💖 rte_mtr_meter_profile(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the group chat. this is <pink>rte_mtr_meter_profile</pink>, straight out of the DPDK Library Functions Manual — literally it's the manual page for a struct, and she is iconic. no cap. 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

rte_mtr_meter_profile — the meter profile, bestie. that's her, that's the whole name, she's a struct and she's thriving. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <rte_mtr.h>

✨ Data Fields

  • enum rte_mtr_algorithm alg
  • int packet_mode

(that's the thumbnail version, babes — the full glow-up is down in Field Documentation 👇)

🦋 Detailed Description 🦋

Meter profile. yes that's it, that's the vibe. she is a struct whose whole job is being a meter profile, and she is serving.

Definition at line 128 of file rte_mtr.h.

👑 Field Documentation 👑

enum rte_mtr_algorithm alg

Traffic metering algorithm. that's the algorithm picker, bestie — she decides which flavour of metering we're doing. 💜

Definition at line 130 of file rte_mtr.h.

uint64_t cir

Committed Information Rate (CIR) — and she's measured in bytes per second or packets per second (which one depends on the mode, we'll get there, be patient 🫶).

Definition at line 139 of file rte_mtr.h.

uint64_t cbs

Committed Burst Size (CBS) — measured in bytes or packets. the burst-y bestie. 🍓

Definition at line 142 of file rte_mtr.h.

uint64_t ebs

Excess Burst Size (EBS) — also bytes or packets. the extra bit, the garnish, the ✨. 🌸

Definition at line 145 of file rte_mtr.h.

struct { ... } srtcm_rfc2697

Not me dropping a whole anonymous struct — okay. these items are only valid when alg is set to srTCM - RFC 2697. periodt. don't touch her otherwise. 💀

uint64_t pir

Peak Information Rate (PIR) — bytes per second or packets per second. the peak. the ceiling. the main character. 👑

Definition at line 160 of file rte_mtr.h.

uint64_t pbs

Peak Burst Size (PBS) — bytes or packets. 🌈

Definition at line 166 of file rte_mtr.h.

struct { ... } trtcm_rfc2698

Another anonymous struct, and these items are only valid when alg is set to trTCM - RFC 2698. iykyk. 🧚

uint64_t eir

Excess Information Rate (EIR) — bytes per second or packets per second. 🔥

Definition at line 181 of file rte_mtr.h.

struct { ... } trtcm_rfc4115

And the third anonymous struct, bestie, these items are only valid when alg is set to trTCM - RFC 4115. that's the trio, she's complete. 💖

int packet_mode

okay this one matters, listen up:

  • when it's zero, the byte mode is enabled for the current profile — so the rate and size fields are in bytes per second and bytes, respectively.
  • when it's non-zero, the packet mode is enabled for the current profile — so the rate and size fields are in packets per second and packets, respectively.

so like... she's the switch. the vibe check. zero = bytes, not-zero = packets. easy. that's literally it. 🦋
