rte_port_source_params(3)

✨ rte_port_source_params ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is literally a lil struct that tells DPDK where to get its packets from 🎀 it's a manual page for rte_port_source_params and honestly it's giving "small but mighty" energy 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <rte_port_source_sink.h>

Data Fields

• struct rte_mempool * mempool
• const char * file_name
• uint32_t n_bytes_per_pkt

💖 Detailed Description 💖

fr fr, it's defined at line 23 of the file rte_port_source_sink.h. that's it, that's the definition, iconic 👑

🧚 Field Documentation 🧚

struct rte_mempool* mempool

that's your pre-initialized buffer pool 💧 like, she's already ready, you don't gotta set her up, she's been set up ✨

defined at line 25 of the file rte_port_source_sink.h.

const char* file_name

the full path</> of the pcap file you're pulling packets from 📁 — full path, bestie, not "somewhere in my downloads folder", like the whole path, okay? 😭

defined at line 28 of the file rte_port_source_sink.h.

uint32_t n_bytes_per_pkt

how many bytes get read from each packet in that pcap file 👀 and the rules are cute:

• if this value is 0, the whole packet is read — yes, all of it, the full serve 🍓
• if it's bigger than the packet size, the generated packets will contain the whole packet — so no weird truncation nonsense, you just get the packet 🫶

defined at line 33 of the file rte_port_source_sink.h.
