for this rule.
+
+- ``dup``: duplicate packets to a given queue index.
+
+  - ``index {unsigned}``: queue index to duplicate packets to.
+
+- ``rss``: spread packets among several queues.
+
+  - ``queues [{unsigned} [...]] end``: queue indices to use.
+
+- ``pf``: redirect packets to physical device function.
+
+- ``vf``: redirect packets to virtual device function.
+
+  - ``original {boolean}``: use original VF ID if possible.
+  - ``id {unsigned}``: VF ID to redirect packets to.
+
+Destroying flow rules
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
+by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
+times as necessary::
+
+   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
+
+If successful, it will show::
+
+   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
+
+It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
+message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
+
+   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
+
+``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
+arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
+
+   flow flush {port_id}
+
+Any errors are reported as above.
+
+Creating several rules and destroying them::
+
+   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
+      actions queue index 2 / end
+   Flow rule #0 created
+   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
+      actions queue index 3 / end
+   Flow rule #1 created
+   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
+   Flow rule #1 destroyed
+   Flow rule #0 destroyed
+   testpmd>
+
+The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
+
+   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
+      actions queue index 2 / end
+   Flow rule #0 created
+   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
+      actions queue index 3 / end
+   Flow rule #1 created
+   testpmd> flow flush 0
+   testpmd>
+
+Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
+
+   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
+      actions queue index 2 / end
+   Flow rule #0 created
+   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
+      actions queue index 3 / end
+   Flow rule #1 created
+   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
+   testpmd>
+   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
+   Flow rule #0 destroyed
+   testpmd>
+
+Querying flow rules
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
+ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
+command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
+
+   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
+
+If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
+or the following message::
+
+   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
+
+Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
+error occurred::
+
+   Flow rule #[...] not found
+
+::
+
+   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
+
+Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
+number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
+output has the following format::
+
+   count:
+    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
+    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
+    hits: [...] # number of packets
+    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
+
+Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
+
+   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
+      actions queue index 6 / count / end
+   Flow rule #4 created
+   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
+   count:
+    hits_set: 1
+    bytes_set: 0
+    hits: 386446
+    bytes: 0
+   testpmd>
+
+Listing flow rules
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
+filtered by group identifiers::
+
+   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
+
+This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
+exist::
+
+   Invalid port [...]
+
+Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
+flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
+configured on the device::
+
+   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
+   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
+
+``Attr`` column flags:
+
+- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
+- ``e`` for ``egress``.
+
+Creating several flow rules and listing them::
+
+   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
+      actions queue index 6 / end
+   Flow rule #0 created
+   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
+      actions queue index 2 / end
+   Flow rule #1 created
+   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
+      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
+   Flow rule #2 created
+   testpmd> flow list 0
+   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
+   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
+   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
+   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
+   testpmd>
+
+Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
+
+   testpmd> flow list 1
+   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
+   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
+   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT

+   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
+   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
+   testpmd>
+
+Output can be limited to specific groups::
+
+   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
+   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
+   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT

+
+Sample QinQ flow rules
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
+
+   testpmd> port stop 0
+   testpmd> vlan set qinq on 0
+
+The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
+
+To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
+
+   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0xa100 0
+   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x9100 0
+   testpmd> port start 0
+
+Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
+
+::
+
+   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
+       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end
+   Flow rule #0 validated
+
+   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 4 /
+       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 123 / queue index 0 / end
+   Flow rule #0 created
+
+   testpmd> flow list 0
+   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
+   0       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>VF QUEUE
+
+Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a queue on the host.
+
+::

+dpdk-test-crypto-perf Application
+=================================
+
+The ``dpdk-test-crypto-perf`` tool is a Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK)
+utility that allows measuring performance parameters of PMDs available in the
+crypto tree. There are available two measurement types: throughput and latency.
+User can use multiply cores to run tests on but only
+one type of crypto PMD can be measured during single application
+execution. Cipher parameters, type of device, type of operation and
+chain mode have to be specified in the command line as application
+parameters. These parameters are checked using device capabilities
+structure.
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+On hardware devices the cycle-count doesn't always represent the actual offload
+cost. The cycle-count only represents the offload cost when the hardware
+accelerator is not fully loaded, when loaded the cpu cycles freed up by the
+offload are still consumed by the test tool and included in the cycle-count.
+These cycles are consumed by retries and inefficient API calls enqueuing and
+dequeuing smaller bursts than specified by the cmdline parameter. This results
+in a larger cycle-count measurement and should not be interpreted as an offload
+cost measurement.
+
+On hardware devices the throughput measurement is not necessarily the maximum
+possible for the device, e.g. it may be necessary to use multiple cores to keep
+the hardware accelerator fully loaded and so measure maximum throughput.
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+**Step 1: PMD setting**
+
+The ``dpdk-test-crypto-perf`` tool depends on crypto device drivers PMD which
+are disabled by default in the build configuration file ``common_base``.
+The crypto device drivers PMD which should be tested can be enabled by setting::
+
+   CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_<name>=y
+
+Setting example for open ssl PMD::
+
+   CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_OPENSSL=y
+
+**Step 2: Linearization setting**
+
+It is possible linearized input segmented packets just before crypto operation
+for devices which doesn't support scatter-gather, and allows to measure
+performance also for this use case.
+
+To set on the linearization options add below definition to the
+``cperf_ops.h`` file::
+
+   #define CPERF_LINEARIZATION_ENABLE
+
+**Step 3: Build the application**
+
+Execute the ``dpdk-setup.sh`` script to build the DPDK library together with the
+``dpdk-test-crypto-perf`` applcation.
+
+Initially, the user must select a DPDK target to choose the correct target type
+and compiler options to use when building the libraries.
+The user must have all libraries, modules, updates and compilers installed
+in the system prior to this,
+as described in the earlier chapters in this Getting Started Guide.
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+The tool application has a number of command line options:
