+Compiling the Sample Applications
+=================================
+
+This section explains how to compile the DPDK sample applications.
+
+To compile all the sample applications
+--------------------------------------
+
+
+Set the path to DPDK source code if its not set:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+
+Go to DPDK source:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ cd $RTE_SDK
+
+Build DPDK:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make defconfig
+ make
+
+Build the sample applications:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=build
+ make -C examples
+
+For other possible ``RTE_TARGET`` values and additional information on
+compiling see
+:ref:`Compiling DPDK on Linux <linux_gsg_compiling_dpdk>` or
+:ref:`Compiling DPDK on FreeBSD <building_from_source>`.
+Applications are output to: ``$RTE_SDK/examples/app-dir/build`` or
+``$RTE_SDK/examples/app-dir/$RTE_TARGET``.
+
+
+In the example above the compiled application is written to the ``build`` subdirectory.
+To have the applications written to a different location,
+the ``O=/path/to/build/directory`` option may be specified in the make command.
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make O=/tmp
+
+To build the applications for debugging use the ``DEBUG`` option.
+This option adds some extra flags, disables compiler optimizations and
+sets verbose output.
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make DEBUG=1
+
+
+To compile a single application
+-------------------------------
+
+Set the path to DPDK source code:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+
+Go to DPDK source:

+ make defconfig
+ make
+
+Go to the sample application directory. Unless otherwise specified the sample
+applications are located in ``$RTE_SDK/examples/``.
+
+
+Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console

+Flow Classify Sample Application
+================================
+
+The Flow Classify sample application is based on the simple *skeleton* example
+of a forwarding application.
+
+It is intended as a demonstration of the basic components of a DPDK forwarding
+application which uses the Flow Classify library API's.
+
+Please refer to the
+:doc:`../prog_guide/flow_classify_lib`
+for more information.
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+To compile the sample application see :doc:`compiling`.
+
+The application is located in the ``flow_classify`` sub-directory.

+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The following sections provide an explanation of the main components of the
+code.
+
+All DPDK library functions used in the sample code are prefixed with ``rte_``
+and are explained in detail in the *DPDK API Documentation*.
+
+ACL field definitions for the IPv4 5 tuple rule
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following field definitions are used when creating the ACL table during
+initialisation of the ``Flow Classify`` application..
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ enum {
+ PROTO_FIELD_IPV4,
+ SRC_FIELD_IPV4,
+ DST_FIELD_IPV4,
+ SRCP_FIELD_IPV4,
+ DSTP_FIELD_IPV4,
+ NUM_FIELDS_IPV4
+ };
+
+ enum {
+ PROTO_INPUT_IPV4,
+ SRC_INPUT_IPV4,
+ DST_INPUT_IPV4,
+ SRCP_DESTP_INPUT_IPV4
+ };
+
+ static struct rte_acl_field_def ipv4_defs[NUM_FIELDS_IPV4] = {
+ /* first input field - always one byte long. */
+ {
+ .type = RTE_ACL_FIELD_TYPE_BITMASK,
+ .size = sizeof(uint8_t),
+ .field_index = PROTO_FIELD_IPV4,
+ .input_index = PROTO_INPUT_IPV4,
+ .offset = sizeof(struct ether_hdr) +
+ offsetof(struct ipv4_hdr, next_proto_id),
+ },
+ /* next input field (IPv4 source address) - 4 consecutive bytes. */
+ {
+ /* rte_flow uses a bit mask for IPv4 addresses */
+ .type = RTE_ACL_FIELD_TYPE_BITMASK,
+ .size = sizeof(uint32_t),
+ .field_index = SRC_FIELD_IPV4,
+ .input_index = SRC_INPUT_IPV4,
+ .offset = sizeof(struct ether_hdr) +
+ offsetof(struct ipv4_hdr, src_addr),
+ },
+ /* next input field (IPv4 destination address) - 4 consecutive bytes. */
+ {
+ /* rte_flow uses a bit mask for IPv4 addresses */
+ .type = RTE_ACL_FIELD_TYPE_BITMASK,
+ .size = sizeof(uint32_t),
+ .field_index = DST_FIELD_IPV4,
+ .input_index = DST_INPUT_IPV4,
+ .offset = sizeof(struct ether_hdr) +
+ offsetof(struct ipv4_hdr, dst_addr),
+ },
+ /*
+ * Next 2 fields (src & dst ports) form 4 consecutive bytes.
+ * They share the same input index.
