108beef08fSSteen Hegelund	help
118beef08fSSteen Hegelund	  Provides the basic VCAP functionality for multiple Microchip switchcores
128beef08fSSteen Hegelund
138beef08fSSteen Hegelund	  A VCAP is essentially a TCAM with rules consisting of
148beef08fSSteen Hegelund
158beef08fSSteen Hegelund	    - Programmable key fields
168beef08fSSteen Hegelund	    - Programmable action fields
178beef08fSSteen Hegelund	    - A counter (which may be only one bit wide)
188beef08fSSteen Hegelund
198beef08fSSteen Hegelund	  Besides this each VCAP has:
208beef08fSSteen Hegelund
218beef08fSSteen Hegelund	    - A number of lookups
228beef08fSSteen Hegelund	    - A keyset configuration per port per lookup
238beef08fSSteen Hegelund
248beef08fSSteen Hegelund	  The VCAP implementation provides switchcore independent handling of rules
258beef08fSSteen Hegelund	  and supports:
268beef08fSSteen Hegelund
278beef08fSSteen Hegelund	    - Creating and deleting rules
288beef08fSSteen Hegelund	    - Updating and getting rules
298beef08fSSteen Hegelund
308beef08fSSteen Hegelund	  The platform specific configuration as well as the platform specific model
318beef08fSSteen Hegelund	  of the VCAP instances are attached to the VCAP API and a client can then
328beef08fSSteen Hegelund	  access rules via the API in a platform independent way, with the
338beef08fSSteen Hegelund	  limitations that each VCAP has in terms of its supported keys and actions.
348beef08fSSteen Hegelund
358beef08fSSteen Hegelund	  Different switchcores will have different VCAP instances with different
368beef08fSSteen Hegelund	  characteristics. Look in the datasheet for the VCAP specifications for the
378beef08fSSteen Hegelund	  specific switchcore.
