  38 .SH DESCRIPTION
  39 .sp
  40 .LP
  41 The \fBflowadm\fR command is used to create, modify, remove, and show
  42 networking bandwidth and associated resources for a type of traffic on a
  43 particular link.
  44 .sp
  45 .LP
  46 The \fBflowadm\fR command allows users to manage networking bandwidth resources
  47 for a transport, service, or a subnet. The service is specified as a
  48 combination of transport and local port. The subnet is specified by its IP
  49 address and subnet mask. The command can be used on any type of data link,
  50 including physical links, virtual NICs, and link aggregations.
  51 .sp
  52 .LP
  53 A flow is defined as a set of attributes based on Layer 3 and Layer 4 headers,
  54 which can be used to identify a protocol, service, or a virtual machine. When a
  55 flow is identified based on flow attributes, separate kernel resources
  56 including layer 2, 3, and 4 queues, their processing threads, and other
  57 resources are uniquely created for it, such that other traffic has minimal or
  58 zero impact on it.
  59 .sp
  60 .LP
  61 Inbound and outbound packet are matched to flows in a very fast and scalable
  62 way, so that limits can be enforced with minimal performance impact.
  63 .sp
  64 .LP
  65 The \fBflowadm\fR command can be used to identify a flow without imposing any
  66 bandwidth resource control. This would result in the traffic type getting its
  67 own resources and queues so that it is isolated from rest of the networking
  68 traffic for more observable and deterministic behavior.
  69 .sp
  70 .LP
  71 \fBflowadm\fR is implemented as a set of subcommands with corresponding
  72 options. Options are described in the context of each subcommand.

 241 and its relative priority to other traffic can be specified. If no bandwidth
 242 limit or priority is specified, the traffic still gets its unique layer 2, 3,
 243 and 4 queues and processing threads, including NIC hardware resources (when
 244 supported), so that the selected traffic can be separated from others and can
 245 flow with minimal impact from other traffic.
