rte_eth_mac_vlan_flow(3)

πŸ’– rte_eth_mac_vlan_flow(3) πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is a page from the DPDK library manual (that's the Data Plane Development Kit, iykyk), and today's main character is a lil struct called rte_eth_mac_vlan_flow. she's not the whole show, she's one piece of the MAC VLAN flow setup situation. let's get into it 🌸


✨ NAME ✨

rte_eth_mac_vlan_flow β€” that's it, that's the name, no cap


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <rte_eth_ctrl.h>

πŸŽ€ Data Fields

  • struct rte_ether_addr mac_addr

✨ Detailed Description ✨

so basically this is a structure used to define the input for MAC VLAN flow. think of it as the little form you fill out to tell the NIC "hey, match on THIS", and then the hardware does its thing. it's giving "permission slip but for packet filtering" πŸ’…

fr fr, the official definition lives at line 240 of the file rte_eth_ctrl.h. that's the receipts, no guessing 🧾


✨ Field Documentation ✨

🌈 struct rte_ether_addr mac_addr

the mac_addr field is the MAC address to match. that's the whole vibe β€” you put the address here, and the flow definition knows what to look for. she's the main character energy of this struct, lowkey the only character, but still iconic πŸ‘‘

definition at line 241 of rte_eth_ctrl.h, in case you need to go look at her in her natural habitat πŸ¦‹

heads up bestie: this page is only documenting the struct and its one field, so if you were looking for the functions that use it, this ain't them. check the SEE ALSO situation in the real header β€” this page doesn't list any references πŸ’€

okay that's the whole page, short and sweet, a lil snack not a meal πŸ“ this was DPDK Version 25.11.3, and the rte_eth_mac_vlan_flow(3) manual page is officially wrapped. go forth and match those MAC addresses, you got this πŸ’–πŸŽ€πŸ«Ά
