It can refer to the maximum frame size that a NIC can send. On Ethernet that would include the Ethernet header but typically not the IGF. It can refer to the maximum packet size, that is, on Ethernet an MTU of 1500, would allow an IPv4 packet of 1500 bytes, that would result in an Ethernet frame of 1518 bytes. - -# MTU in VPP -VPP allows setting of the physical payload MTU. I.e. not including L2 overhead. Setting the hardware MTU will program the NIC. -This MTU will be inherited by all software interfaces. - -VPP also allows setting of the payload MTU for software interfaces. Independently of the MTU set on the hardware. If the software payload MTU is set higher than the capability of the NIC, the packet will be dropped. - -In addition VPP supports setting the MTU of individual network layer protocols. IPv4, IPv6 or MPLS. For example an IPv4 MTU of 1500 (includes the IPv4 header) will fit in a hardware payload MTU of 1500. - -_Note we might consider changing the hardware payload MTU to hardware MTU_. That is, the MTU includes all L2 framing. Then the payload MTU can be calculated based on the interface's configuration.

SHA1 and meticulous -SHA1 authentication is supported by VPP. First, authentication keys are -configured in VPP and afterwards they can be used by sessions. - -There are two key IDs in the scope of BFD session: - -* configuration key ID is the internal unique key ID inside VPP and is never - communicated to any peer, it serves only the purpose of identifying the key -* BFD key ID is the key ID carried in BFD control frames and is used for - verifying authentication - -#### Turning auth on/off - -Authentication can be turned on or off at any time. Care must be taken however, -to either synchronize the authentication manipulation with peer's actions -to avoid the session going down. - -##### Delayed option - -Delayed option is useful for synchronizing authentication changes with a peer. -If it's specified, then authentication change is not performed immediately. -In this case, VPP continues to transmit packets using the old authentication -method (unauthenticated or using old sha1 key). If a packet is received, which -does not pass the current authentication, then VPP tries to authenticate it -using the new method (which might be none, if deactivating authentication) -and if it passes, then the new authentication method is put in use. - -The recommended procedure for enabling/changing/disabling session -authentication is: - -1. perform authentication change on vpp's side with delayed option set to yes -2. perform authentication change on peer's side (without delayed option) - -Notes: - -* if both peers use delayed option at the same time, the change will never - be carried out, since none of the peers will see any packet with the new - authentication which could trigger the change -* remote peer does not need to support or even be aware of this mechanism - for it to work properly - - -### Echo function - -Echo function is used by VPP whenever a peer declares the willingness -to support it, echo-source is set and it contains a usable subnet (see below). -When echo function is switched on, the required min rx interval advertised -to peer is set to 1 second (or the configured value, if its higher). - -#### Echo source address - -Because echo packets are only looped back (and not processed in any way) -by a peer, it's necessary to set the source address in a way which avoids -packet drop due to spoofing protection by VPP. Per RFC, the source address -should not be in the subnet set on the interface over which the echo packets -are sent. Also, it must not be any VPP-local address, otherwise the packet -gets dropped on receipt by VPP. The solution is to create a loopback interface -with a (private) IPv4/IPv6 subnet assigned as echo-source. The BFD then picks -an unused address from the subnet by flipping the last bit and uses that as -source address in the echo packets, thus meeting RFC recommendation while -avoiding spoofing protection. - -Example: if 10.10.10.3/31 is the subnet, then 10.10.10.2 will be used as - source address in (IPv4) echo packets - -### Demand mode - -Demand mode is respected by VPP, but not used locally. The only scenario when -demand mode could make sense currently is when echo is active. Because echo -packets are inherently insecure against an adversary looping them back a poll -sequence would be required for slow periodic connectivity verification anyway. -It's more efficient to just ask the remote peer to send slow periodic control -frames without VPP initiating periodic poll sequences. - -### Admin-down - -Session may be put admin-down at any time. This immediately causes the state -to be changed to AdminDown and remain so unless the session is put admin-up. - -## BFD implementation notes - -Because BFD can work over different transport layers, the BFD code is separated -into core BFD functionality - main module implemented in bfd_main.c -and transport-specific code implemented in