ENUM DPNI_FS_MISS_ACTION(9)

🌸 enum dpni_fs_miss_action(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 💖

okay so picture this: you're a network card and a frame rolls up that matches, like, nothing in your flow steering table. awkward! 🫠 what do you even do with it? that's literally the whole storyline of enum dpni_fs_miss_action — it's the DPNI Flow Steering miss action, aka the "no match, now what?" menu. three choices, pick your fighter. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

enum dpni_fs_miss_action {
    DPNI_FS_MISS_DROP ,
    DPNI_FS_MISS_EXPLICIT_FLOWID ,
    DPNI_FS_MISS_HASH

};

no cap, that's the entire enum. three constants, zero drama (until you hit a miss, anyway 😭).

🎀 Constants 🎀

okay so these are your three options for when nothing matches — choose wisely, it's giving main character energy for your ingress traffic 👑

• DPNI_FS_MISS_DROP — In case of no-match, drop the frame. simply gone. deleted. not me yeeting your packet into the void 💀
• DPNI_FS_MISS_EXPLICIT_FLOWID — In case of no-match, use explicit flow-id. no guessing, you tell it exactly which flow id to go with, periodt.
• DPNI_FS_MISS_HASH — In case of no-match, distribute using hash. spread the traffic around, lowkey the most chill of the three 🦋
