rte_flow_i...pt_sla_eth(3)

πŸ’– rte_flow_item_icmp6_nd_opt_sla_eth πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the man page for rte_flow_item_icmp6_nd_opt_sla_eth β€” yes the name is a whole paragraph, no we are not renaming it, it's from the DPDK Library Functions Manual and it's iconic actually. πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

rte_flow_item_icmp6_nd_opt_sla_eth β€” the struct that knows your neighbor's Ethernet address, fr fr.


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <rte_flow.h>

πŸŽ€ Data Fields πŸŽ€

uint8_t type
uint8_t length
struct rte_ether_addr sla

three little fields, carrying the whole vibe πŸ’…


πŸ‘‘ Detailed Description πŸ‘‘

So the flow item type you're matching here is RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_ICMP6_ND_OPT_SLA_ETH, periodt.

What does it match? An ICMPv6 neighbor discovery source Ethernet link-layer address option. That's it, that's the whole job. πŸ’–

Normally it's preceded by any of these queens:

  • RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_ICMP6_ND_NA
  • RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_ICMP6_ND_OPT

like, it does not show up first in the lineup. It follows. Main character energy comes second sometimes, it's fine. 🌈

Heads up: it says normally preceded, bestie β€” that's the original wording, so we're keeping it exactly that way, no cap.
