Hi all, I'm a newbie on netmap development using FreeBSD 10 release
x64("device netmap" added and recompiled)
I'm study on develop openflow-based datapath(software switch
function/module) by netmap-bridge
my understanding:
./bridge -i em0 -i em0 --- would be using SW ring for em0, and if
there's a packet send to em0, it should forward to host stack;
./bridge -i em0 -i em1 --- normal bridge using netmap framework (NIC
ring)
(above in /usr/src/tools/tools/netmap)
but in openflow, there's an required action "Forward: local", when a packet
matched(I implemented matching flow by modified bridge.c->process_rings()
), the packeted should send to host stack, as SW ring does
it is a possible scene:
a ICMP packet arrived in em0, forward to em1;
a TCP packet arrived in em0, forward to host stack;
I want to know whether is a method to implement it?
or could give me any advice...
or in fact I'm wrong in understanding?
Thanks in advance
