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…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# 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 Follow Loading order below. Open the tasks companion for configure / modify / debug. Open the capabilities companion for the pipe-spec schema and safety policy. For connection tracking, read the tasks companion's `flow-ct` section before starting ports: CT initialization is process-global and must precede port start. Adding CT to running ports requires an approved interruption and reconstruction from a captured configuration, not a per-port `doca_ctx_start` call or reuse of invalidated pipe handles. ## Non-negotiable: first app is NGC pull + a shipped sample, not authored C When the user is new to DOCA, has docker, has no host DOCA, or asks for a first Flow app, do this **before host `pkg-config` and before any source listing**: 1. **Bundle first.** This answer follows the local doca-skills bundle: `doca-setup/SKILL.md` (Stage 1 vs …

How to install
mdr add nvidia/skills/doca-flow@sha256:8836e286f30754e1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.3aecfe9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
