[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v8 1/3] ethdev: add actions to modify TCP header fields

Dekel Peled dekelp at mellanox.com
Sun Jun 30 09:59:08 CEST 2019


Add actions:
- INC_TCP_SEQ - Increase sequence number in the outermost TCP header.
- DEC_TCP_SEQ - Decrease sequence number in the outermost TCP header.
- INC_TCP_ACK - Increase acknowledgment number in the outermost TCP
		header.
- DEC_TCP_ACK - Decrease acknowledgment number in the outermost TCP
		header.

Original work by Xiaoyu Min.

This patch introduces a new approach, using a simple integer instead
of using an action-specific structure for each of these actions.
This approach can be later applied to modify existing actions which
require only a single integer.
