+While PROX is running, F1 to F6 change the view on the system. Pressing F1 switches to the main screen showing per core statistics. When PROX is started,
+this is the screen shown by default. Pressing F2 switches to show port-based information. Pressing F3 shows information (i.e. occupancy, memory usage, ...)
+about memory pools. If there are tasks with mode=lat, F4 displays latency measurements made during the last second by each of those tasks.
+F5 displays DPDK ring information. F6 is for L4 generation. If no command has been entered, numbers 1 to 6 can also be used to change the view on the system.
+This is provided to allow changing screens in environments that do not pass function keys to PROX.
+
+Page Up and Page Down can be used to view per core statistics that would otherwise not fit on the screen. Escape quits PROX.
+The history of previously entered commands can be navigated using the Up and Down arrows. Statistics can be reset with F12.
+
+COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
+--------------------
+Run PROX with the "--help" argument to display the usage text and the list of supported options as shown below.
+PROX supports many compilation flags to enable or disable features. For these flags, refer to the Makefile.
+Refer to the README file for more information on how to run PROX for specific use cases.
+
+::
+
+ Usage: ./build/prox [-f CONFIG_FILE] [-l LOG_FILE] [-p] [-o DISPLAY] [-v] [-a|-e] [-m|-s|-i] [-n] [-w DEF] [-q] [-k] [-d] [-z] [-r VAL] [-u] [-t]
+ -f CONFIG_FILE : configuration file to load, ./prox.cfg by default
+ -l LOG_FILE : log file name, ./prox.log by default
+ -p : include PID in log file name if default log file is used
+ -o DISPLAY: Set display to use, can be 'curses' (default), 'cli' or 'none'
+ -v verbosity : initial logging verbosity
+ -a : autostart all cores (by default)
+ -e : don't autostart
+ -n : Create NULL devices instead of using PCI devices, useful together with -i
+ -m : list supported task modes and exit
+ -s : check configuration file syntax and exit
+ -i : check initialization sequence and exit
+ -u : Listen on UDS /tmp/prox.sock
+ -t : Listen on TCP port 8474
+ -q : Pass argument to Lua interpreter, useful to define variables
+ -w : define variable using syntax varname=value
+ takes precedence over variables defined in CONFIG_FILE
+ -k : Log statistics to file "stats_dump" in current directory
+ -d : Run as daemon, the parent process will block until PROX is not initialized
+ -z : Ignore CPU topology, implies -i
+ -r : Change initial screen refresh rate. If set to a lower than 0.001 seconds,
+ screen refreshing will be disabled
+
+CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT
+-------------------------
+The configuration file is divided into multiple sections, each of which is used to define some parameters and options.
+Sections are created using the [section name] syntax. The list of sections, where # represents an integer, is as follows:
+
+::
+
+ [eal options]
+ [port #]
+ [variables]
+ [defaults]
+ [global]
+ [core #]
+
+In each section, entries are created using the key=value syntax.
+Comments are created using the ; symbol: all characters from the ;
+symbol to the end of line are ignored. A # symbol at the beginning of the section name comments
+the whole section out: all entries in the section are treated as comments and are ignored. For example:
+
+::
+
+ [#core 1]
+ ; this is a comment
+ parameter name=parameter value ; this entry is ignored because the section is commented out
+
+* [EAL OPTIONS]: The following parameters are supported:
+
+::
+
+ -m ; Specifies the amount of memory used. If not provided, all hugepages will be used.
+ -n ; Specifies the number of memory channels. Use -n4 for latest Intel Xeon based platforms
+ -r ; Specifies the number of memory ranks.
+ eal ; Specifies DPDK EAL extra options. Those options will be passed blindly to DPDK.
+
+* [PORT #]: DPDK ports are usually referenced by their port_id, i.e. an integer starting from 0.
+ Using port_id in the configuration file is tedious, since the same port_id can appear at
+ different places (rx port, tx port, routing tables), and those ports might change (e.g. if cables are swapped).
