Evaluation of rte_flow Network Interface Cards Support
The support of the classifier interface rte_flow significantly differs across various network cards. This bachelor's thesis deals with the process of evaluation of this support. The main goal is to provide tools that can perform evaluation systematically and automatically. Two approaches are used for this purpose. The first one is based on the progressive loading of rte_flow rules into the network card and the collection of supported capabilities from the successful attempts. The results are used for the final summary generation. The second approach verifies that particular rules indeed have expected effects on the packets processed by card. Each of these approaches was then transformed into an executable tool. Both were applied and validated on several network cards by the Intel and NVIDIA manufacturers. Simultaneously, their produced outputs were utilized for the mutual comparison of rte_flow interface support between these network cards.
