+/**
+ * @file
+ * RTE Pipeline
+ *
+ * This tool is part of the DPDK Packet Framework tool suite and provides
+ * a standard methodology (logically similar to OpenFlow) for rapid development
+ * of complex packet processing pipelines out of ports, tables and actions.
+ *
+ * <B>Basic operation.</B> A pipeline is constructed by connecting its input
+ * ports to its output ports through a chain of lookup tables. As result of
+ * lookup operation into the current table, one of the table entries (or the
+ * default table entry, in case of lookup miss) is identified to provide the
+ * actions to be executed on the current packet and the associated action
+ * meta-data. The behavior of user actions is defined through the configurable
+ * table action handler, while the reserved actions define the next hop for the
+ * current packet (either another table, an output port or packet drop) and are
+ * handled transparently by the framework.
+ *
+ * <B>Initialization and run-time flows.</B> Once all the pipeline elements
+ * (input ports, tables, output ports) have been created, input ports connected
+ * to tables, table action handlers configured, tables populated with the
+ * initial set of entries (actions and action meta-data) and input ports
+ * enabled, the pipeline runs automatically, pushing packets from input ports
+ * to tables and output ports. At each table, the identified user actions are
+ * being executed, resulting in action meta-data (stored in the table entry)
+ * and packet meta-data (stored with the packet descriptor) being updated. The
+ * pipeline tables can have further updates and input ports can be disabled or
+ * enabled later on as required.
+ *
+ * <B>Multi-core scaling.</B> Typically, each CPU core will run its own
+ * pipeline instance. Complex application-level pipelines can be implemented by
+ * interconnecting multiple CPU core-level pipelines in tree-like topologies,
+ * as the same port devices (e.g. SW rings) can serve as output ports for the
+ * pipeline running on CPU core A, as well as input ports for the pipeline
+ * running on CPU core B. This approach enables the application development
+ * using the pipeline (CPU cores connected serially), cluster/run-to-completion
+ * (CPU cores connected in parallel) or mixed (pipeline of CPU core clusters)
+ * programming models.
+ *
+ * <B>Thread safety.</B> It is possible to have multiple pipelines running on
+ * the same CPU core, but it is not allowed (for thread safety reasons) to have
+ * multiple CPU cores running the same pipeline instance.
