Hey Kevin, What if I have 10 ports and want all 9 ports to forward packets to port 0, this cannot done in paired. But with this topo the user can overwrite the topo. E.g: - Set custom-topo 1 0 Will make those paired and those two as active only.
- set custom-topo 2 0 Will make those two as paired, but still port one will forward packets to 0. And the active ports will be 3 ports (0,1,2) And so on... With this topo you can create your own topo. (Mixed between all topos or even non-pattern topo for any usage) In my case its needed for representors and virtio. Any traffic coming from representors/vhost (from VM) need to be forwarded from PF/phy port to the wire. This new topo is useful for such cases. BRs, Wisam jaddo
