This is especially useful to get packets into the DPDK app, when the remote netdevice has no DPDK support. The "remote" feature requires flow API support as flow rules will be configured on the remote netdevice for redirection, using the same mechanism. This series applies on top of: [PATCH 0/4] net/tap: support flow API v2 changes: - rebase on top of updated "net/tap: support flow API" - fix implicit flow flush when closing the netdevices Pascal Mazon (4): net/tap: add remote netdevice traffic capture net/tap: reflect tap flags on the remote net/tap: use the remote MAC address if available net/tap: set MTU on the remote doc/guides/nics/tap.rst | 17 ++ drivers/net/tap/rte_eth_tap.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++--- drivers/net/tap/tap.h | 4 + drivers/net/tap/tap_flow.c | 418 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- drivers/net/tap/tap_flow.h | 24 +++ 5 files changed, 635 insertions(+), 41 deletions(-) -- 2.8.0.rc0
