Hi, NAKAMURA

I have upload 2 documents about command format when creating flow
for NIC igb and ixgbe in the email attachment.
I have decided to commit the context in the doc to
doc\guides\nics\ixgbe.rst before, BUT by now it seems the content of
the document is too much To store there. So, is there any other doc more

suitable in DPDK to record this.

And welcome for any other suggestion.
AND, Wenzhuo, what is your opinion for this?

I also have the same feeling that it may make the ixgbe.rst too big.
+ John and Adrien. Hi John,  Adrien, I'm think about creating a specific doc

for rte flow, we can include the examples for every NIC here. Is it good? If so,
where's the good place to put it? Thanks.

Depends on the kind of examples. Code samples or testpmd flow command?
Unless you mean a document that describes individual rte_flow features
supported by each NIC?

Code samples could be added to a new "Programming flow rules" (or
something) section in doc/guide/prog_guide/rte_flow.rst.

Another section about NICs could be added in that documentation as well
but should only contain a short summary for each of them and a link to the
relevant PMD documentation in nics/$PMD.rst (or elsewhere in the DPDK
tree), if any.

If you want to describe individual rte_flow features supported by each NIC, I
think there's no other choice but to create a bunch of
doc/guides/nics/features/rte_flow/*.ini files.

Your suggestion of create a bunch under > doc/guides/nics/features/rte_flow/*.ini  to record these for every type of NIC of igb/ixgbe/i40e,
It seems very reasonable, but will DPDK community will agree to such a big change for this a specific feature?
 Maybe your suggestion of "in doc/guide/prog_guide/rte_flow.rst,  add  a short summary for each of them and a link to the
 relevant PMD documentation in nics/$PMD.rst ".
and also record to doc\guides\nics\ixgbe.rst will be the only feasible scheme?
Although it  will be too much to store.

Wenzhuo and Adrien, If none of you has no objection to this, I will implement as Adrien's first suggestion.

Thank you.

Wei Zhao - san
(Cc'ing Wenzhuo - san)

According to the e-mail thread [1] in April, you have a document
about command format when creating flows on ixgbe NIC.

I would appreciate your uploading that document to community or
could you just share it with me via an e-mail ??
