Introduction—Intel® Ethernet Controller E810 R

1.0 Introduction
Intel® Ethernet 800 Series (800 Series) is the next generation of Intel® Ethernet
Controllers and Network Adapters. The Intel® Ethernet 800 Series is designed with an
enhanced programmable pipeline, allowing deeper and more diverse protocol header
processing. This on-chip capability is called Dynamic Device Personalization (DDP).
Unlike the optional DDP solution in the Intel® Ethernet 700 Series (700 Series), the
DDP implementation in the 800 Series is integral to the primary functions of the
network packet processing pipeline. Similar to the 700 Series, enhanced DDP profiles
can be loaded per device for specific capabilities. In the 800 Series, a DDP profile is
loaded dynamically on driver load per device.

A general purpose DDP package is automatically installed with all supported 800
Series drivers on Windows, ESX, FreeBSD, and Linux operating systems, including
those provided by the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK). This general purpose DDP
package is known as the OS-Default package. Additional DDP packages will be
available to address packet processing needs for specific market segments. For
example, a telecommunications (Comms) DDP package has been developed to support
GTP and PPPoE protocols in addition to the protocols in the OS-Default package. The
Comms DDP package is available with DPDK 19.11 and will also be supported by the
800 Series ice driver on Linux operating systems.

This document describes how the DDP packages are loaded or selected in various
operating systems, the benefits of DDP features, and supported packet types in the
OS-Default DDP package. Also included are examples of DDP in use, including filters
to direct packets to hardware queues.

 R Intel® Ethernet Controller E810—How DDP Works

2.0 How DDP Works

The 800 Series on-chip packet processing pipeline is shown in the following figure. The
DDP package programs functionality in both the parser and switch blocks in the
pipeline, allowing dynamic support for new and existing protocols. Each of the
subsequent lookup stages can also be configurable, forming a programmable packet
processing pipeline. This pipeline can then handle packet identification, classification,
and distribution in the network interface rather than in the OS, potentially offloading
CPU cycles. Using this capability together with the 800 Series driver, host software can
create filters to route specific packets to desired hardware queues for better CPU
utilization.

Figure 1. Intel® Ethernet 800 Series On-Chip Packet Processing Pipeline

DDP packages primarily contain static configuration information applied during device
initialization. Furthermore, only one package can be active per device at a time. The
device has a default Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) configuration that provides limited
functionality for the system in pre-boot (before OS boot). During the OS boot process,
the device driver loads the runtime DDP package that provides the more advanced
capabilities of the packet processing pipeline.

The following figure shows the benefits of DDP protocol support by an example of
processing a GTP Ethernet packet with and without the DDP package support for GTP
protocols. With the OS-Default package, which does not have GTP protocol support,
the packet parser can only identify up to the first UDP header information. The result
of identifying a packet as MAC_IPVx_UDP_PAY limits filtering for workload
acceleration.

With GTP protocol support in the enhanced DDP Comms package, the GTP packet is
fully identified (i.e., MAC_IPV4_GTPU_IPVx_TCP/UDP_PAY), enabling hardware
filtering, accelerators, and RSS.

DDP Package Definitions and Usage—Intel® Ethernet Controller E810 R

4.0 DDP Package Definitions and Usage

The following figure shows DDP configurations available at different stages of the
system boot process in pre-boot and in OS boot.

In pre-boot or before a DDP package is loaded by an OS driver, an NVM-default

configuration is automatically loaded by firmware. This configuration, referred to as
“safe mode”, supports a minimum set of protocols and allows basic packets handling in
the pre-boot environment, such as PXE boot or UEFI. This NVM-default configuration is
built into the device NVM firmware.

After OS boot, OS-default DDP, market-specific, or custom DDP package can be loaded
by either the 800 Series driver or DPDK Configuration Tools.

Figure 3. Intel® Ethernet 800 Series with Programmable Pipeline via DDP Profiles

4.1 Device Safe Mode (Pre-Boot or Without DDP Package)

In pre-boot or if a DDP package is not loaded by an OS driver, the 800 Series is
configured in safe mode via an NVM-default configuration that is automatically loaded
by firmware. This configuration supports a minimum set of protocols and allows basic
packet handling in the pre-boot environment, such as PXE boot or UEFI.

The device can also be configured in safe mode if the DDP package fails to load due to
a software incompatibility or other issue. If an OS driver loads and cannot load a DDP
package, a message is printed in the system log that the device is now in safe mode.

