Hi Devs,
I am trying to enable RTE-FLOW support on one of our platforms & having hard
time in figuring out PF vs PHY_PORT differences and DPDK rationale for
introducing these two distinct identities.
Rte-Flow distinguishes between RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_PF &
RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_PHY_PORT and
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_PF &
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_PHY_PORT.
I am finding it difficult to justify the presence of both these types, when
functionality & implementation wise, these look quite similar. I would really
appreciate if you could illustrate the differences between above item & action
types by taking some hardware/platform as reference.
Thanks in advance,
Vivek Sharma