bfd_udp.c. - -### Main module - -Main module is responsible for handling all the BFD functionality defined -in RFC 5880. - -#### Internal API - -Internal APIs defined in bfd_main.h are called from transport-specific code -to create/modify/delete - -#### Packet receipt - -When a packet is received by the transport layer, it is forwarded to main -module (to main thread) via an RPC call. At this point, the authentication has -been verified, so the packet is consumed, session parameters are updated -accordingly and state change (if applicable). Based on these, the timeouts -are adjusted if required and an event is sent to the process node to wake up -and recalculate sleep time. - -#### Packet transmit - -Main module allocates a vlib_buffer_t, creates the required BFD frame (control -or echo in it), then calls the transport layer to add the transport layer. -Then a frame containing the buffer to the aprropriate node is created -and enqueued. - -#### Process node - -Main module implements one process node which is a simple loop. The process -node gets next timeout from the timer wheel, sleeps until the timeout expires -and then calls a timeout routine which drives the state machine for each -session which timed out. The sleep is interrupted externally via vlib event, -when a session is added or modified in a way which might require timer wheel -manipulation. In this case the caller inserts the necessary timeout to timer -wheel and then signals the process node to wake up early, handle possible -timeouts and recalculate the sleep time again. - -#### State machine - -Default state of BFD session when created is Down, per RFC 5880. State changes -to Init, Up or Down based on events like received state from peer and timeouts. -The session state can be set AdminDown using a binary API, which prevents it -from going to any other state, until this limitation is removed. This state -is advertised to peers in slow periodic control frames. - -For each session, the following timeouts are maintained: - -1. tx timeout - used for sending out control frames -2. rx timeout - used for detecting session timeout -3. echo tx timeout - used for sending out echo frames -3. echo rx timeout - used for detecting session timeout based on echo - -These timeouts are maintained in cpu clocks and recalculated when appropriate -(e.g. rx timeout is bumped when a packet is received, keeping the session -alive). Only the earliest timeout is inserted into the timer wheel at a time -and timer wheel events are never deleted, rather spurious events are ignored. -This allows efficient operation, like not inserting events into timing wheel -for each packet received or ignoring left-over events in case a bfd session -gets removed and a new one is recreated with the same session index. - -#### Authentication keys management - -Authentication keys are managed internally in a pool, with each key tracking -it's use count. The removal/modification is only allowed if the key is not in -use. - -### UDP module - -UDP module is responsible for: - -1. public APIs/CLIs to configure BFD over UDP. -2. support code called by main module to encapsulate/decapsulate BFD packets - -This module implements two graph nodes - for consuming ipv4 and ipv6 packets -target at BFD ports 3874 and 3875. - -#### Packet receipt - -BFD packet receipt receipt starts in the bfd udp graph nodes. Since the code -needs to verify IP/UDP header data, it relies on ip4-local (and ip6-local) -nodes to store pointers to the appropriate headers. First, your discriminator -is extracted from BFD packet and used to lookup the existing session. In case -it's zero, the pair of IP addresses and sw_if_index is used to lookup session. -Then, main module is called to verify the authentication, if present. -Afterwards a check is made if the IP/UDP headers are correct. If yes, then -an RPC call is made to the main thread to consume the packet and take action -upon it. - -#### Packet transmission - -When process node decides that there is a need to transmit the packet, it -creates a buffer, fills the BFD frame data in and calls the UDP module to -add the transport layer. This is a simple operation for the control frames -consisting of just adding UDP/IP headers based on session data. For echo -frames, an additional step, looking at the echo-source interface and picking -and address is performed and if this fails, then the packet cannot be -transmitted and an error is returned to main thread. diff --git a/src/vnet/bfd/bfd_doc.rst b/src/vnet/bfd/bfd_doc.rst new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..54a53c6fe92 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/vnet/bfd/bfd_doc.rst @@ -0,0 +1,512 @@ +.. _bfd_doc: + +BFD module +========== + +Overview +-------- + +Bidirectional Forwarding Detection in VPP currently supports single-hop +UDP transport based on RFC 5880 and RFC 5881. + +Usage +----- + +General usage +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +BFD sessions are created using APIs only.

