2021-03-01nat: pick outside addr based on local addrKlement Sekera3-36/+40
Use outside addresses more evenly by using local address to pick from pool of addresses. This ensures stability from POV of remote host - an internal host always gets translated using the same outside address, so it doesn't appear to be "hopping". Also, this avoids all hosts being translated using the first address, which helps avoid needless recaptchas and the like. Exact assignment depends on internal ordering of addresses - local address is used to pick an offset into internal vector. If that address cannot be used, a linear search is performed as a fallback mechanism to find a possible translation.

2021-02-24nat: Final NAT44 EI/ED split patchFilip Varga15-1337/+9111
This patch achieves complete separation of endpoint-dependent and endpoint-independent IPv4 NAT features. Some common stuff is also moved to NAT library. Type: refactor Change-Id: I52468b7e2b5ac28958a2baf8e2ea01787322e801 Signed-off-by: Filip Varga <fivarga@cisco.com>
2021-02-10nat: fix EI hairpinning thread safetyKlement Sekera1-24/+242
Avoid doing inter-thread reads without locks by doing a handoff before destination address rewrite. Destination address is read from a session which is possibly owned by a different thread. By splitting the work in two parts with a handoff in the middle, we can do both in a thread safe way.

2021-02-05nat: configurable handoff frame queue sizeElias Rudberg1-0/+3
Make number of worker handoff frame queue elements configurable as a set nat frame-queue-nelts command. The default value is 64 which is the same value that was previously hard-coded. The idea is that allowing larger values can be useful in some cases, to avoid congestion drops. Also add nat_set_fq_options API support and a corresponding test case.

2021-02-04nat: reduce number of hash tables for EI NATKlement Sekera4-81/+73
Making code more simple and storing thread index along with session index as a preparation step for fixing thread safety patches. Type: improvement Signed-off-by: Klement Sekera <ksekera@cisco.com> Change-Id: Ib0c531e9f1f64b1f1ee912d4a83279200638e931
2021-01-18nat: deal with flows instead of sessionsKlement Sekera2-5/+5
This change introduces flow concept to endpoint-dependent NAT. Instead of having a session and a plethora of special cases in code for e.g. hairpinning, twice-nat and others, figure all this out and store it in flow logic. Every flow has a match and a rewrite part. This unifies all the NAT packet processing cases into one - match a flow and rewrite the packet based on that flow. It also provides a cure for hairpinning dilemma where one part of the flow is on one worker and another on a different one. These cases are also sped up by not requiring destination adress lookup every single time to be able to rewrite source nat as this is now part of flow rewrite logic.
