The librte_pdump library provides a framework for packet capturing in dpdk. The library provides set of APIs to initialize the packet capture framework, to enable or disable the packet capture, and to uninitialize it. The librte_pdump library works on a client/server model. The server is responsible for enabling or disabling the packet capture and the clients are responsible for requesting the enabling or disabling of the packet capture. Enabling APIs are supported with port, queue, ring and mempool parameters. Applications should pass on this information to get the packets from the dpdk ports. For enabling requests from applications, library creates the client request containing the mempool, ring, port and queue information and sends the request to the server. After receiving the request, server registers the Rx and Tx callbacks for all the port and queues. After the callbacks registration, registered callbacks will get the Rx and Tx packets. Packets then will be copied to the new mbufs that are allocated from the user passed mempool. These new mbufs then will be enqueued to the application passed ring. Applications need to dequeue the mbufs from the rings and direct them to the devices like pcap vdev for viewing the packets outside of the dpdk using the packet capture tools. For disabling requests, library creates the client request containing the port and queue information and sends the request to the server. After receiving the request, server removes the Rx and Tx callback for all the port and queues.
