🌸 SYNOPSIS

#include <rte_flow.h>

that's it. one include. iconic behaviour honestly ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION

Detailed Description

🚨 Deprecated. Like, for real deprecated. It's giving "we loved her but she's moving on" energy. 💀

See also: rte_flow_item_vxlan — that's the one you probably want, bestie. go check her out. 🫶

This thing matches a VXLAN-GPE header, and it's tied to RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_VXLAN_GPE (spec: draft-ietf-nvo3-vxlan-gpe-05, if you're the type to read the actual drafts — and honestly, respect 👑).

Definition lives at line 1360 of file rte_flow.h.

🎀 FIELD DOCUMENTATION

so the struct has five fields and they're all just chill little byte arrays. let's get into it, no cap.

uint8_t flags

Normally 0x0c (that's the I and P flags, iykyk).

Definition at line 1367 of file rte_flow.h.

uint8_t rsvd0[2]

Reserved, normally 0x0000. it's just vibing there, holding space. 🙈

Definition at line 1368 of file rte_flow.h.

uint8_t protocol

The protocol type. that's the whole job description fr fr.

Definition at line 1369 of file rte_flow.h.

uint8_t vni[3]

The VXLAN identifier. three whole bytes of "which tunnel are we in" energy. 💅

Definition at line 1370 of file rte_flow.h.

uint8_t rsvd1

Reserved, normally 0x00. one lonely reserved byte. she's doing her best. 🌸
