💅 rte_flow_action_sample 💅

okay so bestie, this is the rte_flow_action_sample(3) page from the Library Functions Manual, and honestly? it's giving "small struct, big main character energy." let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

rte_flow_action_sample — the struct itself, the whole vibe, no notes 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <rte_flow.h>

🎀 Data Fields

  • uint32_t ratio
  • const struct rte_flow_action * actions

💖 Detailed Description 💖

⚠️ Warning — EXPERIMENTAL: this structure may change without prior notice. so like… don't get too attached, it might get a glow-up with zero warning 😭

RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SAMPLE

Adds a sample action to a matched flow. literally that's the whole point of it 💅

The matching packets will be duplicated with specified ratio and applied with own set of actions with a fate action, the sampled packet could be redirected to queue or port. All the packets continue processing on the default flow path. so yeah — the copies go do their own thing (queue or port, dealer's choice), and the originals keep living their best life on the default flow path 🌈

When the sample ratio is set to 1 then the packets will be 100% mirrored. Additional action list be supported to add for sampled or mirrored packets. one hundred percent, no cap 👑

🌸 uint32_t ratio

packets sampled equals to '1/ratio'. that's the math, that's the vibe, that's the ratio 🧮✨

🎀 const struct rte_flow_action* actions

sub-action list specific for the sampling hit cases. like a little playlist of actions that only kicks in when the sample hits 🎧