+ */
+ {
+ /* rte_flow uses a bit mask for protocol ports */
+ .type = RTE_ACL_FIELD_TYPE_BITMASK,
+ .size = sizeof(uint16_t),
+ .field_index = SRCP_FIELD_IPV4,
+ .input_index = SRCP_DESTP_INPUT_IPV4,
+ .offset = sizeof(struct ether_hdr) +
+ sizeof(struct ipv4_hdr) +
+ offsetof(struct tcp_hdr, src_port),
+ },
+ {
+ /* rte_flow uses a bit mask for protocol ports */
+ .type = RTE_ACL_FIELD_TYPE_BITMASK,
+ .size = sizeof(uint16_t),
+ .field_index = DSTP_FIELD_IPV4,
+ .input_index = SRCP_DESTP_INPUT_IPV4,
+ .offset = sizeof(struct ether_hdr) +
+ sizeof(struct ipv4_hdr) +
+ offsetof(struct tcp_hdr, dst_port),
+ },
+ };
+
+The Main Function
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``main()`` function performs the initialization and calls the execution
+threads for each lcore.
+
+The first task is to initialize the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL).
+The ``argc`` and ``argv`` arguments are provided to the ``rte_eal_init()``
+function. The value returned is the number of parsed arguments:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ int ret = rte_eal_init(argc, argv);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Error with EAL initialization\n");
+
+It then parses the flow_classify application arguments
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ ret = parse_args(argc, argv);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Invalid flow_classify parameters\n");
+
+The ``main()`` function also allocates a mempool to hold the mbufs
+(Message Buffers) used by the application:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ mbuf_pool = rte_mempool_create("MBUF_POOL",
+ NUM_MBUFS * nb_ports,
+ MBUF_SIZE,
+ MBUF_CACHE_SIZE,
+ sizeof(struct rte_pktmbuf_pool_private),
+ rte_pktmbuf_pool_init, NULL,
+ rte_pktmbuf_init, NULL,
+ rte_socket_id(),
+ 0);
+
+mbufs are the packet buffer structure used by DPDK. They are explained in
+detail in the "Mbuf Library" section of the *DPDK Programmer's Guide*.
+
+The ``main()`` function also initializes all the ports using the user defined
+``port_init()`` function which is explained in the next section:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ for (portid = 0; portid < nb_ports; portid++) {
+ if (port_init(portid, mbuf_pool) != 0) {
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE,
+ "Cannot init port %" PRIu8 "\n", portid);
+ }
+ }
+
+The ``main()`` function creates the ``flow classifier object`` and adds an ``ACL
+table`` to the flow classifier.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct flow_classifier {
+ struct rte_flow_classifier *cls;
+ uint32_t table_id[RTE_FLOW_CLASSIFY_TABLE_MAX];
+ };
+
+ struct flow_classifier_acl {
+ struct flow_classifier cls;
+ } __rte_cache_aligned;
+
+ /* Memory allocation */
+ size = RTE_CACHE_LINE_ROUNDUP(sizeof(struct flow_classifier_acl));
+ cls_app = rte_zmalloc(NULL, size, RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE);
+ if (cls_app == NULL)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Cannot allocate classifier memory\n");
+
+ cls_params.name = "flow_classifier";
+ cls_params.socket_id = socket_id;
+ cls_params.type = RTE_FLOW_CLASSIFY_TABLE_TYPE_ACL;
+
+ cls_app->cls = rte_flow_classifier_create(&cls_params);
+ if (cls_app->cls == NULL) {
+ rte_free(cls_app);
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Cannot create classifier\n");
+ }
+
+ /* initialise ACL table params */
+ table_acl_params.name = "table_acl_ipv4_5tuple";
+ table_acl_params.n_rule_fields = RTE_DIM(ipv4_defs);
+ table_acl_params.n_rules = FLOW_CLASSIFY_MAX_RULE_NUM;
+ memcpy(table_acl_params.field_format, ipv4_defs, sizeof(ipv4_defs));
+
+ /* initialise table create params */
+ cls_table_params.ops = &rte_table_acl_ops,
+ cls_table_params.arg_create = &table_acl_params,
+ cls_table_params.table_metadata_size = 0;
+
+ ret = rte_flow_classify_table_create(cls_app->cls, &cls_table_params,
+ &cls->table_id[0]);
+ if (ret) {
+ rte_flow_classifier_free(cls_app->cls);
+ rte_free(cls);
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Failed to create classifier table\n");
+ }
+
+It then reads the ipv4_rules_file.txt file and initialises the parameters for
+the ``rte_flow_classify_table_entry_add`` API.
+This API adds a rule to the ACL table.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ if (add_rules(parm_config.rule_ipv4_name)) {
+ rte_flow_classifier_free(cls_app->cls);
+ rte_free(cls_app);
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Failed to add rules\n");
+ }
+
+Once the initialization is complete, the application is ready to launch a
+function on an lcore. In this example ``lcore_main()`` is called on a single
+lcore.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ lcore_main(cls_app);
+
+The ``lcore_main()`` function is explained below.
