A verbs application may receive and transmits packets using a data path pipeline. Sometimes, the first stage in the receive pipeline or the last stage in the transmit pipeline involves transforming a packet, either in order to make it easier for later stages to process it or to prepare it for transmission over the wire. Such transformation could be stripping/encapsulating the packet (i.e. vxlan), decrypting/encrypting it (i.e. ipsec), altering headers, doing some complex FPGA changes, etc. Some hardware could do such transformations without software data path intervention at all. The flow steering API supports steering a packet (either to a QP or dropping it) and some simple packet immutable actions (i.e. tagging a packet). Complex actions, that may change the packet, could bloat the flow steering API extensively. Sometimes the same action should be applied to several flows. In this case, it's easier to bind several flows to the same action and modify it than change all matching flows. Introducing a new flow_action object that abstracts any packet transformation (out of a standard and well defined set of actions). This flow_action object could be tied to a flow steering rule via a new specification. Currently, we support esp flow_action, which encrypts or decrypts a packet according to the given parameters. However, we present a flexible schema that could be used to other transformation actions tied to flow rules.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
