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\&. .PP \fBBasic operation\&.\fP 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\&. .PP \fBInitialization and run-time flows\&.\fP 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\&. .PP \fBMulti-core scaling\&.\fP 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\&. .PP \fBThread safety\&.\fP 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\&. .PP Definition in file \fBrte_pipeline\&.h\fP\&. .SH "Macro Definition Documentation" .PP .SS "#define RTE_PIPELINE_TABLE_MAX 64" Maximum number of tables allowed for any given pipeline instance\&.

The hijacked packets are removed from any further pipeline processing, with the action handler now having the full ownership for these packets\&. .PP The action handler can further send the hijacked packets out through any pipeline output port by calling the rte_pipeline_ah_port_out_packet_insert() function\&.

The dropped packets are removed from any further pipeline processing and the packet buffers are eventually freed to their buffer pool\&. .PP This function updates the drop statistics counters correctly, therefore the recommended approach for dropping packets by the action handlers is to call this function as opposed to the action handler hijacking the packets first and then dropping them invisibly to the pipeline (by using the \fBrte_pktmbuf_free()\fP function)\&. .PP \fBParameters\fP .RS 4 \fIp\fP Handle to pipeline instance .br \fIpkts_mask\fP 64-bit bitmask specifying which of the packets handed over for processing to the action handler is to be dropped by the action handler\&.