+
+The Port Initialization Function
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The main functional part of the port initialization used in the Basic
+Forwarding application is shown below:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static inline int
+ port_init(uint8_t port, struct rte_mempool *mbuf_pool)
+ {
+ struct rte_eth_conf port_conf = port_conf_default;
+ const uint16_t rx_rings = 1, tx_rings = 1;
+ struct ether_addr addr;
+ int retval;
+ uint16_t q;
+
+ if (port >= rte_eth_dev_count())
+ return -1;
+
+ /* Configure the Ethernet device. */
+ retval = rte_eth_dev_configure(port, rx_rings, tx_rings, &port_conf);
+ if (retval != 0)
+ return retval;
+
+ /* Allocate and set up 1 RX queue per Ethernet port. */
+ for (q = 0; q < rx_rings; q++) {
+ retval = rte_eth_rx_queue_setup(port, q, RX_RING_SIZE,
+ rte_eth_dev_socket_id(port), NULL, mbuf_pool);
+ if (retval < 0)
+ return retval;
+ }
+
+ /* Allocate and set up 1 TX queue per Ethernet port. */
+ for (q = 0; q < tx_rings; q++) {
+ retval = rte_eth_tx_queue_setup(port, q, TX_RING_SIZE,
+ rte_eth_dev_socket_id(port), NULL);
+ if (retval < 0)
+ return retval;
+ }
+
+ /* Start the Ethernet port. */
+ retval = rte_eth_dev_start(port);
+ if (retval < 0)
+ return retval;
+
+ /* Display the port MAC address. */
+ rte_eth_macaddr_get(port, &addr);
+ printf("Port %u MAC: %02" PRIx8 " %02" PRIx8 " %02" PRIx8
+ " %02" PRIx8 " %02" PRIx8 " %02" PRIx8 "\n",
+ port,
+ addr.addr_bytes[0], addr.addr_bytes[1],
+ addr.addr_bytes[2], addr.addr_bytes[3],
+ addr.addr_bytes[4], addr.addr_bytes[5]);
+
+ /* Enable RX in promiscuous mode for the Ethernet device. */
+ rte_eth_promiscuous_enable(port);
+
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+The Ethernet ports are configured with default settings using the
+``rte_eth_dev_configure()`` function and the ``port_conf_default`` struct.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static const struct rte_eth_conf port_conf_default = {
+ .rxmode = { .max_rx_pkt_len = ETHER_MAX_LEN }
+ };
+
+For this example the ports are set up with 1 RX and 1 TX queue using the
+``rte_eth_rx_queue_setup()`` and ``rte_eth_tx_queue_setup()`` functions.
+
+The Ethernet port is then started:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ retval = rte_eth_dev_start(port);
+
+
+Finally the RX port is set in promiscuous mode:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ rte_eth_promiscuous_enable(port);
+
+The Add Rules function
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``add_rules`` function reads the ``ipv4_rules_file.txt`` file and calls the
+``add_classify_rule`` function which calls the
+``rte_flow_classify_table_entry_add`` API.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static int
+ add_rules(const char *rule_path)
+ {
+ FILE *fh;
+ char buff[LINE_MAX];
+ unsigned int i = 0;
+ unsigned int total_num = 0;
+ struct rte_eth_ntuple_filter ntuple_filter;
+
+ fh = fopen(rule_path, "rb");
+ if (fh == NULL)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "%s: Open %s failed\n", __func__,
+ rule_path);
+
+ fseek(fh, 0, SEEK_SET);
+
+ i = 0;
+ while (fgets(buff, LINE_MAX, fh) != NULL) {
+ i++;
+
+ if (is_bypass_line(buff))
+ continue;
+
+ if (total_num >= FLOW_CLASSIFY_MAX_RULE_NUM - 1) {
+ printf("\nINFO: classify rule capacity %d reached\n",
+ total_num);
+ break;
+ }
+
+ if (parse_ipv4_5tuple_rule(buff, &ntuple_filter) != 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE,
+ "%s Line %u: parse rules error\n",
+ rule_path, i);
+
+ if (add_classify_rule(&ntuple_filter) != 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "add rule error\n");
+
+ total_num++;
+ }
+
+ fclose(fh);
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+
+The Lcore Main function
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+As we saw above the ``main()`` function calls an application function on the
+available lcores.
+The ``lcore_main`` function calls the ``rte_flow_classifier_query`` API.
+For the Basic Forwarding application the ``lcore_main`` function looks like the
+following:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* flow classify data */
+ static int num_classify_rules;
+ static struct rte_flow_classify_rule *rules[MAX_NUM_CLASSIFY];
+ static struct rte_flow_classify_ipv4_5tuple_stats ntuple_stats;
+ static struct rte_flow_classify_stats classify_stats = {
+ .stats = (void *)&ntuple_stats
+ };
+
+ static __attribute__((noreturn)) void
+ lcore_main(cls_app)
+ {
+ const uint8_t nb_ports = rte_eth_dev_count();
+ uint8_t port;
+
+ /*
+ * Check that the port is on the same NUMA node as the polling thread
+ * for best performance.
