+
+Interconnecting VPCs with Segment Routing & Performance Evaluation
+____________________________________________________________________
+
+Before reading this part, you should have a minimum understading of AWS, especially on `VPC concepts <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/what-is-amazon-vpc.html>`_.
+
+
+
+.. figure:: /_images/Connecting_VPC.svg
+
+Figure 1: Simplified view of our final configuration.
+
+
+In this section we will set VPP as Gateway of our VPC and, thanks to its support to Segment Routing per IPV6, we will interconnect several VPCs together. Figure 1 shows what will be our final configuration. We are interested in interconnecting several VPCs together since we could perform Service Chaining inside AWS.
+
+Now we focus on the basic elements you should deploy inside the VPC in order to make this configuration works. Here you can find some scripts `to automate the deployment of these resources <https://github.com/francescospinelli94/Automating-Deployment-VPP>`_.
+In our VPC we will have two instances: one, in which we will install VPP and the other one which will be our Client/Server machine. We suggest you to create 3 subnets inside your VPC: one associated with IPv4 addresses, for reaching your VMs through SSH. The second one, also with IPV4 addresses, that allows connectivity between the Client/Server machine and the VPP machine. Finally you need a third one, with both IPv4 and IPv6 address, to connect VPP with the Amazon IGW and we will use IPv6 addresses to implement Segment Routing. Moreover you have to attach to the Client/Server machine one additional NIC, while instead to the VPP machine you have to attach 2 different NIC. One will be used inside the IPv6 subnet while the other one will allow communications with the other VM. you can find an example in Figure 2
+
+
+.. figure:: /_images/vpc_scheme.svg
+
+Figure 2: Example of the resourses present inside our VPC
+
+
+Notice that the following example works with two VPCs, where in each of them there are a VM with VPP and a VM. Hence, you will have to execute the same commands also in the other VPC to make the connection between the two VPC possibile.
+
+
+Now, create a new VM instance (you can use same setting as before (Ubuntu Server 16.04 and m5 type)) and attach a NIC. Remember that the two Client/Server machine's NICs should stay in two different IPv4 Subnet. Afterwards, on the VM's terminal execute these commands:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ sudo /sbin/ip -4 addr add 10.1.2.113/24 dev ens6
+ $ sudo ifconfig ens6 up
+ $ sudo /sbin/ip -4 route add 10.2.0.0/16 via 10.1.4.117
+
+Basically you are setting up the interface which you will use to reach VPP and telling that all the traffic belonging to the subnet 10.2.0.0/16, which in our case is the one of the other VPC, should go through VPP's interface. Remember also to do the same thing in the route table menu of the Amazon Console Management.
+
+Now go to the terminal of VPP, enter in the VPP CLI and type these commands to set up the two virtual interfaces. To see how to bind the NICs to VPP, see here (Link AWS in VPP).
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ vpp# set int state VirtualFunctionEthernet0/6/0 up
+ vpp# set int state VirtualFunctionEthernet0/7/0 up
+
+Here instead you are assigning the IP addresses to the network interfaces.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ vpp# set int ip address VirtualFunctionEthernet0/6/0 10.1.4.117/24
+ vpp# set int ip address VirtualFunctionEthernet0/7/0 2600:1f14:e0e:7f00:f672:1039:4e41:e68/64
+
+Afterwards, you should use the Segment Routing's functionalities. Note that for the localsid address we are using a different IPv6 address (you can generate another one through the Amazon console)
+
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ vpp# set sr encaps source addr 2600:1f14:e0e:7f00:f672:1039:4e41:e68
+ vpp# sr localsid address 2600:1f14:e0e:7f00:8da1:c8fa:5301:1d1f behavior end.dx4 VirtualFunctionEthernet0/6/0 10.1.4.117
+ vpp# sr policy add bsid c:1::999:1 next 2600:1f14:135:cc00:43c1:e860:7ce9:e94a encap
+ vpp# sr steer l3 10.2.5.0/24 via bsid c:1::999:1
+
+Finally, you are setting the ip6 discovery, telling which is the next hop (the IGW). Notice that the MAC address is the MAC address of the IGW.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+
+ vpp# set ip6 neighbor VirtualFunctionEthernet0/7/0 fe80::84f:3fff:fe2a:aaf0 0a:4f:3f:2a:aa:f0
+ vpp# ip route add ::/0 via fe80::84f:3fff:fe2a:aaf0 VirtualFunctionEthernet0/7/0
+
+
+Now go in the other VM instance in the other VPC, which could be located in another Amazon Region, and do the same commands. First in the VM:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ vpp# sudo /sbin/ip -4 addr add 10.2.5.190/24 dev ens6
+ vpp# sudo ifconfig ens6 up
+ vpp# sudo /sbin/ip -4 route add 10.2.0.0/16 via 10.2.5.21
+
+Then, in VPP:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ vpp# set int state VirtualFunctionEthernet0/6/0 up
+ vpp# set int state VirtualFunctionEthernet0/7/0 up
+ vpp# set int ip address VirtualFunctionEthernet0/6/0 10.2.5.21/24
+ vpp# set int ip address VirtualFunctionEthernet0/7/0 2600:1f14:135:cc00:13b9:ff74:348d:7642/64
+ vpp# set sr encaps source addr 2600:1f14:135:cc00:13b9:ff74:348d:7642
+ vpp# sr policy add bsid c:3::999:1 next 2600:1f14:e0e:7f00:8da1:c8fa:5301:1d1f encap
+ vpp# sr steer l3 10.1.4.0/24 via bsid c:3::999:1
+ vpp# set ip6 neighbor VirtualFunctionEthernet0/7/0 fe80::86a:b7ff:fe5d:73c0 0a:4c:fd:b8:c1:3e
+ vpp# ip route add ::/0 via fe80::86a:b7ff:fe5d:73c0 VirtualFunctionEthernet0/7/0
+
+Now if you try ping your Server machine from your Client Machine you should be able to reach it.
