+ * Configure a filter for packet traces.
+ *
+ * This supplements the packet trace feature so that only packets matching
+ * the filter are included in the trace. Currently the only filter is to
+ * keep packets that include a certain node in the trace or exclude a certain
+ * node in the trace.
+ *
+ * The count of traced packets in the "trace add" command is still used to
+ * create a certain number of traces. The "trace filter" command specifies
+ * how many of those packets should be retained in the trace.
+ *
+ * For example, 1Mpps of traffic is arriving and one of those packets is being
+ * dropped. To capture the trace for only that dropped packet, you can do:
+ * trace filter include error-drop 1
+ * trace add dpdk-input 1000000
+ * <wait one second>
+ * show trace
+ *
+ * Note that the filter could be implemented by capturing all traces and just
+ * reducing traces displayed by the "show trace" function. But that would
+ * require a lot of memory for storing the traces, making that infeasible.
+ *
+ * To remove traces from the trace pool that do not include a certain node
+ * requires that the trace be "complete" before applying the filter. To
+ * accomplish this, the trace pool is filtered upon each iteraction of the
+ * main vlib loop. Doing so keeps the number of allocated traces down to a
+ * reasonably low number. This requires that tracing for a buffer is not
+ * performed after the vlib main loop interation completes. i.e. you can't
+ * save away a buffer temporarily then inject it back into the graph and
+ * expect that the trace_index is still valid (such as a traffic manager might
+ * do). A new trace buffer should be allocated for those types of packets.
+ *
+ * The filter can be extended to support multiple nodes and other match
+ * criteria (e.g. input sw_if_index, mac address) but for now just checks if
+ * a specified node is in the trace or not in the trace.
