[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 21/29] Packet Framework librte_pipeline: Pipeline

Cristian Dumitrescu cristian.dumitrescu at intel.com
Tue May 27 19:09:44 CEST 2014


The Packet Frameowrk pipeline library provides a standard methodology (logically similar to OpenFlow) for rapid development of complex packet processing pipelines out of ports, tables and actions.

A pipeline is constructed by connecting its input ports to its output ports through a chain of lookup tables. As result of lookup operation into the current table, one of the table entries (or the default table entry, in case of lookup miss) is identified to provide the actions to be executed on the current packet and the associated action meta-data.

The behavior of user actions is defined through the configurable table action handler, while the reserved actions define the next hop for the current packet (either another table, an output port or packet drop) and are handled transparently by the framework.

Please check the Intel DPDK Programmer's Guide for more details.

+/**
+ * @file
+ * RTE Pipeline
+ *
+ * This tool is part of the Intel DPDK Packet Framework tool suite and provides
+ * a standard methodology (logically similar to OpenFlow) for rapid development
+ * of complex packet processing pipelines out of ports, tables and actions.
+ *
+ * <B>Basic operation.</B> A pipeline is constructed by connecting its input
+ * ports to its output ports through a chain of lookup tables. As result of
+ * lookup operation into the current table, one of the table entries (or the
+ * default table entry, in case of lookup miss) is identified to provide the
+ * actions to be executed on the current packet and the associated action
+ * meta-data. The behavior of user actions is defined through the configurable
+ * table action handler, while the reserved actions define the next hop for the
+ * current packet (either another table, an output port or packet drop) and are
+ * handled transparently by the framework.
+ *
+ * <B>Initialization and run-time flows.</B> Once all the pipeline elements
+ * (input ports, tables, output ports) have been created, input ports connected
+ * to tables, table action handlers configured, tables populated with the
+ * initial set of entries (actions and action meta-data) and input ports
+ * enabled, the pipeline runs automatically, pushing packets from input ports
+ * to tables and output ports. At each table, the identified user actions are
+ * being executed, resulting in action meta-data (stored in the table entry)
+ * and packet meta-data (stored with the packet descriptor) being updated. The
+ * pipeline tables can have further updates and input ports can be disabled or
+ * enabled later on as required.
+ *
+ * <B>Multi-core scaling.</B> Typically, each CPU core will run its own
+ * pipeline instance. Complex application-level pipelines can be implemented by
+ * interconnecting multiple CPU core-level pipelines in tree-like topologies,
+ * as the same port devices (e.g. SW rings) can serve as output ports for the
+ * pipeline running on CPU core A, as well as input ports for the pipeline
+ * running on CPU core B. This approach enables the application development
+ * using the pipeline (CPU cores connected serially), cluster/run-to-completion
+ * (CPU cores connected in parallel) or mixed (pipeline of CPU core clusters)
+ * programming models.
+ *
+ * <B>Thread safety.</B> It is possible to have multiple pipelines running on
+ * the same CPU core, but it is not allowed (for thread safety reasons) to have
+ * multiple CPU cores running the same pipeline instance.
