    "content": "Currently the l3fwd sample app supports LPM and EM lookup methods this\npatchset implements the FIB library as another lookup method for l3fwd.\nInstead of adding an individual flag for FIB, a new flag '--lookup' has\nbeen added that allows the user to select their desired lookup method.\nThe flags '-E' and '-L' have been retained for backwards compatibility.\n\n---\nv8:\n    - Updated commit log to better explain why subnets needed to be changed\n    - Changed the suffix on _common_route varibles to just _route\n    - Corrected spacing issue\n    - Route array symbols now only appear in binary once\n    - Added notice to release notes\n    - Removed large c blocks from doc and replaced with includes\n\nv7:\n    - Error log for invalid lookup method now runs within the parse_lookup\n      function for better maintainability\n\nv6:\n    - rte_exit no longer used within parse_lookup, exiting due to\n      incorrect config is now handled the same as the other config options\n    - Corrected a typo within print usage\n    - Moved -E and -L to the bottom of print usage as they are\n      now legacy flags\n\nv5:\n    - Removed runtime checks to ensure desired port is within portmask,\n      unused ports are still removed during setup\n\nv4:\n    - Changed individual switches for lookup methods to an\n      enum for all lookup methods\n    - Removed '-F' and introduced '--lookup' flag to select lookup methods\n    - Fixed indentation issues\n    - Renamed some variables for increased clarity\n    - Minor changes to some logic for readability\n    - Implemented MAC updating for FIB on non-SSE machines\n    - Implemented RFC1812 for FIB on non-SSE machines\n    - Added checks to ensure desired port is within portmask\n\nv3: add support for NEON, PPC 64 and machines that do not support SSE,\n    NEON or PPC 64.\n\nv2: added the socket header file to fix FreeBSD build.\n\nConor Walsh (5):\n  examples/l3fwd: fix LPM IPv6 subnets\n  examples/l3fwd: move l3fwd routes to common header\n  examples/l3fwd: add FIB infrastructure\n  examples/l3fwd: implement FIB lookup method\n  doc/guides/l3_forward: update documentation for FIB\n\n doc/guides/rel_notes/release_21_05.rst  |   5 +\n doc/guides/sample_app_ug/l3_forward.rst |  50 ++-\n examples/l3fwd/Makefile                 |   2 +-\n examples/l3fwd/l3fwd.h                  |  27 +-\n examples/l3fwd/l3fwd_event.c            |   9 +\n examples/l3fwd/l3fwd_event.h            |   1 +\n examples/l3fwd/l3fwd_fib.c              | 528 ++++++++++++++++++++++++\n examples/l3fwd/l3fwd_lpm.c              |  68 +--\n examples/l3fwd/l3fwd_route.h            |  19 +\n examples/l3fwd/main.c                   | 150 +++++--\n examples/l3fwd/meson.build              |   4 +-\n 11 files changed, 763 insertions(+), 100 deletions(-)\n create mode 100644 examples/l3fwd/l3fwd_fib.c\n create mode 100644 examples/l3fwd/l3fwd_route.h"
