rte_swx_po...rce_params(3)

✨ NAME ✨

rte_swx_port_source_params — bestie, this is the receipt for making a source port, like the little info card you gotta fill out 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <rte_swx_port_source_sink.h>

🎀 Data Fields

• struct rte_mempool * pool
• const char * file_name
• uint64_t n_loops
• uint32_t n_pkts_max

---

💅 DETAILED DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so. This whole page lives in the Library Functions Manual, and it's all about rte_swx_port_source_params — the parameters you hand over when you're creating a source port. Think of it as the vibe check your port has to pass before it exists ✨

It's defined at line 24 of the file rte_swx_port_source_sink.h, no cap.

🦋 FIELD DOCUMENTATION 🦋

💜 struct rte_mempool * pool

Buffer pool. It must be valid — like, this is not a suggestion, bestie, an invalid pool is giving 💀

Defined at line 26 of the file rte_swx_port_source_sink.h.

---

🍓 const char * file_name

Name of a valid PCAP file to read the input packets from. That's where your packets come from, periodt.

Defined at line 29 of the file rte_swx_port_source_sink.h.

---

🌈 uint64_t n_loops

Number of times to loop through the input PCAP file. And here's the lil trick: set it to 0 and it loops infinite times 🔁 — main character energy, it literally never stops.

Defined at line 34 of the file rte_swx_port_source_sink.h.

---

⭐ uint32_t n_pkts_max

Maximum number of packets to read from the PCAP file. When it's 0, it gets internally set to RTE_SWX_PORT_SOURCE_PKTS_MAX (the glow-up is automatic, you don't do anything). And once those packets are read from the PCAP file, the same packets are looped forever — iconic rerun behaviour, fr fr.

Defined at line 40 of the file rte_swx_port_source_sink.h.