4.3.3 Linux Driver Load of DDP Package

For Linux-based operating systems, the DDP package is included with the ice Linux
base driver source code.

Out-of-Tree Driver DDP Installation

For the out-of-tree (OOT) driver, the driver installation process automatically installs
ice-x.x.x.x.pkg to the /lib/firmware/updates/intel/ice/ddp directory and creates a
symbolic link to ice.pkg.

Upstream DDP Installation

Upstream ice drivers are supported on kernel.org v5.4 mainline kernel or higher. The
required DDP package (and symbolic link) must be installed separately through
downloading and installing version 20191022 or higher of the linux-firmware package
from the following git repository:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git

DDP Package Driver Load

In either case (out-of-tree or upstream drivers), the ice driver looks for ice.pkg under
the appropriate directory (depending on whether it is upstream or out of tree) and
loads it during driver initialization.

The kernel message log (e.g., dmesg) indicates the status of package loading in the
system. If the driver successfully finds and loads the DDP package, dmesg indicates
that the DDP package is successfully loaded.

Following is an example of a dmesg indicating successful loading of the OS-default

DDP package on a four-port device. The package is loaded by the first Physical
Function (PF), and remaining PFs use the loaded DDP package.

# dmesg | grep -i ddp

ice 0000:82:00.0: The DDP package was successfully loaded: ICE OS Default Package
version 1.3.30.0
ice 0000:82:00.1: DDP package already present on device: ICE OS Default Package
version 1.3.30.0
ice 0000:82:00.2: DDP package already present on device: ICE OS Default Package
version 11.3.30.0
ice 0000:82:00.3: DDP package already present on device: ICE OS Default Package
version 1.3.30.0

4.3.4 FreeBSD Driver Load of DDP Package

For FreeBSD, the package is embedded into a firmware module and loaded by the PF
driver using a native FreeBSD Firmware API for firmware updates. The firmware
module is released with the base driver, and is installed by default with the driver
package with no additional configuration necessary. Dmesg shows the loading status
of the DDP package similar to Linux. The user can also use the sysctl command to
view the loading status and the loaded package version.

# sysctl dev.ice.0.ddp_version
dev.ice.0.ddp_version: ICE OS Default Package version 1.3.30.0

DDP Package Definitions and Usage—Intel® Ethernet Controller E810 R

4.3.5 DPDK Driver Load of DDP Package

If the system boots up with corresponding ice Linux base driver, the driver loads the
DDP package as mentioned in the Linux DDP Driver load section. However, if the ice
driver has not loaded a DDP package on the system at the time of the DPDK start,
DPDK requires its own DDP installation process.

DPDK DDP Package Installation

If the DDP package has not been installed and loaded by the ice driver, DPDK requires
a manual DDP package installation.

The user can download the DDP package from the Intel download center and extract
the zip file to obtain the package (.pkg) file.

Similar to the Linux base driver, the DPDK driver looks for intel/ice/ddp/ice.pkg in the
kernel default firmware search path /lib/firmware/updates or /lib/firmware/.

DPDK DDP Package Load

When the DPDK driver loads, it looks for ice.pkg to load in /lib/firmware/intel/ice/ddp/
or /lib/firmware/updates/intel/ice/ddp/. If the file exists and it has not already been
loaded, the driver downloads it into the device.

The kernel message log (e.g., dmesg) indicates the status of package loading in the
system. If the driver successfully finds and loads the DDP package, dmesg indicates
that the DDP package is successfully loaded.

Following is an example of a dmesg indicating successful loading of the Comms DDP

package on a two-port device. The package is loaded by the first Physical Function
(PF), and remaining PFs use the loaded DDP package.

# dmesg | grep -i ddp

ice 0000:3b:00.0: The DDP package was successfully loaded: ICE Comms Package
version 1.3.40.0
ice 0000:3b:00.1: DDP package already present on device: ICE OS Comms Package
version 1.3.40.0

DPDK's testpmd application also indicates the status and version of the loaded DDP
package.

The example shows the testpmd output of a successful Comms package loading.

4.3.6 Loading a Specific DDP Package on a Specific 800 Series

Network Adapter in Linux
On a host system running with multiple 800 Series devices, there is sometimes a need
to load a specific DDP package on a selected device while loading a different package
on the remaining devices.

The 800 Series Linux base driver and DPDK driver can both load a specific DDP
package to a selected adapter based on the device's serial number. The driver does
this by looking for a specific symbolic link package filename containing the selected
device's serial number.

