Default host address is ``0.0.0.0``. 48 49``-p`` 50 51 Set the L4 port number over which telnet session can be opened. 52 It is an optional parameter. Default port is ``8086``. 53 54``-s`` 55 56 Script name with absolute path which specifies the use case. 57 It is a mandatory parameter which will be used 58 to create desired graph for a given use case. 59 60``--enable-graph-stats`` 61 62 Enable graph statistics printing on console. 63 By default, graph statistics are disabled. 64 65``--help`` 66 67 Dumps application usage. 68 69 70Supported Use cases 71------------------- 72 73l3fwd 74~~~~~ 75 76This use case is supported for both H/W and PCAP vdev network devices. 77To demonstrate, corresponding ``.cli`` files are available at ``app/graph/examples/`` 78named as ``l3fwd.cli`` and ``l3fwd_pcap.cli`` respectively. 79 80l2fwd 81~~~~~ 82 83This use case is supported for both H/W and PCAP vdev network devices. 84To demonstrate, corresponding ``.cli`` files are available at ``app/graph/examples/`` 85named as ``l2fwd.cli`` and ``l2fwd_pcap.cli`` respectively. 86 87Example Commands 88^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 89For H/W devices 90 91.. code-block:: console 92 93 ./dpdk-graph -c 0xff -a 0002:02:00.0 -a 0002:03:00.0 -- 94 -s <dpdk_root_dir>/app/graph/examples/l3fwd.cli 95 96 ./dpdk-graph -c 0xff -a 0002:02:00.0 -a 0002:03:00.0 -- 97 -s <dpdk_root_dir>/app/graph/examples/l2fwd.cli 98 99For net_pcapX devices 100 101.. code-block:: console 102 103 ./dpdk-graph -c 0xff --vdev=net_pcap0,rx_pcap=in_net_pcap0.pcap,tx_pcap=out_net_pcap1.pcap 104 --vdev=net_pcap1,rx_pcap=in_net_pcap1.pcap,tx_pcap=out_net_pcap0.pcap 105 -- -s <dpdk_root_dir>/app/graph/examples/l3fwd_pcap.cli 106 107 ./dpdk-graph -c 0xff --vdev=net_pcap0,rx_pcap=in_net_pcap0.pcap,tx_pcap=out_net_pcap1.pcap 108 --vdev=net_pcap1,rx_pcap=in_net_pcap1.pcap,tx_pcap=out_net_pcap0.pcap 109 -- -s <dpdk_root_dir>/app/graph/examples/l2fwd_pcap.cli 110 111Verifying traffic 112^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 113 114``l3fwd.cli`` and ``l3fwd_pcap.cli`` creates setup with two network ports. 115Routing between these ports are done by lookup node routing information. 116For current use case, following routing table is used: 117 118.. code-block:: console 119 120 DIP port 121 10.0.2.2 1 122 20.0.2.2 0 123 124On the successful execution of ``l3fwd.cli`` or ``l3fwd_pcap.cli``, 125user needs to send traffic with mentioned DIP. 126 127For net_pcapX devices, required pcap file should be created and passed to application. 128These pcap files can be created in several ways. 129Scapy is one of the method to get the same: 130 131.. code-block:: console 132 133 #
