2018-05-30bond: performance harvesting [VPP-1298]Steven1-7/+7
- hash is great. But it is a bit too slow for the DP. Use direct array indexing to quickly retrieve the slave interface. - the algorithm used by flow hash is great. But it is a bit too slow for the DP. Use l2_hash_hash() extracted from lb_hash.h which ECMP is using. It makes use of intrinsic crc32 instruction set. - shortcut modulo arithmetic when the operand is 2**x (where x up to 4) to avoid division instruction. - special case for link count == 1 in bond_tx_fn() - use clib_mem_unaligned to access data for the packet to avoid alignment error - Fix some typos for packet tracing.

2018-03-21bond: Add bonding driver and LACP protocolSteven1-0/+92
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.
