Dive into an in-depth presentation that explains methods and tools for calculating spec, mask and enabling RSS features and FDIR steering on customized embedded L2 header scenarios using DPDK. The 30-minute talk by Shobhi Jain and Timothy Miskell from Intel Corporation walks through a real-world use case of Arista's customized precision time protocol (PTP) timestamps packet headers. Learn how to calculate spec, mask, create Generic Flow commands, and use them to add or delete flow rules to network adapter hardware for customized embedded L2 headers. While some documentation exists about generic flow, this presentation fills the gap in understanding how mask and spec calculations work together when configuring these flows. Gain valuable knowledge about enabling RSS features and FDIR steering on any customized packet headers through protocol agnostic flow offloading methods, expanding the potential use of protocol agnostic filters in ethernet adapters.
