In the translation stage, the eCPRI item should be translated into
the format that lower layer driver could use. All the fields that
need to match must be in network byte order after translation, as
well as the mask. Since the header in the item belongs to the network
layers stack, and the input parameter of the header is considered to
be in big-endian format already.
Base on the definition in the PRM, the DW samples will be used for
matching in the FTE/STE. Now, the type field and only the PC ID, RTC
ID, and DLY MSR ID of the payload will be supported. The masks should
be 00 ff 00 00 ff ff(00) 00 00 in the network order. Two DWs are
needed to support such matching. The mask fields could be zeros to
support some wildcard rules. But it makes no sense to support the
rule matching only on the payload but without matching type field.
The DW samples should be stored after the flex parser creation for
eCPRI. There is no need to query the sample IDs each time when
creating a flow rule with eCPRI item. It will not introduce
insertion rate degradation significantly.