+
+If you are interested in Performance evaluation inside this scenario, we will present a poster at INFOCOM'19, in which will be present our performance evaluation of Segment routing inside AWS:
+
+*Francesco Spinelli, Luigi Iannone, and Jerome Tollet. “Chaining your Virtual Private Clouds with Segment Routing”. In:2019 IEEE INFOCOM Poster (INFOCOM2019 Poster). Paris, France, Apr. 2019*
+
+
+**Troubleshooting**
+
+* Remember to disable source/dest check on the VPP and VMs Network Card interfaces. You can do it through the Amazon Console.
+
+* The commands work with VPP version 18.07. If you're using a different version, probably the syntax of some VPP commands will be slightly different.
+
+* Be careful: if you stop your VM with VPP you will need to attach again the two NICs to VPP.

+VPP inside the Cloud
+====================
+
+This section will cover the VPP deployment inside two different Public Cloud Provider: Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure. Furthermore, we describe how to interconnect several Public Cloud Regions together with Segment Routing per IPv6 and we show some Performance Evaluation. Finally, we make our Terraform scripts available to the community, which could help in automating the VPP deployment inside the Cloud.

+VPP in AWS
+___________________
+
+Warning: before starting this guide you should have a minimum knowledge on how `AWS works <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/concepts.html>`_!
+
+First of all, you should log into your Virtual Machine inside AWS (we suggest to create an instance with Ubuntu 16.04 on a m5 type) and download some useful packages to make VPP installation as smooth as possible:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ sudo apt-get update
+ $ sudo apt-get upgrade
+ $ sudo apt-get install build-essential
+ $ sudo apt-get install python-pip
+ $ sudo apt-get install libnuma-dev
+ $ sudo apt-get install make
+ $ sudo apt install libelf-dev
+
+
+
+Afterwards, types the following commands to install VPP:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/fdio/1807/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
+
+
+
+
+In this case we downloaded VPP version 18.07 but actually you can use any VPP version available. Then, you can install VPP with all of its plugins:
+
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ sudo apt-get update
+ $ sudo apt-get install vpp
+ $ sudo apt-get install vpp-plugins vpp-dbg vpp-dev vpp-api-java vpp-api-python vpp-api-lua
+
+
+
+Now, you need to bind the NICs (Network Card Interface) to VPP. Firstly you have the retrieve the PCI addresses of the NICs you want to bind:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ sudo lshw -class network -businfo
+
+
+
+
+The PCI addresses have a format similar to this: 0000:00:0X.0. Once you retrieve them, you should copy them inside the startup file of VPP:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ sudo nano /etc/vpp/startup.conf
+
+
+
+Here, inside the dpdk block, copy the PCI addresses of the NIC you want to bind to VPP.
+
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ dev 0000:00:0X.0
+
+
+
+
+Now you should install DPDK package. This will allow to bind the NICs to VPP through a script available inside the DPDK package:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ wget https://fast.dpdk.org/rel/dpdk-18.08.tar.xz
+ $ tar -xvf dpdk-18.08.tar.xz
+ $ cd ~/dpdk-18.08/usertools/
+
+
+
+and open the script:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ ./dpdk-setup.sh
+
+
+
+When the script is running, you should be able to execute several options. For the moment, just install T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc and then close the script. Now go inside:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ cd ~/dpdk-18.08/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/
+
+
+
+and type:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ sudo modprobe uio
+ $ sudo insmod kmod/igb_uio.ko
+
+
+In this way, the PCIs addresses should appear inside the setup file of DPDK and therefore you can bind them:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ ./dpdk-setup.sh
+
+
+
+Inside the script, bind the NICs using the option 24.
