RETA(3)

📦 version 26.03, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this page is all about rte_eth_rss_reta_entry64 — and it lives in the Library Functions Manual, so the manual name is literally rte_eth_rss_reta_entry64(3). It's giving “structure for RSS redirection table entries,” and we're gonna get into it. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Pop this include in and you're in business:

#include <rte_ethdev.h>

🎀 Data Fields 🎀

The data fields are, in order, bestie:

  • uint64_t mask
  • uint16_t reta [RTE_ETH_RETA_GROUP_SIZE]

🌸 Detailed Description 🌸

This is a structure used to configure 64 entries of the Redirection Table of the Receive Side Scaling (RSS) feature of an Ethernet port. If hardware supports more than 64 entries and you need to configure more than that, an array of this structure is needed — that's the move, no cap.
