cgdcbxd - control group dcb event net_prio daemon SYNOPSIS
cgdcbxd [options] DESCRIPTION
cgdcbxd is a daemon used to monitor DCB netlink events and manage the net_prio control group subsystem. The daemon keeps the hierarchy and priority mappings in sync with DCBX Application events. When a DCB netlink event is received cgdcbxd parses the application TLV and identifies new, updated, and deleted application tuples. The DCBX application TLV uses the selector, protocol ID and priority fields to identify and set application priority. The selector field speci- fies the protocol ID type supported types are Ethertype = 1 TCP or SCTP = 2 UDP or DCCP = 3 TCP, SCTP UDP, and DCCP = 4 The protocol ID field specifies the port or ethertype depending on the selector field and the priority gives a priority value (0-7). Used to set the net_prio.ifpriomap. When a new application tuple is identified cgdcbxd creates a control group under the net_prio subsystem using the directory cgdcbx-<selec- tor>-<protocolID>. The <selector> field uses the IEEE selector values listed above for both CEE DCBX and IEEE DCBX versions. This control group will be managed by cgdcbx and the ifpriomap will be kept in sync with the application TLV. If a DCB netlink event removes the application selector-protocolID tuple then cgdcbx removes the control group. This may be used with cgrulesengd to create configuration rules that map applications and users to DCBX selector-protocolID tuples. Note protocol ID and selector values use the well-known protocol type and port or ethertype defined by the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) the application are not required to use the well-known ports this is only used to identify the application.
