The legacy Packet Framework APIs were announced for removal in the 24.11 release but the removal never happened:
* pipeline: The pipeline library legacy API (functions rte_pipeline_*) * table: The table library legacy API (functions rte_table_*) * port: The port library legacy API (functions rte_port_*) Do the removal now, in the 26.11 ABI window. The SWX API in the same libraries (rte_swx_*) is unaffected and remains the Packet Framework API. The softnic driver and the pipeline example already use only the SWX API. The applications built on the legacy API (test-pipeline, ip_pipeline) and the unit tests are removed first, then the legacy half of each library, pipeline before table before port to follow the dependency chain. Library dependencies and the programmer's guide are trimmed accordingly. Follow-up candidates, kept out of this series: the stale comments in lib/ethdev/ethdev_trace.h still refer to examples/ip_pipeline, and struct rte_pipeline_acl_rule in the removed rte_table_acl.c was only a local name. Note: there are some figures leftover that will need maintainer to manually remove with 'git rm' since patchwork mangled that. v5 - resend of v4 without patch that broke patchwork Stephen Hemminger
