Description
I wanted to float the idea of support for tc flower
filters.
flower
is of special significance because some network cards (e.g. cards using the mlx5 driver or mlxsw switches) can offload significant portions of it.
I am happy to try my hand at implementing flower in this crate (and in downstream crates) but I wanted to make sure that I am on the same page with the maintainers before I implement a moderately large feature.
I have a very early code sketch in #111 which I post early to facilitate any needed discussion.
My plan is to
- implement flower in sympathy with the pattern set down in
cls_u32.rs
- make a commit for each new key / component of filter I create
Let me know if you think I should approach this differently.
