Userspace tools can use QCA_WLAN_VENDOR_ATTR_CONFIG_IF_OFFLOAD_TYPE to configure the different below acceleration features (hardware, software) on a per interface basis. 0 - No acceleration Packets are processed through the Linux kernel networking stack. 1 - Software based acceleration: Packets are processed through the shortcut forwarding engine (SFE) to bypass the Linux networking stack for improved throughput performance. This option is applicable for AP, STA, and Mesh mode and available for all radio designs. From the performance aspect, this option consumes more CPU compared to the other two options. Linux traffic control can be further applied with this option to have more control on the traffic flows. 2 - Hybrid acceleration (software and hardware acceleration combined): Packets are processed through both hardware and software in this case. Packet classification is done by the hardware and then the packets are delivered to software along with classification results as meta data. Software can choose to do more classification/QoS based on use cases. This is applicable for AP, STA, and Mesh modes and is available for all radio designs. From the performance aspect, this option consumes relatively less CPU compared to the SFE option above. Linux traffic control rules cannot be applied with this option. 3 - Hardware based acceleration : Packets are processed through special hardware (Direct Switch) rings which can directly forward the packets between ethernet hardware and Wi-Fi hardware with very less software involvement. This is applicable only for AP and STA modes; not applicable for Mesh mode. From the performance aspect, this option consumes very much less CPU compared to the other options. Linux traffic control rules cannot be applied when this option is used. This option is applicable only for specific radio designs. When this option is not available, the default option (SFE) would be configured. Signed-off-by: Balamurugan Mahalingam <quic_bmahalin@quicinc.com> |

wpa_supplicant and hostapd -------------------------- Copyright (c) 2002-2022, Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> and contributors All Rights Reserved. These programs are licensed under the BSD license (the one with advertisement clause removed). If you are submitting changes to the project, please see CONTRIBUTIONS file for more instructions. This package may include either wpa_supplicant, hostapd, or both. See README file respective subdirectories (wpa_supplicant/README or hostapd/README) for more details. Source code files were moved around in v0.6.x releases and compared to earlier releases, the programs are now built by first going to a subdirectory (wpa_supplicant or hostapd) and creating build configuration (.config) and running 'make' there (for Linux/BSD/cygwin builds).
