rte_flow_action_sample(3)

💖 rte_flow_action_sample 💖

okay bestie, so this is rte_flow_action_sample(3) — a Library Functions Manual situation, and we're literally about to learn how to sample packets in DPDK. no cap, it's giving very "duplicate my traffic, but make it fashion" ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

rte_flow_action_sample — the icon, the moment, the struct 🫶

---

✨ 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 don't get too attached, she's still in her glow-up era.

RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SAMPLE

Adds a sample action to a matched flow. periodt 💅

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, iykyk. Meanwhile, all the packets continue processing on the default flow path. so the originals keep it moving, no drama 🌈

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. iconic behavior tbh ✨

🦋 Field Documentation 🦋

🌟 uint32_t ratio

packets sampled equals to '1/ratio'. literally just math, babe 🧮

Definition at line 4335 of file rte_flow.h.

🌟 const struct rte_flow_action* actions

sub-action list specific for the sampling hit cases. the lil squad that runs when the sample actually hits 💫