+ */
+ for (port = 0; port < nb_ports; port++)
+ if (rte_eth_dev_socket_id(port) > 0 &&
+ rte_eth_dev_socket_id(port) != (int)rte_socket_id()) {
+ printf("\n\n");
+ printf("WARNING: port %u is on remote NUMA node\n",
+ port);
+ printf("to polling thread.\n");
+ printf("Performance will not be optimal.\n");
+
+ printf("\nCore %u forwarding packets. \n",
+ rte_lcore_id());
+ printf("[Ctrl+C to quit]\n
+ }
+
+ /* Run until the application is quit or killed. */
+ for (;;) {
+ /*
+ * Receive packets on a port and forward them on the paired
+ * port. The mapping is 0 -> 1, 1 -> 0, 2 -> 3, 3 -> 2, etc.
+ */
+ for (port = 0; port < nb_ports; port++) {
+
+ /* Get burst of RX packets, from first port of pair. */
+ struct rte_mbuf *bufs[BURST_SIZE];
+ const uint16_t nb_rx = rte_eth_rx_burst(port, 0,
+ bufs, BURST_SIZE);
+
+ if (unlikely(nb_rx == 0))
+ continue;
+
+ for (i = 0; i < MAX_NUM_CLASSIFY; i++) {
+ if (rules[i]) {
+ ret = rte_flow_classifier_query(
+ cls_app->cls,
+ cls_app->table_id[0],
+ bufs, nb_rx, rules[i],
+ &classify_stats);
+ if (ret)
+ printf(
+ "rule [%d] query failed ret [%d]\n\n",
+ i, ret);
+ else {
+ printf(
+ "rule[%d] count=%"PRIu64"\n",
+ i, ntuple_stats.counter1);
+
+ printf("proto = %d\n",
+ ntuple_stats.ipv4_5tuple.proto);
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+ /* Send burst of TX packets, to second port of pair. */
+ const uint16_t nb_tx = rte_eth_tx_burst(port ^ 1, 0,
+ bufs, nb_rx);
+
+ /* Free any unsent packets. */
+ if (unlikely(nb_tx < nb_rx)) {
+ uint16_t buf;
+ for (buf = nb_tx; buf < nb_rx; buf++)
+ rte_pktmbuf_free(bufs[buf]);
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+The main work of the application is done within the loop:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ for (;;) {
+ for (port = 0; port < nb_ports; port++) {
+
+ /* Get burst of RX packets, from first port of pair. */
+ struct rte_mbuf *bufs[BURST_SIZE];
+ const uint16_t nb_rx = rte_eth_rx_burst(port, 0,
+ bufs, BURST_SIZE);
+
+ if (unlikely(nb_rx == 0))
+ continue;
+
+ /* Send burst of TX packets, to second port of pair. */
+ const uint16_t nb_tx = rte_eth_tx_burst(port ^ 1, 0,
+ bufs, nb_rx);
+
+ /* Free any unsent packets. */
+ if (unlikely(nb_tx < nb_rx)) {
+ uint16_t buf;
+ for (buf = nb_tx; buf < nb_rx; buf++)
+ rte_pktmbuf_free(bufs[buf]);
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+Packets are received in bursts on the RX ports and transmitted in bursts on
+the TX ports. The ports are grouped in pairs with a simple mapping scheme
+using the an XOR on the port number::
+
+ 0 -> 1
+ 1 -> 0
+
+ 2 -> 3
+ 3 -> 2
+
+ etc.
+
+The ``rte_eth_tx_burst()`` function frees the memory buffers of packets that
+are transmitted. If packets fail to transmit, ``(nb_tx < nb_rx)``, then they
+must be freed explicitly using ``rte_pktmbuf_free()``.
+
+The forwarding loop can be interrupted and the application closed using
+``Ctrl-C``.

+Basic RTE Flow Filtering Sample Application
+===========================================
+
+The Basic RTE flow filtering sample application is a simple example of a
+creating a RTE flow rule.
+
+It is intended as a demonstration of the basic components RTE flow rules.
+
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+To compile the application export the path to the DPDK source tree and go to
+the example directory:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/flow_filtering
+
+Set the target, for example:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+See the *DPDK Getting Started* Guide for possible ``RTE_TARGET`` values.
+
+Build the application as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+To run the example in a ``linuxapp`` environment:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/flow -l 1 -n 1
+
+Refer to *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running
+applications and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
+
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The example is build from 2 main files,
+``main.c`` which holds the example logic and ``flow_blocks.c`` that holds the
+implementation for building the flow rule.
+
+The following sections provide an explanation of the main components of the
+code.
+
+All DPDK library functions used in the sample code are prefixed with ``rte_``
+and are explained in detail in the *DPDK API Documentation*.
+
+
+The Main Function
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``main()`` function located in ``main.c`` file performs the initialization
+and runs the main loop function.
