  38 .SH DESCRIPTION
  39 .LP
  40 The \fBflowadm\fR command is used to create, modify, remove, and show
  41 networking bandwidth and associated resources for a type of traffic on a
  42 particular link.
  43 .sp
  44 .LP
  45 The \fBflowadm\fR command allows users to manage networking bandwidth resources
  46 for a transport, service, or a subnet. The service is specified as a
  47 combination of transport and local port. The subnet is specified by its IP
  48 address and subnet mask. The command can be used on any type of data link,
  49 including physical links, virtual NICs, and link aggregations.
  50 .sp
  51 .LP
  52 A flow is defined as a set of attributes based on Layer 3 and Layer 4 headers,
  53 which can be used to identify a protocol, service, or a virtual machine. When a
  54 flow is identified based on flow attributes, separate kernel resources
  55 including layer 2, 3, and 4 queues, their processing threads, and other
  56 resources are uniquely created for it, such that other traffic has minimal or
  57 zero impact on it.
  58 .sp
  59 .LP
  60 Inbound and outbound packet are matched to flows in a very fast and scalable
  61 way, so that limits can be enforced with minimal performance impact.
  62 .sp
  63 .LP
  64 The \fBflowadm\fR command can be used to identify a flow without imposing any
  65 bandwidth resource control. This would result in the traffic type getting its
  66 own resources and queues so that it is isolated from rest of the networking
  67 traffic for more observable and deterministic behavior.
  68 .sp
  69 .LP
  70 \fBflowadm\fR is implemented as a set of subcommands with corresponding
  71 options. Options are described in the context of each subcommand.

  27 .SH DESCRIPTION

  28 The \fBflowadm\fR command is used to create, modify, remove, and show
  29 networking bandwidth and associated resources for a type of traffic on a
  30 particular link.
  31 .sp
  32 .LP
  33 The \fBflowadm\fR command allows users to manage networking bandwidth resources
  34 for a transport, service, or a subnet. The service is specified as a
  35 combination of transport and local port. The subnet is specified by its IP
  36 address and subnet mask. The command can be used on any type of data link,
  37 including physical links, virtual NICs, and link aggregations.
  38 .sp
  39 .LP
  40 A flow is defined as a set of attributes based on Layer 3 and Layer 4 headers,
  41 which can be used to identify a protocol, service, or a virtual machine. When a
  42 flow is identified based on flow attributes, separate kernel resources
  43 including layer 2, 3, and 4 queues, their processing threads, and other
  44 resources are uniquely created for it, such that other traffic has minimal or
  45 zero impact on it.
  46 .sp
  47 .LP
  48 Inbound and outbound packet are matched to flows in a very fast and scalable
  49 way, so that limits can be enforced with minimal performance impact.
  50 .sp
  51 .LP
  52 The \fBflowadm\fR command can be used to define a flow without imposing any
  53 bandwidth resource control. This would result in the traffic type getting its
  54 own resources and queues so that it is isolated from rest of the networking
  55 traffic for more observable and deterministic behavior.
  56 .sp
  57 .LP
  58 \fBflowadm\fR is implemented as a set of subcommands with corresponding
  59 options. Options are described in the context of each subcommand.
  60 .SH SUBCOMMANDS

  68 .ad
  69 .sp .6
  70 .RS 4n
  71 Adds a flow to the system. The flow is identified by its flow attributes and
  72 properties.
  73 .sp
  74 As part of identifying a particular flow, its bandwidth resource can be limited
  75 and its relative priority to other traffic can be specified. If no bandwidth
  76 limit or priority is specified, the traffic still gets its unique layer 2, 3,
  77 and 4 queues and processing threads, including NIC hardware resources (when
  78 supported), so that the selected traffic can be separated from others and can
  79 flow with minimal impact from other traffic.

 575 The optional \fIdsfield_mask\fR is used to state the bits of interest in the

 577 \fB0\fR in a bit position indicates that the bit value needs to be ignored and
 578 a \fB1\fR indicates otherwise. The mask can range from \fB0x01\fR to
 579 \fB0xff\fR. If \fIdsfield_mask\fR is not specified, the default mask \fB0xff\fR
 580 is used. Both the \fBdsfield\fR value and mask must be in hexadecimal.