+ In order to make the configuration file easier to read and modify, DPDK ports are given a name with the name= option.
+ The name serves as the reference, and in addition, it will show up in the display at runtime.
+
+::
+
+ PARAMETER EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
+ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ name inet0 Use inet0 to later refer to this port
+ mac hardware value can be: hardware, random or a literal MAC address
+ rx desc 256 number of descriptors to allocate for reception
+ tx desc 256 number of descriptors to allocate for transmission
+ promiscuous yes enable promiscuous mode
+ strip crc yes enable CRC stripping
+ rss yes enable RSS
+ lsc no While lsc is disabled for drivers known to not provide support,
+ this option explicitely overrides these settings.
+ rx_ring dpdk_ring_name use DPDK ring as an interface (receive side)
+ tx_ring dpdk_ring_name use DPDK ring as an interface (transmit side)
+
+* [VARIABLES]: Variables can be defined in the configuration file using the $varname=value syntax.
+ Variables defined on the command line (-w varname=value) take precedence and do not create
+ conflicts with variables defined in the configuration file. Variables are used in the
+ configuration file using the $varname syntax: each instance of $varname is replaced by its
+ associated value. This is typically useful if the same parameter must be used at several places.
+ For instance, you might want to have multiple load balancers, all transmitting to the same set
+ of worker cores. The list of worker cores could then be defined once in a variable:
+
+::
+
+ [variables]
+ $wk=1s0-5s0
+
+Then, a load balancer definition would use the variable:
+
+::
+
+ [core 6s0]
+ name=LB
+ task=0
+ mode=lbnetwork
+ tx cores=$wk task=0
+ ...
+
+And the section defining the worker cores would be:
+
+::
+
+ [core $wk]
+ name=worker
+ task=0
+ mode=qinqencapv4
+ ...
+
+* [DEFAULTS]: The default value of some options can be overridden using the [defaults] section:
+
+::
+
+ PARAMETER EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
+ -----------------------------------
+ mempool size 16K number of mbufs per task, relevant when task receives from a port.
+ this is the n argument provided to rte_mempool_create()
+ qinq tag 0xa888 Set qinq tag for all tasks. The result of adding this option is the
+ same as adding qinq tag= to each task
+ memcache size 128 number of mbufs cached per core, default is 256 this is the cache_size
+ argument provided to rte_mempool_create()
+
+* [GLOBAL]: The following parameters are supported:
+
+::
+
+ PARAMETER EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
+ -------------------------------------------------
+ name BNG Name of the configuration, which will be shown in the title box at runtime.
+ start time 10 Time in seconds after which average statistics will be started.
+ Default value is 0.
+ duration time 30 Runtime duration in seconds, counted after start time.
+ This is typically useful to automate testing using
+ different parameters: PROX automatically exits when the
+ runtime duration has elapsed. Initialization and start time
+ are not included in this runtime duration.
+ For example, if start time is set to 10 and duration time is set to 30,
+ the total execution time (after initialization) will be 40 seconds.
+ Default value is 0, which means infinity and prevents PROX from automatically exiting.
+ shuffle yes When this parameter is set to yes, the order of mbufs
+ within mempools is randomized to simulate a system that has
+ been warmed up. Default value is no.
+ gre cfg /path/to/file.csv Path to CSV file that provides QinQ-to-GRE mapping.
+ Default value is gre_table.csv in same directory as
+ configuration file. Fields are GRE key and QinQ value (computed as SVLAN * 4096 + CVLAN).
+ pre cmd ls Arbitrary system commands to run while reading cfg. This option can occur multiple times.

+ Default value is next_hop.csv in same directory as configuration file.
+ Fields are Next-Hop index (as returned by LPM lookup),
+ Out-Port index, Next-Hop IP (unused), Next-Hop MAC and MPLS label.
+ ipv4 cfg /path/to/file.csv Path to CSV file that provides IPv4 LPM routing table.
