PacketData (schema)

This is an abstract type. Concrete child types:
BinaryPacketData
FieldsPacketData

Name Description Type Notes

frame_size Requested total size of the (logical) packet in bytes

If the requested frame_size is too small (given the payload and
traceflow metadata requirement of 16 bytes), the traceflow request
will fail with an appropriate message. The frame will be zero padded to
the requested size.
integer Minimum: 60
Maximum: 1000
Default: "128"

resource_type Packet configuration string Required
Enum: BinaryPacketData, FieldsPacketData
Default: "FieldsPacketData"

routed Awareness of logical routing

When this flag is set, traceflow packet will have its destination
overwritten as the gateway address of the logical router to which
the source logical switch is connected. More specifically:
- For ARP request, the target IP will be overwritten as gateway IP if the target
IP is not in the same subnet of gateway.
- For ARP response, the target IP and destination MAC will be overwritten as
gateway IP/MAC respectively, if the target IP is not in the same subnet of gateway.
- For IP packet, the destination MAC will be overwritten as gateway MAC.
However, this flag will not be effective when injecting the traceflow packet
to a VLAN backed port. This is because the gateway in this case is a physical
gateway that is outside the scope of NSX. Therefore, users need to manually
populate the gateway MAC address. If the user still sets this flag in this case,
a validation error will be thrown.
boolean

transport_type Transport type of the traceflow packet

This type takes effect only for IP packet.
string Enum: BROADCAST, UNICAST, MULTICAST, UNKNOWN
Default: "UNICAST"
