Hi all, I am understanding the ODP framework for last few days. I am have some queries related to it.
1. There is a traffic manager block in the egress direction . In the diagram (section 5.3 in https://docs.opendataplane.org/snapshots/odp-publish/generic/usr_html/master/latest/linux-generic/output/users-guide.html ), it is shown that it has TM input queues and TM output queues. What does that mean?? How these input queues are different from the ones which are there in the ingress direction ( that are after the classifier) 2. The queues which are created through the API odp_tm_queue_create ( in which we associate shaper/wred profile), whether they are input queues or output queues or both? 3. How it is different from DPDK. I heard that it supports hardware offload features such as classification , buffering , queueing etc wherease dpdk doesn't. But is there any other reason why we should go with ODP and not DDK? 4. What is OFP. I couldn't understand why it has been created. I can see that the main benefir of OFP is portability. But that portability feature is already achieved by ODP.
