.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fBflowadm\fR command is used to create, modify, remove, and show
networking bandwidth and associated resources for a type of traffic on a
particular link.
.sp
.LP
The \fBflowadm\fR command allows users to manage networking bandwidth resources
for a transport, service, or a subnet. The service is specified as a
combination of transport and local port. The subnet is specified by its IP
address and subnet mask. The command can be used on any type of data link,
including physical links, virtual NICs, and link aggregations.
.sp
.LP
A flow is defined as a set of attributes based on Layer 3 and Layer 4 headers,
which can be used to identify a protocol, service, or a virtual machine. When a
flow is identified based on flow attributes, separate kernel resources
including layer 2, 3, and 4 queues, their processing threads, and other
resources are uniquely created for it, such that other traffic has minimal or
zero impact on it.
.sp
.LP
Inbound and outbound packet are matched to flows in a very fast and scalable
way, so that limits can be enforced with minimal performance impact.
.sp
.LP
The \fBflowadm\fR command can be used to identify a flow without imposing any
bandwidth resource control. This would result in the traffic type getting its
own resources and queues so that it is isolated from rest of the networking
traffic for more observable and deterministic behavior.
.sp
.LP
\fBflowadm\fR is implemented as a set of subcommands with corresponding
options. Options are described in the context of each subcommand.
.SH SUBCOMMANDS

properties.
.sp
As part of identifying a particular flow, its bandwidth resource can be limited
and its relative priority to other traffic can be specified. If no bandwidth
limit or priority is specified, the traffic still gets its unique layer 2, 3,
and 4 queues and processing threads, including NIC hardware resources (when
supported), so that the selected traffic can be separated from others and can
flow with minimal impact from other traffic.

The following command modifies the \fBhttps-1\fR policy from the preceding
example. The command adds bandwidth control and give the policy a high
priority.

\fBExample 3 \fRLimiting the UDP Bandwidth Usage

The following command creates a policy for UDP protocol so that it cannot
consume more than 100Mbps of available bandwidth. The flow is named
\fBlimit-udp-1\fR.

\fBExample 5 \fRSetting Policy, Making Use of \fBdsfield\fR Attribute
.sp
.LP
The following command sets a policy for EF PHB (DSCP value of 101110 from RFC
2598) with a bandwidth of 500 Mbps and a high priority. The \fBdsfield\fR value
for this flow will be \fB0x2e\fR (101110) with the \fBdsfield_mask\fR being
\fB0xfc\fR (because we want to ignore the 2 least significant bits).
