Flow Director allows for redirection based on ntuple rules. Rules are programmed using the ethtool set-ntuple interface. Supported actions are redirect to queue and drop. Setup the initial framework to process Flow Director filters. Create and allocate resources to manage and program filters to the hardware. Filters are processed via a sideband interface; a control VSI is created to manage communication and process requests through the sideband. Upon allocation of resources, update the hardware tables to accept perfect filters.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
