Hi Experts, I have the following doubts. Could someone clarify me?
1) we know that OF-DPA have multiple flow tables. I see, there is an API for adding a flow entry into the table. But, I dont see any API for initializing flow table. All the flow tables would be initialized as part of OF-DPA initialization ? 2) Can someone clarify me what happens during the OF-DPA initialization as well? I dont see, any API for initializing OF-DPA? 3) * https://github.com/Broadcom-Switch/of-dpa/blob/master/src/example/client_vlan.c <https://github.com/Broadcom-Switch/of-dpa/blob/master/src/example/client_vlan.c>* In the above link, i see, flow table is initialized as shown below. If add multiple entries to the same flow table, should I call the below API. I am doubting and confused as well.. rc = *ofdpaFlowEntryInit*(OFDPA_FLOW_TABLE_ID_VLAN, &flow); if (rc != OFDPA_E_NONE) { printf("\r\nFailed to initialize Vlan Flow Table.(rc = %d)\n", rc); return rc; } in the same page, i see, for (i = 0; i < arguments.count; i++) { rc = ofdpaFlowAdd(&flow); if (rc != 0) { printf("\r\nFailed to add VLAN flow entry. rc = %d.\r\n", rc); displayVlan(&flow); break; } flow.flowData.vlanFlowEntry.match_criteria.vlanId++; } *ofdpaFlowAdd *is used to add a flow entry in the flow table. I can assume that the entry would be added in the current flow table. But, how we can add the same flow entry in the remaining flow tables ? 4) As we all know that OF-DPA supports multiple flow tables. If a flow entry is added in the first flow table then will it be added in the remaining flow tables also? will this be taken care by OF-DPA ? Can someone clarify me. Thanks, Kals.