+
+The first task is to initialize the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL). The
+``argc`` and ``argv`` arguments are provided to the ``rte_eal_init()``
+function. The value returned is the number of parsed arguments:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ int ret = rte_eal_init(argc, argv);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Error with EAL initialization\n");
+
+
+The ``main()`` also allocates a mempool to hold the mbufs (Message Buffers)
+used by the application:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ mbuf_pool = rte_pktmbuf_pool_create("mbuf_pool", 4096, 128, 0,
+ RTE_MBUF_DEFAULT_BUF_SIZE,
+ rte_socket_id());
+
+Mbufs are the packet buffer structure used by DPDK. They are explained in
+detail in the "Mbuf Library" section of the *DPDK Programmer's Guide*.
+
+The ``main()`` function also initializes all the ports using the user defined
+``init_port()`` function which is explained in the next section:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ init_port();
+
+Once the initialization is complete, we set the flow rule using the
+following code:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* create flow for send packet with */
+ flow = generate_ipv4_flow(port_id, selected_queue,
+ SRC_IP, EMPTY_MASK,
+ DEST_IP, FULL_MASK, &error);
+ if (!flow) {
+ printf("Flow can't be created %d message: %s\n",
+ error.type,
+ error.message ? error.message : "(no stated reason)");
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "error in creating flow");
+ }
+
+In the last part the application is ready to launch the
+``main_loop()`` function. Which is explained below.
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ main_loop();
+
+The Port Initialization Function
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The main functional part of the port initialization used in the flow filtering
+application is shown below:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ init_port(void)
+ {
+ int ret;
+ uint16_t i;
+ struct rte_eth_conf port_conf = {
+ .rxmode = {
+ .split_hdr_size = 0,
+ /**< Header Split disabled */
+ .header_split = 0,
+ /**< IP checksum offload disabled */
+ .hw_ip_checksum = 0,
+ /**< VLAN filtering disabled */
+ .hw_vlan_filter = 0,
+ /**< Jumbo Frame Support disabled */
+ .jumbo_frame = 0,
+ /**< CRC stripped by hardware */
+ .hw_strip_crc = 1,
+ },
+ };
+
+ printf(":: initializing port: %d\n", port_id);
+ ret = rte_eth_dev_configure(port_id,
+ nr_queues, nr_queues, &port_conf);
+ if (ret < 0) {
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE,
+ ":: cannot configure device: err=%d, port=%u\n",
+ ret, port_id);
+ }
+
+ /* only set Rx queues: something we care only so far */
+ for (i = 0; i < nr_queues; i++) {
+ ret = rte_eth_rx_queue_setup(port_id, i, 512,
+ rte_eth_dev_socket_id(port_id),
+ NULL,
+ mbuf_pool);
+ if (ret < 0) {
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE,
+ ":: Rx queue setup failed: err=%d, port=%u\n",
+ ret, port_id);
+ }
+ }
+
+
+ rte_eth_promiscuous_enable(port_id);
+
+ ret = rte_eth_dev_start(port_id);
+ if (ret < 0) {
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE,
+ "rte_eth_dev_start:err=%d, port=%u\n",
+ ret, port_id);
+ }
+
+ assert_link_status();
+
+ printf(":: initializing port: %d done\n", port_id);
+ }
+
+The Ethernet port is configured with default settings using the
+``rte_eth_dev_configure()`` function and the ``port_conf_default`` struct:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct rte_eth_conf port_conf = {
+ .rxmode = {
+ .split_hdr_size = 0,
+ /**< Header Split disabled */
+ .header_split = 0,
+ /**< IP checksum offload disabled */
+ .hw_ip_checksum = 0,
+ /**< VLAN filtering disabled */
+ .hw_vlan_filter = 0,
+ /**< Jumbo Frame Support disabled */
+ .jumbo_frame = 0,
+ /**< CRC stripped by hardware */
+ .hw_strip_crc = 1,
+ },
+ };
+
+ ret = rte_eth_dev_configure(port_id, nr_queues, nr_queues, &port_conf);
+ if (ret < 0) {
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE,
+ ":: cannot configure device: err=%d, port=%u\n",
+ ret, port_id);
+ }
+
+For this example we are configuring number of rx queues that are connected to
+a single port.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ for (i = 0; i < nr_queues; i++) {
+ ret = rte_eth_rx_queue_setup(port_id, i, 512,
+ rte_eth_dev_socket_id(port_id),
+ NULL,
+ mbuf_pool);
+ if (ret < 0) {
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE,
+ ":: Rx queue setup failed: err=%d, port=%u\n",
+ ret, port_id);
+ }
+ }
+
+In the next step we create and apply the flow rule. which is to send packets