The following example illustrates how a user can load a specific package (e.g.,
ice-1.3.40.0.pkg) on the device of Bus 6.
1. Find device serial number.
To view bus, device, and function of all 800 Series Network Adapters in the
system:

# lspci | grep -i Ethernet | grep -i Intel

06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller E810-C for
QSFP (rev 01)
06:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller E810-C for
QSFP (rev 01)
82:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller E810-C for
SFP (rev 01)
82:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller E810-C for
SFP (rev 01)
82:00.2 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller E810-C for
SFP (rev 01)
82:00.3 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller E810-C for
SFP (rev 01)

Use the lspci command to obtain the selected device serial number:

# lspci -vv -s 06:00.0 | grep -i Serial

Capabilities: [150 v1] Device Serial Number 35-11-a0-ff-ff-ca-05-68

Or, fully parsed without punctuation:

# lspci -vv -s 06:00.0 |grep Serial |awk '{print $7}'|sed s/-//g

3511a0ffffca0568

2. Rename the package file with the device serial number in the name.
Copy the specific package over to /lib/firmware/updates/intel/ice/ddp (or /lib/
firmware/intel/ice/ddp) and create a symbolic link with the serial number linking
to the package, as shown. The specific symbolic link filename starts with “ice-”
followed by the device serial in lower case without dash ('-').

# ln -s /lib/firmware/updates/intel/ice/ddp/ice-1.3.40.0.pkg /lib/firmware/
updates/intel/ice/ddp/ice-3511a0ffffca0568.pkg

Or:

ln -sf /lib/firmware/updates/intel/ice/ddp/ice_comms-1.3.40.0.pkg ice-

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 58 Sep 10 01:24 ice.pkg -> /lib/firmware/updates/
intel/ice/ddp/ice_comms-1.3.40.0.pkg

3. If using Linux kernel driver (ice), reload the base driver (not required if using only
DPDK driver).

# rmmod ice
# modprobe ice

The driver loads the specific package to the selected device and the OS-Default
package to the remaining 800 Series devices in the system.
4. Verify.
For kernel driver:
Following is an example of successful loading of the specific DDP package on the
selected device of Bus 6 and OS-Default package on the other device of Bus 82:

# dmesg | grep -i "ddp \| safe"

ice 0000:06:00.0: The DDP package was successfully loaded: ICE COMMS Package
version 1.3.40.0

Package version 1.3.30.0
ice 0000:82:00.3: DDP package already present on device: ICE OS Default
Package version 1.3.30.0

If DPDK is used:
Verify using DPDK's testpmd application to indicate the status and version of the
loaded DDP package.

4.4 OS-Default Package Protocol Support

4.5 Intel® Ethernet Flow Director and RSS Support Using

ethtool and DPDK

4.5.1 Intel® Ethernet Flow Director

The Intel® Ethernet Flow Director performs the following tasks:
• Directs receive packets according to their flows to different queues.
• Enables tight control on routing a flow in the platform.
• Matches flows and CPU cores for flow affinity.

NOTE
An included script (set_irq_affinity) automates setting the IRQ to CPU affinity.

This driver supports the following flow types:

• IPv4
• TCPv4
• UDPv4
• SCTPv4
• IPv6
• TCPv6
• UDPv6
• SCTPv6

15 dst-port tcp4, udp4, sctp4, tcp6, udp6, sctp6

Each flow type supports valid combinations of IP Addresses (source or destination)

and UDP/TCP/SCTP ports (source and destination). You can supply only a source IP
Address, a source IP Address and a destination port, or any combination of one or
more of these four parameters.

NOTES
• This driver allows you to filter traffic based on a user-defined flexible 2-byte
pattern and offset by using the ethtool user-def and mask fields. Only L3 and L4
flow types are supported for user-defined flexible filters. For a given flow type, you
must clear all Intel® Ethernet Flow Director filters before changing the input set
(for that flow type).
• Intel® Ethernet Flow Director filters impact only LAN traffic. RDMA filtering occurs
before Intel® Ethernet Flow Director, so Intel® Ethernet Flow Director filters do not
impact RDMA.

4.5.2 Intel® Ethernet Flow Director Filters

Intel® Ethernet Flow Director filters are used to direct traffic that matches specified
characteristics. They are enabled through the ethtool ntuple interface.
• To enable or disable the Intel® Ethernet Flow Director and these filters:

# ethtool -K <ethX> ntuple <off|on>

Where:
<ethX> = The Ethernet device to program.

