Updated the gtpu plugin code to support the PDU Session user plane protocol, required for 5G, as
specified in 3GPP TS 38.415 version 17.0.0. This enables some initial support of 5G gNodeB's with
the gtpu plugin.
New features:
- Basic support for the GTP-U Extension Header Flag.
Packets with one extension can now be decapsulated.
This enables basic support of the PDU Session user plane protocol (3GPP TS 38.415 version 17.0.0).
New tunnels can be created with a PDU enable flag and a 6-bit QoS Flow Identifier (QFI).
With this, encapsulated packets will have the PDU Session extension header, and the QFI set.
- Ability to forward GTP-U packets that are not handled by the plugin directly.
Only GTP-U packets with a message type of 255 (G-PDU) are handled directly.
However, 3GPP TS 29.281 defines several other message types like echo and error indication.
A new feature is added to optionally forward unknown or unsupported packets to a new IP address.
This works separately for unknown GTP-U message types, unknown TEIDs, and packets with an unknown
GTP-U header.
This allows both echo and error indications from a 5G gNodeB to be handled by a different system
outside VPP.
- Simple way to get metrics for active tunnels and on tunnel close.
In 5G session/tunnel lifetime is often short and created frequently.
The normal API becomes too slow and inaccurate when too many tunnels are created and deleted
every second.
Improvements:
- A clean ground structure to handle multiple message type in the future.
The code path for G-PDU packets is optimized for performance, representing the typical case.
Unsupported GTP-U packets enter a slow path that decodes the nature of the error.
This presents a easy hook to handle other message types in the future.
- Improved error reporting
When using traces there is more details in the tunnel descriptions.
- Updated the API with several enums.
Fixes:
- gtpu0->length field in IPv6 was computed with IPv4 header lengths in the encapsulation code.
- vec_set_len (t->rewrite, ...) size was computed with the IPv4 header size also for IPv6 tunnels.
Issues:
- This PR does not enable full support of the 3GPP specification.
In particular it only supports a single QoS/QFI flow for each tunnel.
It ignores all incoming extension header flags.
- API functions might change again when/if more support of the 3GPP TS 38.415 spec is added.
Note that I have bumped the API version to 2.1.0 as it seems to be the correct approach based on
my API changes.

Support separate local and remote TEIDs, with local (or RX) one used
for GTPU tunnel RX/decap and remote (or TX) one used encap/TX.
Updated current gtpu API to support seperate RX/TX TEIDs and added new
gtpu_tunnel_update_tteid API to allow changing TX-TEID of an existing
GTPU tunnel. The current tunnel field "teid" is used for RX-TEID and
a new field "tteid" is used for TX-TEID.

This is a version of the VPP API generator in Python PLY. It supports
the existing language, and has a plugin architecture for generators.
Currently C and JSON are supported.
Changes:
- vl_api_version to option version = "major.minor.patch"
- enum support
- Added error checking and reporting
- import support (removed the C pre-processor)
- services (tying request/reply together)
Version:
option version = "1.0.0";
Enum:
enum colours {
RED,
BLUE = 50,
};
define foo {
vl_api_colours_t colours;
};
Services:
service {
rpc foo returns foo_reply;
rpc foo_dump returns stream foo_details;
rpc want_stats returns want_stats_reply
events ip4_counters, ip6_counters;
};
Future planned features:
- unions
- bool, text
- array support (including length)
- proto3 output plugin
- Refactor C/C++ generator as a plugin
- Refactor Java generator as a plugin

Add one of these statements to foo.api:
vl_api_version 1.2.3
to generate a version tuple stanza in foo.api.h:
/****** Version tuple *****/
vl_api_version_tuple(foo, 1, 2, 3)