+ Default value is ipv4.csv in same directory as configuration file.
+ Fields are IPv4 subnet (in CIDR notation) and Next-Hop index.
+ dscp cfg /path/to/file.csv Path to CSV file that provides mapping for QoS classification,
+ from DSCP to Traffic Class and Queue.
+ Default value is dscp.csv in same directory as configuration file.
+ Fields are DSCP (0-63), Traffic Class (0-3) and Queue (0-3).
+ ipv6 tunnel cfg /path/to/file.csv Path to CSV file that provides lwAFTR binding table.
+ Default value is ipv6_tun_bind.csv in same directory as configuration file.
+ Fields are lwB4 IPv6 address, next hop MAC address towards lwB4,
+ IPv4 Public address and IPv4 Public Port Set.
+ acl cfg /path/to/file.csv Path to CSV file that provides ACL rules.
+ Default value is rules.csv in same directory as configuration file.
+ Fields are SVLAN value & mask, CVLAN value & mask, IP protocol value & mask,

+
+* [CORE #]: Cores can be configured by means of a set of [core #] sections, where # represents either:
+
+ an absolute core number: e.g. on a 10-core, dual socket system with hyper-threading, cores are numbered from 0 to 39;
+ a core number, the letter 's', and a socket number: this allows selecting per-socket cores, independently from their interleaved numbering;
+ a core number and the letter 'h': this allows selecting the hyper-thread sibling of the specified core;
+ a dash-separated range of core numbers; a comma-separated list of core numbers; any combination of the above;
+ or a variable whose value complies with the above syntax.
+ The socket and hyper-thread syntax makes it easier to use the same configuration file on several platforms,
+ even if their core numbering differs (e.g. interleaving rule or number of cores per socket).
+
+ Each core can be assigned with a set of tasks, each running one of the implemented packet processing modes.

-While PROX is running, F1 to F6 change the view on the system. Pressing F1 switches to the main screen showing per core statistics. When PROX is started,
-this is the screen shown by default. Pressing F2 switches to show port-based information. Pressing F3 shows information (i.e. occupancy, memory usage, ...)
-about memory pools. If there are tasks with mode=lat, F4 displays latency measurements made during the last second by each of those tasks.
-F5 displays DPDK ring information. F6 is for L4 generation. If no command has been entered, numbers 1 to 6 can also be used to change the view on the system.
-This is provided to allow changing screens in environments that do not pass function keys to PROX.
-
-Page Up and Page Down can be used to view per core statistics that would otherwise not fit on the screen. Escape quits PROX.
-The history of previously entered commands can be navigated using the Up and Down arrows. Statistics can be reset with F12.
-
-COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
---------------------
-Run PROX with the "--help" argument to display the usage text and the list of supported options as shown below.
-PROX supports many compilation flags to enable or disable features. For these flags, refer to the Makefile.
-Refer to the README file for more information on how to run PROX for specific use cases.
-
-::
-
- Usage: ./build/prox [-f CONFIG_FILE] [-l LOG_FILE] [-p] [-o DISPLAY] [-v] [-a|-e] [-m|-s|-i] [-n] [-w DEF] [-q] [-k] [-d] [-z] [-r VAL] [-u] [-t]
- -f CONFIG_FILE : configuration file to load, ./prox.cfg by default
- -l LOG_FILE : log file name, ./prox.log by default
- -p : include PID in log file name if default log file is used
- -o DISPLAY: Set display to use, can be 'curses' (default), 'cli' or 'none'
- -v verbosity : initial logging verbosity
- -a : autostart all cores (by default)
- -e : don't autostart
- -n : Create NULL devices instead of using PCI devices, useful together with -i
- -m : list supported task modes and exit
- -s : check configuration file syntax and exit
- -i : check initialization sequence and exit
- -u : Listen on UDS /tmp/prox.sock
- -t : Listen on TCP port 8474
- -q : Pass argument to Lua interpreter, useful to define variables
- -w : define variable using syntax varname=value
- takes precedence over variables defined in CONFIG_FILE
- -k : Log statistics to file "stats_dump" in current directory
- -d : Run as daemon, the parent process will block until PROX is not initialized
- -z : Ignore CPU topology, implies -i
- -r : Change initial screen refresh rate. If set to a lower than 0.001 seconds,
- screen refreshing will be disabled
-
-CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT
--------------------------
-The configuration file is divided into multiple sections, each of which is used to define some parameters and options.
