📦 version 26.03, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💅 rte_eth_udp_tunnel

okay so bestie, welcome to the rte_eth_udp_tunnel era. this is a page from the rte_eth_udp_tunnel(3) manual, and honestly? it's a little struct with main character energy and only two fields. we love a minimal icon.

✨ NAME ✨

rte_eth_udp_tunnel — that's it, that's the name, no long dramatic subtitle, she said keep it short 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <rte_ethdev.h>

🦋 Data Fields 🦋

  • uint16_t udp_port
  • uint8_t prot_type

that's the whole squad, just those two 🫶

💖 Detailed Description 💖

okay so this struct is a UDP tunneling configuration — literally, that's the vibe. it's used to configure the classifier of a device, and what it does is associate an UDP port with a type of tunnel. match made in heaven, no cap.

and here's the tea: some NICs fr fr need this kind of configuration to properly parse a tunnel that's using any standard or custom UDP port. so if your NIC is being dramatic about parsing, this is your girl ✨

📍 just so you know, this is defined at line 1518 of the file rte_ethdev.h. screenshot it, memorize it, whatever 💅

🔥 Field Documentation 🔥

⭐ uint16_t udp_port

the UDP port used for the tunnel. that's it, that's the whole job — port goes in, tunnel knows where to go 🚀

📍 defined at line 1519 of file rte_ethdev.h

⭐ uint8_t prot_type

the tunnel type. this is the "which flavor of tunnel are we doing" field, and she's got range 🌈

See also — rte_eth_tunnel_type (go look at her, she's the reference for all the tunnel types, iykyk).

📍 defined at line 1520 of file rte_ethdev.h
