RTE_TABLE_ACTION_NAT_PARAMS(3)

✨ rte_table_action_nat_params ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're learning about rte_table_action_nat_params — yes that's the whole name, it's giving "my parents let me pick my own name and I panicked" energy but we love her anyway 💖. She lives in the rte_table_action.h header (well, in the Library Functions Manual family, iykyk) and she's here to hold your NAT action parameters, one set per table rule. no cap.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <rte_table_action.h>

---

🌸 DETAILED DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically rte_table_action_nat_params is the struct that carries your NAT action parameters — and fr fr, it's per table rule. like, every rule gets to have its own lil NAT moment. main character energy only 💅

fun fact for the lore girlies: it's defined at line 591 of the file rte_table_action.h. iconic, we stan a documented line number 🫶

🦋 Data Fields 🦋

the fields, in order, no skipping:

• int ip_version
• union { uint32_t ipv4; struct rte_ipv6_addr ipv6; } addr
• uint16_t port

---

💜 FIELD DOCUMENTATION 💜

⭐ int ip_version

which IP version addr is repping — non-zero means IPv4, zero means IPv6. that's it, that's the whole vibe check 🌈

defined at line 593 of rte_table_action.h.

⭐ uint32_t ipv4

the IPv4 address. but listen — she's only valid when ip_version is non-zero. so don't be out here reading her when your ip_version is 0, that's not her era bestie 😭

defined at line 598 of rte_table_action.h.

⭐ struct rte_ipv6_addr ipv6

the IPv6 address. and this one is only valid when ip_version is set to 0. same rule, other twin 🌸

defined at line 601 of rte_table_action.h.

⭐ union { ... } addr

it's the IP address. that's the whole description. short, sweet, unbothered, moisturized, in her lane 👑

⭐ uint16_t port

the port. yep. that's it. she said what she said 💀

defined at line 605 of rte_table_action.h.

quick reminder bestie: addr is a union, so ipv4 and ipv6 are sharing the same space — you pick one based on ip_version, you don't get both. don't come for me, that's literally what the manpage says 🎀