-Sections are created using the [section name] syntax. The list of sections, where # represents an integer, is as follows:
-
-::
- [eal options]
- [port #]
- [variables]
- [defaults]
- [global]
- [core #]
-
-In each section, entries are created using the key=value syntax.
-Comments are created using the ; symbol: all characters from the ;
-symbol to the end of line are ignored. A # symbol at the beginning of the section name comments
-the whole section out: all entries in the section are treated as comments and are ignored. For example:
-
-::
- [#core 1]
- ; this is a comment
- parameter name=parameter value ; this entry is ignored because the section is commented out
-
-[EAL OPTIONS]
-The following parameters are supported:
-
-::
- -m ; Specifies the amount of memory used. If not provided, all hugepages will be used.
- -n ; Specifies the number of memory channels. Use -n4 for latest Intel Xeon based platforms
- -r ; Specifies the number of memory ranks.
- eal ; Specifies DPDK EAL extra options. Those options will be passed blindly to DPDK.
-
-[PORT #]
-DPDK ports are usually referenced by their port_id, i.e. an integer starting from 0.
-Using port_id in the configuration file is tedious, since the same port_id can appear at
-different places (rx port, tx port, routing tables),
-and those ports might change (e.g. if cables are swapped).
-In order to make the configuration file easier to read and modify,
-DPDK ports are given a name with the name= option.
-The name serves as the reference, and in addition, it will show up in the display at runtime.
-
-::
- PARAMETER EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- name inet0 Use inet0 to later refer to this port
- mac hardware value can be: hardware, random or a literal MAC address
- rx desc 256 number of descriptors to allocate for reception
- tx desc 256 number of descriptors to allocate for transmission
- promiscuous yes enable promiscuous mode
- strip crc yes enable CRC stripping
- rss yes enable RSS
- lsc no While lsc is disabled for drivers known to not provide support,
- this option explicitely overrides these settings.
- rx_ring dpdk_ring_name use DPDK ring as an interface (receive side)
- tx_ring dpdk_ring_name use DPDK ring as an interface (transmit side)
-
-[VARIABLES]
-Variables can be defined in the configuration file using the $varname=value syntax.
-Variables defined on the command line (-w varname=value) take precedence and do not
-create conflicts with variables defined in the configuration file. Variables are
-used in the configuration file using the $varname syntax: each instance of $varname
-is replaced by its associated value. This is typically useful if the same parameter
-must be used at several places. For instance, you might want to have multiple load
-balancers, all transmitting to the same set of worker cores.
-The list of worker cores could then be defined once in a variable:
-
-::
- [variables]
- $wk=1s0-5s0
-
-Then, a load balancer definition would use the variable:
-
-::
- [core 6s0]
- name=LB
- task=0
- mode=lbnetwork
- tx cores=$wk task=0
- ...
-
-And the section defining the worker cores would be:
-
-::
- [core $wk]
- name=worker
- task=0
- mode=qinqencapv4
- ...
-
-[DEFAULTS]
-The default value of some options can be overridden using the [defaults] section:
-
-::
- PARAMETER EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
- -----------------------------------
- mempool size 16K number of mbufs per task, relevant when task receives from a port.
- this is the n argument provided to rte_mempool_create()
- qinq tag 0xa888 Set qinq tag for all tasks. The result of adding this option is the
- same as adding qinq tag= to each task
- memcache size 128 number of mbufs cached per core, default is 256 this is the cache_size
- argument provided to rte_mempool_create()
-
-[GLOBAL]
-The following parameters are supported:
-
-::
- PARAMETER EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
- -------------------------------------------------
- name BNG Name of the configuration, which will be shown in the title box at runtime.