+with destination ip equals to 192.168.1.1 to queue number 1. The detail
+explanation of the ``generate_ipv4_flow()`` appears later in this document:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ flow = generate_ipv4_flow(port_id, selected_queue,
+ SRC_IP, EMPTY_MASK,
+ DEST_IP, FULL_MASK, &error);
+
+We are setting the RX port to promiscuous mode:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ rte_eth_promiscuous_enable(port_id);
+
+The last step is to start the port.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ ret = rte_eth_dev_start(port_id);
+ if (ret < 0) {
+ rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "rte_eth_dev_start:err%d, port=%u\n",
+ ret, port_id);
+ }
+
+
+The main_loop function
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+As we saw above the ``main()`` function calls an application function to handle
+the main loop. For the flow filtering application the main_loop function
+looks like the following:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static void
+ main_loop(void)
+ {
+ struct rte_mbuf *mbufs[32];
+ struct ether_hdr *eth_hdr;
+ uint16_t nb_rx;
+ uint16_t i;
+ uint16_t j;
+
+ while (!force_quit) {
+ for (i = 0; i < nr_queues; i++) {
+ nb_rx = rte_eth_rx_burst(port_id,
+ i, mbufs, 32);
+ if (nb_rx) {
+ for (j = 0; j < nb_rx; j++) {
+ struct rte_mbuf *m = mbufs[j];
+
+ eth_hdr = rte_pktmbuf_mtod(m,
+ struct ether_hdr *);
+ print_ether_addr("src=",
+ &eth_hdr->s_addr);
+ print_ether_addr(" - dst=",
+ &eth_hdr->d_addr);
+ printf(" - queue=0x%x",
+ (unsigned int)i);
+ printf("\n");
+ rte_pktmbuf_free(m);
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ /* closing and releasing resources */
+ rte_flow_flush(port_id, &error);
+ rte_eth_dev_stop(port_id);
+ rte_eth_dev_close(port_id);
+ }
+
+The main work of the application is reading the packets from all
+queues and printing for each packet the destination queue:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ while (!force_quit) {
+ for (i = 0; i < nr_queues; i++) {
+ nb_rx = rte_eth_rx_burst(port_id, i, mbufs, 32);
+ if (nb_rx) {
+ for (j = 0; j < nb_rx; j++) {
+ struct rte_mbuf *m = mbufs[j];
+ eth_hdr = rte_pktmbuf_mtod(m, struct ether_hdr *);
+ print_ether_addr("src=", &eth_hdr->s_addr);
+ print_ether_addr(" - dst=", &eth_hdr->d_addr);
+ printf(" - queue=0x%x", (unsigned int)i);
+ printf("\n");
+ rte_pktmbuf_free(m);
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+
+The forwarding loop can be interrupted and the application closed using
+``Ctrl-C``. Which results in closing the port and the device using
+``rte_eth_dev_stop`` and ``rte_eth_dev_close``
+
+The generate_ipv4_flow function
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The generate_ipv4_rule function is responsible for creating the flow rule.
+This function is located in the ``flow_blocks.c`` file.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static struct rte_flow *
+ generate_ipv4_flow(uint8_t port_id, uint16_t rx_q,
+ uint32_t src_ip, uint32_t src_mask,
+ uint32_t dest_ip, uint32_t dest_mask,
+ struct rte_flow_error *error)
+ {
+ struct rte_flow_attr attr;
+ struct rte_flow_item pattern[MAX_PATTERN_NUM];
+ struct rte_flow_action action[MAX_PATTERN_NUM];
+ struct rte_flow *flow = NULL;
+ struct rte_flow_action_queue queue = { .index = rx_q };
+ struct rte_flow_item_eth eth_spec;
+ struct rte_flow_item_eth eth_mask;
+ struct rte_flow_item_vlan vlan_spec;
+ struct rte_flow_item_vlan vlan_mask;
+ struct rte_flow_item_ipv4 ip_spec;
+ struct rte_flow_item_ipv4 ip_mask;
+
+ memset(pattern, 0, sizeof(pattern));
+ memset(action, 0, sizeof(action));
+
+ /*
+ * set the rule attribute.
+ * in this case only ingress packets will be checked.
+ */
+ memset(&attr, 0, sizeof(struct rte_flow_attr));
+ attr.ingress = 1;
+
+ /*
+ * create the action sequence.
+ * one action only, move packet to queue
+ */
+
+ action[0].type = RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_QUEUE;
+ action[0].conf = &queue;
+ action[1].type = RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_END;
+
+ /*
+ * set the first level of the pattern (eth).
+ * since in this example we just want to get the
+ * ipv4 we set this level to allow all.
+ */
+ memset(&eth_spec, 0, sizeof(struct rte_flow_item_eth));
+ memset(&eth_mask, 0, sizeof(struct rte_flow_item_eth));
+ eth_spec.type = 0;
+ eth_mask.type = 0;
+ pattern[0].type = RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_ETH;
+ pattern[0].spec = &eth_spec;
+ pattern[0].mask = &eth_mask;
+
+ /*
+ * setting the second level of the pattern (vlan).
+ * since in this example we just want to get the
+ * ipv4 we also set this level to allow all.