The BFD then picks an unused address +from the subnet by flipping the last bit and uses that as source address +in the echo packets, thus meeting RFC recommendation while avoiding +spoofing protection. + +Example: if 10.10.10.3/31 is the subnet, then 10.10.10.2 will be used as +source address in (IPv4) echo packets + +Demand mode +~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Demand mode is respected by VPP, but not used locally. The only scenario +when demand mode could make sense currently is when echo is active. +Because echo packets are inherently insecure against an adversary +looping them back a poll sequence would be required for slow periodic +connectivity verification anyway. It’s more efficient to just ask the +remote peer to send slow periodic control frames without VPP initiating +periodic poll sequences. + +Admin-down +~~~~~~~~~~ + +Session may be put admin-down at any time. This immediately causes the +state to be changed to AdminDown and remain so unless the session is put +admin-up. + +BFD implementation notes +------------------------ + +Because BFD can work over different transport layers, the BFD code is +separated into core BFD functionality - main module implemented in +bfd_main.c and transport-specific code implemented in bfd_udp.c. + +Main module +~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Main module is responsible for handling all the BFD functionality +defined in RFC 5880. + +Internal API +^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Internal APIs defined in bfd_main.h are called from transport-specific +code to create/modify/delete + +Packet receipt +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +When a packet is received by the transport layer, it is forwarded to +main module (to main thread) via an RPC call. At this point, the +authentication has been verified, so the packet is consumed, session +parameters are updated accordingly and state change (if applicable). +Based on these, the timeouts are adjusted if required and an event is +sent to the process node to wake up and recalculate sleep time. + +Packet transmit +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Main module allocates a vlib_buffer_t, creates the required BFD frame +(control or echo in it), then calls the transport layer to add the +transport layer. Then a frame containing the buffer to the appropriate +node is created and enqueued. + +Process node +^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Main module implements one process node which is a simple loop. The +process node gets next timeout from the timer wheel, sleeps until the +timeout expires and then calls a timeout routine which drives the state +machine for each session which timed out. The sleep is interrupted +externally via vlib event, when a session is added or modified in a way +which might require timer wheel manipulation. In this case the caller +inserts the necessary timeout to timer wheel and then signals the +process node to wake up early, handle possible timeouts and recalculate +the sleep time again. + +State machine +^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Default state of BFD session when created is Down, per RFC 5880. State +changes to Init, Up or Down based on events like received state from +peer and timeouts. The session state can be set AdminDown using a binary +API, which prevents it from going to any other state, until this +limitation is removed. This state is advertised to peers in slow +periodic control frames. + +For each session, the following timeouts are maintained: + +1. tx timeout - used for sending out control frames +2. rx timeout - used for detecting session timeout +3. echo tx timeout - used for sending out echo frames +4. echo rx timeout - used for detecting session timeout based on echo + +These timeouts are maintained in cpu clocks and recalculated when +appropriate (e.g. rx timeout is bumped when a packet is received, +keeping the session alive). Only the earliest timeout is inserted into +the timer wheel at a time and timer wheel events are never deleted, +rather spurious events are ignored. This allows efficient operation, +like not inserting events into timing wheel for each packet received or +ignoring left-over events in case a bfd session gets removed and a new +one is recreated with the same session index. + +Authentication keys management +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Authentication keys are managed internally in a pool, with each key +tracking it’s use count. The removal/modification is only allowed if the +key is not in use. + +UDP module +~~~~~~~~~~ + +UDP module is responsible for: + +1. public APIs/CLIs to configure BFD over UDP. +2. support code called by main module to encapsulate/decapsulate BFD + packets + +This module implements two graph nodes - for consuming ipv4 and ipv6 +packets target at BFD ports 3874 and 3875. + +.. _packet-receipt-1: + +Packet receipt +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +BFD packet receipt receipt starts in the bfd udp graph nodes. Since the +code needs to verify IP/UDP header data, it relies on ip4-local (and +ip6-local) nodes to store pointers to the appropriate headers. First, +your discriminator is extracted from BFD packet and used to lookup the +existing session. In case it’s zero, the pair of IP addresses and +sw_if_index is used to lookup session. Then, main module is called to +verify the authentication, if present. Afterwards a check is made if the +IP/UDP headers are correct. If yes, then an RPC call is made to the main +thread to consume the packet and take action upon it. + +Packet transmission +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +When process node decides that there is a need to transmit the packet, +it creates a buffer, fills the BFD frame data in and calls the UDP +module to add the transport layer. This is a simple operation for the +control frames consisting of just adding UDP/IP headers based on session +data. For echo frames, an additional step, looking at the echo-source +interface and picking and address is performed and if this fails, then +the packet cannot be transmitted and an error is returned to main +thread. diff --git a/src/vnet/ipfix-export/ipfix_doc.md b/src/vnet/ipfix-export/ipfix_doc.md deleted file mode 100644 index edae3f73660..00000000000 --- a/src/vnet/ipfix-export/ipfix_doc.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,355 +0,0 @@ -# IPFIX support {#ipfix_doc} - -VPP includes a high-performance IPFIX record exporter.

He can do so by using the CLI: + +:: + + sr mpls policy te bsid xxxxx endpoint x.x.x.x color 12341234 + +Notice that an SR policy can have a single endpoint and a single color. +Notice that the *endpoint* value is an IP46 address and the color a u32. + +Then, for any BGP/Service route the user has to use the API to steer +prefixes: + +:: + + sr steer l3 2001::/64 via next-hop 2001::1 color 1234 co 2 + sr steer l3 2001::/64 via next-hop 2001::1 color 1234 co 2 vpn-label 500 + +Notice that *co* refers to the CO-bits (values [0|1|2|3]). + +Notice also that a given prefix might be steered over several colors +(same next-hop and same co-bit value).