+
+Finally restart VPP and the NICs should appear inside VPP CLI:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ sudo service vpp stop
+ $ sudo service vpp start
+ $ sudo vppctl show int
+
+
+
+
+Notice that if you stop the VM, you need to bind again the NICs.
+

+VPP in Azure
+___________________
+
+
+
+
+Before starting, a few notes:
+
+* in our configuration we use only DPDK 18.02, since with the newer versions, such as DPDK 18.05, we obtained several problems during VPP installation (mostly related with MLX4 PMD Drivers).
+
+* Some of the commands are taken from `Azure’s DPDK page <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/setup-dpdk>`_.
+
+To bring DPDK inside Azure, we perform the following procedure:
+
+Firstly, we install the DPDK dependencies:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-server/dpdk-azure –y
+ $ sudo apt-get update
+ $ sudo apt-get install -y librdmacm-dev librdmacm1 build-essential libnuma-dev libmnl-dev
+
+Then, we download DPDK 18.02:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ sudo wget https://fast.dpdk.org/rel/dpdk-18.02.2.tar.xz
+ $ tar -xvf dpdk-18.02.2.tar.xz
+
+Finally, we build DPDK, modifying first its configuration files in order to make VPP compatible with MLX4 drivers:
+
+Inside config/common_base, modify:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB=n
+ CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MLX4_PMD=y
+ CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MLX4_DLOPEN_DEPS=y
+ CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_TAP_PMD=y
+ CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_FAILSAFE_PMD=y
+
+and then:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+ $ sed -ri 's,(MLX._PMD=)n,\1y,' build/.config
+ $ make
+
+Finally we build DPDK:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ make install T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc DESTDIR=/home/ciscotest/test EXTRA_CFLAGS='-fPIC -pie'
+
+And we reboot the instance:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ reboot istance
+
+After the reboot, we type these commands:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ echo 1024 | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/node/node*/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
+ $ mkdir /mnt/huge
+ $ sudo mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/huge
+ $ grep Huge /proc/meminfo
+ $ modprobe -a ib_uverbs
+ $ cd x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/
+ $ ls
+ $ cd lib/
+ $ ls
+ $ sudo cp librte_pmd_mlx4_glue.so.18.02.0 /usr/lib
+
+**Now we focus on VPP installation:**
+
+In our configuration we use VPP 18.07.
+
+We perform this procedure in order to install VPP 18.07 with an external DPDK configuration inside Azure.
+
+Firstly, we download VPP
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ git clone https://gerrit.fd.io/r/vpp
+ $ git checkout v18.07
+
+Then, we build VPP, using the external DPDK configuration we previously made:
+
+We modify the path inside the vpp.mk file:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ build-data/platforms/vpp.mk
+ $ vpp_uses_external_dpdk = yes
+ $ vpp_dpdk_inc_dir = <PATH_TO_DESTDIR_NAME_FROM_ABOVE>/include/dpdk/
+ $ vpp_dpdk_lib_dir =<PATH_TO_DESTDIR_NAME_FROM_ABOVE>/lib
+
+<PATH_TO_DESTDIR_NAME_FROM_ABOVE> is whatever the path used when compiling DPDK above. These paths have to be absolute path in order for it to work.
+
+we modify build-data/platforms/vpp.mk to use
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ vpp_uses_dpdk_mlx4_pmd = yes
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ make build
+ $ cd build-root/
+ $ make V=0 PLATFORM=vpp TAG=vpp install-deb
+ $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
+
+Finally, we modify the startup.conf file:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ cd /etc/vpp
+ $ sudo nano startup.conf
+
+Inside the DPDK block, the following commands:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+
+ ## Whitelist specific interface by specifying PCI address
+ dev 000X:00:0X.0
+ dev 000X:00:0X.0
+
+ # Running failsafe
+ vdev net_vdev_netvsc0,iface=eth1
+ vdev net_vdev_netvsc1,iface=eth2
+
+*Please refer to Azure DPDK document to pick the right iface to use for failsafe vdev.*
+
+
+and finally:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ sudo service vpp stop
+ $ sudo service vpp start
+ $ sudo service vpp status
+ $ sudo vppctl
+
+Now VPP will work inside Azure!