+ */
+ memset(&vlan_spec, 0, sizeof(struct rte_flow_item_vlan));
+ memset(&vlan_mask, 0, sizeof(struct rte_flow_item_vlan));
+ pattern[1].type = RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_VLAN;
+ pattern[1].spec = &vlan_spec;
+ pattern[1].mask = &vlan_mask;
+
+ /*
+ * setting the third level of the pattern (ip).
+ * in this example this is the level we care about
+ * so we set it according to the parameters.
+ */
+ memset(&ip_spec, 0, sizeof(struct rte_flow_item_ipv4));
+ memset(&ip_mask, 0, sizeof(struct rte_flow_item_ipv4));
+ ip_spec.hdr.dst_addr = htonl(dest_ip);
+ ip_mask.hdr.dst_addr = dest_mask;
+ ip_spec.hdr.src_addr = htonl(src_ip);
+ ip_mask.hdr.src_addr = src_mask;
+ pattern[2].type = RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_IPV4;
+ pattern[2].spec = &ip_spec;
+ pattern[2].mask = &ip_mask;
+
+ /* the final level must be always type end */
+ pattern[3].type = RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_END;
+
+ int res = rte_flow_validate(port_id, &attr, pattern, action, error);
+ if(!res)
+ flow = rte_flow_create(port_id, &attr, pattern, action, error);
+
+ return flow;
+ }
+
+The first part of the function is declaring the structures that will be used.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct rte_flow_attr attr;
+ struct rte_flow_item pattern[MAX_PATTERN_NUM];
+ struct rte_flow_action action[MAX_PATTERN_NUM];
+ struct rte_flow *flow;
+ struct rte_flow_error error;
+ struct rte_flow_action_queue queue = { .index = rx_q };
+ struct rte_flow_item_eth eth_spec;
+ struct rte_flow_item_eth eth_mask;
+ struct rte_flow_item_vlan vlan_spec;
+ struct rte_flow_item_vlan vlan_mask;
+ struct rte_flow_item_ipv4 ip_spec;
+ struct rte_flow_item_ipv4 ip_mask;
+
+The following part create the flow attributes, in our case ingress.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ memset(&attr, 0, sizeof(struct rte_flow_attr));
+ attr.ingress = 1;
+
+The third part defines the action to be taken when a packet matches
+the rule. In this case send the packet to queue.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ action[0].type = RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_QUEUE;
+ action[0].conf = &queue;
+ action[1].type = RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_END;
+
+The forth part is responsible for creating the pattern and is build from
+number of step. In each step we build one level of the pattern starting with
+the lowest one.
+
+Setting the first level of the pattern ETH:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ memset(&eth_spec, 0, sizeof(struct rte_flow_item_eth));
+ memset(&eth_mask, 0, sizeof(struct rte_flow_item_eth));

+Introduction to the DPDK Sample Applications
+============================================
+
+The DPDK Sample Applications are small standalone applications which
+demonstrate various features of DPDK. They can be considered as a cookbook of
+DPDK features. Users interested in getting started with DPDK can take the
+applications, try out the features, and then extend them to fit their needs.
+
+
+The DPDK Sample Applications
+----------------------------
+
+Table :numref:`table_sample_apps` shows a list of some of the main sample
+applications that are available in the examples directory of DPDK:

+
+These examples range from simple to reasonably complex but most are designed
+to demonstrate one particular feature of DPDK. Some of the more interesting
+examples are highlighted below.
+
+
+* :doc:`Hello World<hello_world>`: As with most introductions to a
+ programming framework a good place to start is with the Hello World
+ application. The Hello World example sets up the DPDK Environment Abstraction
+ Layer (EAL), and prints a simple "Hello World" message to each of the DPDK
+ enabled cores. This application doesn't do any packet forwarding but it is a
+ good way to test if the DPDK environment is compiled and set up properly.
+
+* :doc:`Basic Forwarding/Skeleton Application<skeleton>`: The Basic
+ Forwarding/Skeleton contains the minimum amount of code required to enable
+ basic packet forwarding with DPDK. This allows you to test if your network
+ interfaces are working with DPDK.
+
+* :doc:`Network Layer 2 forwarding<l2_forward_real_virtual>`: The Network Layer 2
+ forwarding, or ``l2fwd`` application does forwarding based on Ethernet MAC
+ addresses like a simple switch.
+
+* :doc:`Network Layer 3 forwarding<l3_forward>`: The Network Layer3
+ forwarding, or ``l3fwd`` application does forwarding based on Internet
+ Protocol, IPv4 or IPv6 like a simple router.
+
+* :doc:`Packet Distributor<dist_app>`: The Packet Distributor
+ demonstrates how to distribute packets arriving on an Rx port to different
+ cores for processing and transmission.
+
+* :doc:`Multi-Process Application<multi_process>`: The
+ multi-process application shows how two DPDK processes can work together using
+ queues and memory pools to share information.
