## Field Documentation

### uint32\_t relaxed\_matching

Relaxed matching policy.

- •

  If 1, matching is performed only on items with the mask member set and matching on protocol layers specified without any masks is skipped.

- •

  If 0, matching on protocol layers specified without any masks is done as well. This is the standard behaviour of Flow API now.

### uint32\_t ingress

Flow direction for the pattern template. At least one direction must be specified. Pattern valid for rules applied to ingress traffic.

Definition at line **5705** of file **rte\_flow.h**.

### uint32\_t egress
