L3 Forwarding with Access Control Sample Application
====================================================
Compiling the Application
-------------------------
-To compile the application:
+To compile the sample application see :doc:`compiling`.
-#. Go to the sample application directory:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
- cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/l3fwd-acl
-
-#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
-
- See the *DPDK IPL Getting Started Guide* for possible RTE_TARGET values.
-
-#. Build the application:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- make
+The application is located in the ``l3fwd-acl`` sub-directory.
Running the Application
-----------------------
* --no-numa: optional, disables numa awareness
-As an example, consider a dual processor socket platform where cores 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 appear on socket 0,
-while cores 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 appear on socket 1.
-Let's say that the user wants to use memory from both NUMA nodes,
-the platform has only two ports and the user wants to use two cores from each processor socket to do the packet processing.
+For example, consider a dual processor socket platform with 8 physical cores, where cores 0-7 and 16-23 appear on socket 0,
+while cores 8-15 and 24-31 appear on socket 1.
-To enable L3 forwarding between two ports, using two cores from each processor,
-while also taking advantage of local memory access by optimizing around NUMA,
-the user must enable two queues from each port,
-pin to the appropriate cores and allocate memory from the appropriate NUMA node.
-This is achieved using the following command:
+To enable L3 forwarding between two ports, assuming that both ports are in the same socket, using two cores, cores 1 and 2,
+(which are in the same socket too), use the following command:
.. code-block:: console
- ./build/l3fwd-acl -c f -n 4 -- -p 0x3 --config="(0,0,0),(0,1,2),(1,0,1),(1,1,3)" --rule_ipv4="./rule_ipv4.db" -- rule_ipv6="./rule_ipv6.db" --scalar
+ ./build/l3fwd-acl -l 1,2 -n 4 -- -p 0x3 --config="(0,0,1),(1,0,2)" --rule_ipv4="./rule_ipv4.db" -- rule_ipv6="./rule_ipv6.db" --scalar
In this command:
-* The -c option enables cores 0, 1, 2, 3
+* The -l option enables cores 1, 2
* The -p option enables ports 0 and 1
-* The --config option enables two queues on each port and maps each (port,queue) pair to a specific core.
- Logic to enable multiple RX queues using RSS and to allocate memory from the correct NUMA nodes is included in the application
- and is done transparently.
+* The --config option enables one queue on each port and maps each (port,queue) pair to a specific core.
The following table shows the mapping in this example:
- +----------+------------+-----------+------------------------------------------------+
- | **Port** | **Queue** | **lcore** | **Description** |
- | | | | |
- +==========+============+===========+================================================+
- | 0 | 0 | 0 | Map queue 0 from port 0 to lcore 0. |
- | | | | |
- +----------+------------+-----------+------------------------------------------------+
- | 0 | 1 | 2 | Map queue 1 from port 0 to lcore 2. |
- | | | | |
- +----------+------------+-----------+------------------------------------------------+
- | 1 | 0 | 1 | Map queue 0 from port 1 to lcore 1. |
- | | | | |
- +----------+------------+-----------+------------------------------------------------+
- | 1 | 1 | 3 | Map queue 1 from port 1 to lcore 3. |
- | | | | |
- +----------+------------+-----------+------------------------------------------------+
+ +----------+------------+-----------+-------------------------------------+
+ | **Port** | **Queue** | **lcore** | **Description** |
+ | | | | |
+ +==========+============+===========+=====================================+
+ | 0 | 0 | 1 | Map queue 0 from port 0 to lcore 1. |
+ | | | | |
+ +----------+------------+-----------+-------------------------------------+
+ | 1 | 0 | 2 | Map queue 0 from port 1 to lcore 2. |
+ | | | | |
+ +----------+------------+-----------+-------------------------------------+
* The --rule_ipv4 option specifies the reading of IPv4 rules sets from the ./ rule_ipv4.db file.