+
+* :doc:`RX/TX callbacks Application<rxtx_callbacks>`: The RX/TX
+ callbacks sample application is a packet forwarding application that
+ demonstrates the use of user defined callbacks on received and transmitted
+ packets. The application calculates the latency of a packet between RX
+ (packet arrival) and TX (packet transmission) by adding callbacks to the RX
+ and TX packet processing functions.
+
+* :doc:`IPSec Security Gateway<ipsec_secgw>`: The IPSec Security
+ Gateway application is minimal example of something closer to a real world
+ example. This is also a good example of an application using the DPDK
+ Cryptodev framework.
+
+* :doc:`Precision Time Protocol (PTP) client<ptpclient>`: The PTP
+ client is another minimal implementation of a real world application.
+ In this case the application is a PTP client that communicates with a PTP
+ master clock to synchronize time on a Network Interface Card (NIC) using the
+ IEEE1588 protocol.
+
+* :doc:`Quality of Service (QoS) Scheduler<qos_scheduler>`: The QoS
+ Scheduler application demonstrates the use of DPDK to provide QoS scheduling.
+
+There are many more examples shown in the following chapters. Each of the
+documented sample applications show how to compile, configure and run the
+application as well as explaining the main functionality of the code.

+Service Cores Sample Application
+================================
+
+The service cores sample application demonstrates the service cores capabilities
+of DPDK. The service cores infrastructure is part of the DPDK EAL, and allows
+any DPDK component to register a service. A service is a work item or task, that
+requires CPU time to perform its duty.
+
+This sample application registers 5 dummy services. These 5 services are used
+to show how the service_cores API can be used to orchestrate these services to
+run on different service lcores. This orchestration is done by calling the
+service cores APIs, however the sample application introduces a "profile"
+concept to contain the service mapping details. Note that the profile concept
+is application specific, and not a part of the service cores API.
+
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+#. Go to the example directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/service_cores
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+ See the *DPDK Getting Started* Guide for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+To run the example, just execute the binary. Since the application dynamically
+adds service cores in the application code itself, there is no requirement to
+pass a service core-mask as an EAL argument at startup time.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ ./build/service_cores
+
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The following sections provide some explanation of code focusing on
+registering applications from an applications point of view, and modifying the
+service core counts and mappings at runtime.
+
+
+Registering a Service
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following code section shows how to register a service as an application.
+Note that the service component header must be included by the application in
+order to register services: ``rte_service_component.h``, in addition
+to the ordinary service cores header ``rte_service.h`` which provides
+the runtime functions to add, remove and remap service cores.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct rte_service_spec service = {
+ .name = "service_name",
+ };
+ int ret = rte_service_component_register(services, &id);
+ if (ret)
+ return -1;
+
+ /* set the service itself to be ready to run. In the case of
+ * ethdev, eventdev etc PMDs, this will be set when the
+ * appropriate configure or setup function is called.
+ */
+ rte_service_component_runstate_set(id, 1);
+
+ /* Collect statistics for the service */
+ rte_service_set_stats_enable(id, 1);
+
+ /* The application sets the service to running state. Note that this
+ * function enables the service to run - while the 'component' version
+ * of this function (as above) marks the service itself as ready */
+ ret = rte_service_runstate_set(id, 1);
+
+
+Controlling A Service Core
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This section demonstrates how to add a service core. The ``rte_service.h``
+header file provides the functions for dynamically adding and removing cores.
+The APIs to add and remove cores use lcore IDs similar to existing DPDK
+functions.
+
+These are the functions to start a service core, and have it run a service:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* the lcore ID to use as a service core */
+ uint32_t service_core_id = 7;
+ ret = rte_service_lcore_add(service_core_id);
+ if(ret)
+ return -1;
+
+ /* service cores are in "stopped" state when added, so start it */
+ ret = rte_service_lcore_start(service_core_id);
+ if(ret)
+ return -1;
+
+ /* map a service to the service core, causing it to run the service */
+ uint32_t service_id; /* ID of a registered service */
+ uint32_t enable = 1; /* 1 maps the service, 0 unmaps */
+ ret = rte_service_map_lcore_set(service_id, service_core_id, enable);
+ if(ret)
+ return -1;
+
+
+Removing A Service Core
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To remove a service core, the steps are similar to adding but in reverse order.
+Note that it is not allowed to remove a service core if the service is running,
+and the service-core is the only core running that service (see documentation
+for ``rte_service_lcore_stop`` function for details).
+
+
+Conclusion
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The service cores infrastructure provides DPDK with two main features. The first
+is to abstract away hardware differences: the service core can CPU cycles to
+a software fallback implementation, allowing the application to be abstracted
+from the difference in HW / SW availability. The second feature is a flexible
+method of registering functions to be run, allowing the running of the
+functions to be scaled across multiple CPUs.
