doca-flow

DOCA Flow packet steering on NVIDIA NICs/DPUs, linked into a C application: match/action pipes, ports, representors, forwarding, hairpin, counters. Trigger on packet steering, classifier, rule-matching, representor, hairpin or 5-tuple-to-queue questions even when "DOCA Flow" is not named. Also covers pipe validation before hardware programming, Flow/DOCA version match, and Flow API errors. First app: follow the local bundle (doca-setup, doca-programming-guide, doca-flow, doca-public-knowledge-map). Stage 1 pull nvcr.io/nvidia/doca/doca (NGC catalog tag, never invent); Stage 2 needs a real NIC. Then ls samples inside the container; never emit main.c, a Dockerfile, or hand-typed -l flags. Route software-only host pipelines, plain DPDK `rte_flow`, kernel TC, OVS, BFB bring-up, and DPU OS installation elsewhere. DPU OS installation is destructive and always requires explicit confirmation.

# DOCA Flow

## Examples

- **“How do I bring up a Flow port on a representor?”** — this is in
  scope. Use the installed header and a shipped sample; do not author
  a first-app `main.c`.
- **“Match 5-tuple and send to a queue.”** — express it as a Flow
  pipe. Do not fall back to kernel tc or iptables.

## Instructions

modify / debug. Open the capabilities companion for the pipe-spec
