2018-04-24	lacp: deleting the bond subinterface may cause lacp to lose the partner ↵	Steven	1	-13/+7
	[VPP-1251] Problem: When the bond subinterface is removed, it was observed that we lost the lacp partner. Show hardware shows rx counter goes up, but show interface does not for the slave interfaces. Cause: We reset the interface promiscuous mode when the bond subinterface is deleted. This causes dpdk not to accept any packet. Leave the interface in promiscuous mode fixes the problem. Other fixes: There are few places we use hw_if_index as if they are sw_if_index. But they don't necessarily have the same value. As soon as a subinterface is created, they start to diverge. The fix is to use the correct API for the hw_if_index and sw_if_index.

2018-03-21	bond: Add bonding driver and LACP protocol	Steven	1	-0/+393
	Add bonding driver to support creation of bond interface which composes of multiple slave interfaces. The slave interfaces could be physical interfaces, or just any virtual interfaces. For example, memif interfaces. The syntax to create a bond interface is create bond mode <lacp \| xor \| acitve-backup \| broadcast \| round-robin> To enslave an interface to the bond interface, enslave interface TenGigabitEthernet6/0/0 to BondEthernet0 Please see src/plugins/lacp/lacp_doc.md for more examples and additional options. LACP is a control plane protocol which manages and monitors the status of the slave interfaces. The protocol is part of 802.3ad standard. This patch implements LACPv1. LACPv2 is not supported. To enable LACP on the bond interface, specify "mode lacp" when the bond interface is created. The syntax to enslave a slave interface is the same as other bonding modes.