- start time 10 Time in seconds after which average statistics will be started.
- Default value is 0.
- duration time 30 Runtime duration in seconds, counted after start time.
- This is typically useful to automate testing using
- different parameters: PROX automatically exits when the
- runtime duration has elapsed. Initialization and start time
- are not included in this runtime duration.
- For example, if start time is set to 10 and duration time is set to 30,
- the total execution time (after initialization) will be 40 seconds.
- Default value is 0, which means infinity and prevents PROX from automatically exiting.
- shuffle yes When this parameter is set to yes, the order of mbufs
- within mempools is randomized to simulate a system that has
- been warmed up. Default value is no.
- gre cfg /path/to/file.csv Path to CSV file that provides QinQ-to-GRE mapping.
- Default value is gre_table.csv in same directory as
- configuration file. Fields are GRE key and QinQ value (computed as SVLAN * 4096 + CVLAN).
- pre cmd ls Arbitrary system commands to run while reading cfg. This option can occur multiple times.
- user cfg /path/to/file.csv Path to CSV file that provides QinQ-to-User mapping.
- Default value is user_table.csv in same directory as configuration file.
- Fields are SVLAN, CVLAN and User-Id.
- next hop cfg /path/to/file.csv Path to CSV file that provides Next-Hop details.
- Default value is next_hop.csv in same directory as configuration file.
- Fields are Next-Hop index (as returned by LPM lookup),
- Out-Port index, Next-Hop IP (unused), Next-Hop MAC and MPLS label.
- ipv4 cfg /path/to/file.csv Path to CSV file that provides IPv4 LPM routing table.
- Default value is ipv4.csv in same directory as configuration file.
- Fields are IPv4 subnet (in CIDR notation) and Next-Hop index.
- dscp cfg /path/to/file.csv Path to CSV file that provides mapping for QoS classification,
- from DSCP to Traffic Class and Queue.
- Default value is dscp.csv in same directory as configuration file.
- Fields are DSCP (0-63), Traffic Class (0-3) and Queue (0-3).
- ipv6 tunnel cfg /path/to/file.csv Path to CSV file that provides lwAFTR binding table.
- Default value is ipv6_tun_bind.csv in same directory as configuration file.
- Fields are lwB4 IPv6 address, next hop MAC address towards lwB4,
- IPv4 Public address and IPv4 Public Port Set.
- acl cfg /path/to/file.csv Path to CSV file that provides ACL rules.
- Default value is rules.csv in same directory as configuration file.
- Fields are SVLAN value & mask, CVLAN value & mask, IP protocol value & mask,
- source IPv4 subnet (in CIDR notation), destination IPv4 subnet (in CIDR notation),
- source port range, destination port range, and action (drop, allow, rate limit).
- unique mempool yes
- per socket
-
-[CORE #]
-Cores can be configured by means of a set of [core #] sections, where # represents either:
-
-an absolute core number: e.g. on a 10-core, dual socket system with hyper-threading, cores are numbered from 0 to 39;
-a core number, the letter 's', and a socket number: this allows selecting per-socket cores, independently from their interleaved numbering;
-a core number and the letter 'h': this allows selecting the hyper-thread sibling of the specified core;
-a dash-separated range of core numbers;
-a comma-separated list of core numbers;
-any combination of the above;
-or a variable whose value complies with the above syntax.
-The socket and hyper-thread syntax makes it easier to use the same configuration file on several platforms,
-even if their core numbering differs (e.g. interleaving rule or number of cores per socket).
-
-Each core can be assigned with a set of tasks, each running one of the implemented packet processing modes.
-
-The following parameters are supported:
-.. image:: images/prox_core.png
- :width: 1024px
- :alt: SampleVNF supported topology