NOTE
When ntuple filters are disabled, all the user-programmed filters are flushed from
the driver cache and hardware. All needed filters must be re-added when ntuple is
re-enabled.

• To display all of the active filters:

# ethtool -u <ethX>

Where:
<ethX> = The Ethernet device to program.

• To add a new filter:

# ethtool -U <ethX> flow-type <type> src-ip <ip> [m <ip_mask>] dst-ip <ip> [m

<ip_mask>] src-port <port> [m <port_mask>] dst-port <port> [m <port_mask>]
action <queue>

Where:
<ethX> = The Ethernet device to program.

<type> = Can be ip4, tcp4, udp4, sctp4, ip6, tcp6, udp6, or sctp6.

<ip> = The IP address to match on.

<ip_mask> = The IPv4 address to mask on. (Note: These filters use inverted masks.)

<port> = The port number to match on.

<port_mask> = The 16-bit integer for masking. (Note: These filters use inverted masks.)

<queue> = The queue to direct traffic toward. (-1 discards the matched traffic.)

• To delete a filter:

# ethtool -U <ethX> delete <N>

Where:
<ethX> = The Ethernet device to program.

<N> = The Filter ID displayed when printing all the active filters, and might also have been
specified using “loc <N>” when adding the filter.

EXAMPLES
• To add a filter that directs packet to queue 2:

# ethtool -U <ethX> flow-type tcp4 src-ip 192.168.10.1 dst-ip 192.168.10.2

src-port 2000 dst-port 2001 action 2 [loc 1]

• To set a filter using only the source and destination IP address:

# ethtool -U <ethX> flow-type tcp4 src-ip 192.168.10.1 dst-ip 192.168.10.2

action 2 [loc 1]

• To set a filter based on a user-defined pattern and offset:

# ethtool -U <ethX> flow-type tcp4 src-ip 192.168.10.1 dst-ip 192.168.10.2

user-def 0x4FFFF action 2 [loc 1]

Where the value of the user-def field contains the offset (4 bytes) and the pattern
(0xffff).

• To match TCP traffic sent from 192.168.0.1, port 5300, directed to 192.168.0.5,
port 80, and then send it to queue 7:

# ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type tcp4 src-ip 192.168.0.1 dst-ip 192.168.0.5

src-port 5300 dst-port 80 action 7

• To add a TCPv4 filter with a partial mask for a source IP subnet:

# ethtool -U <ethX> flow-type tcp4 src-ip 192.168.0.0 m 0.255.255.255 dst-ip

192.168.5.12 src-port 12600 dst-port 31 action 12

NOTE
For each flow-type, the programmed filters must all have the same matching input
set. For example, issuing the following two commands is acceptable:

# ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 src-ip 192.168.0.1 src-port 5300 action 7

# ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 src-ip 192.168.0.5 src-port 55 action 10

Issuing the next two commands, however, is not acceptable, since the first
specifies src-ip and the second specifies dst-ip:

# ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 src-ip 192.168.0.1 src-port 5300 action 7

# ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 dst-ip 192.168.0.5 src-port 55 action 10

The second command will fail with an error. You may program multiple filters with
the same fields, using different values. However, on one device, you may not
program two tcp4 filters with different matching fields.
The ice driver does not support matching on a sub-portion of a field, thus partial
mask fields are not supported.

4.5.3 RSS
Packets are sent to different cores for interrupt processing, and then subsequently
forwarded to cores where the consuming process is running.

RSS aims to spread incoming packets across cores while directing packets from
common flows to the same core.

Ethtool RSS Hash Flow:

ethtool -N <ethX> rx-flow-hash <type> <option>

Where:
<ethX> = The Ethernet device to program.

<type> = tcp4 — Signifies TCP over IPv4.

udp4 — Signifies UDP over IPv4.
tcp6 — Signifies TCP over IPv6.
udp6 — Signifies UDP over IPv6.

<option> = s — Hash on the IP source address of the Rx packet.

d — Hash on the IP destination address of the Rx packet.
f — Hash on bytes 0 and 1 of the Layer 4 header of the Rx packet.

• To enable RSS Hashing on Source address, Destination address, Source ports and
Destination ports:

ethtool -n <ethX> rx-flow-hash udp4

• Verify that the rule was created and is correct. For unsupported flow-type, the rule
should fail to create.

ethtool -n <ethX>
