2018-03-20FIB Interpose SourceNeale Ranns1-4/+6
The interpose source allows the source/provider to insert/interpose a DPO in the forwarding chain of the FIB entry ahead of the forwarding provided by the next best source. For example if the API source (i.e the 'control plane') has provided an adjacency for forwarding, then an interpose source (e.g. a monitoring service) couold interpose a replicatte DPO to copy the traffic to another location AND forward using the API's adjacency. To use the interose feature an existing source (i.e FIB_SOURCE_PLUGIN_HI) cn specifiy as a flag FIB_ENTRY_FLAG_INTERPOSE and provide a DPO to interpose. One might also consider using interpose in conjunction with FIB_ENTRY_FLAG_COVER_INHERIT to ensure the interpose object affects all prefixes in the sub-tree.

2017-04-07MPLS McastNeale Ranns1-0/+2
1 - interface-DPO Used in the Data-plane to change a packet's input interface 2 - MPLS multicast FIB entry Same as a unicast entry but it links to a replicate not a load-balance DPO 3 - Multicast MPLS tunnel Update MPLS tunnels to use a FIB path-list to describe the endpoint[s]. Use the path-list to generate the forwarding chain (DPOs) to link to . 4 - Resolve a path via a local label (of an mLDP LSP) For IP multicast entries to use an LSP in the replication list, we need to decribe the 'resolve-via-label' where the label is that of a multicast LSP. 5 - MPLS disposition path sets RPF-ID For a interface-less LSP (i.e. mLDP not RSVP-TE) at the tail of the LSP we still need to perform an RPF check. An MPLS disposition DPO performs the MPLS pop validation checks and sets the RPF-ID in the packet. 6 - RPF check with per-entry RPF-ID An RPF-ID is used instead of a real interface SW if index in the case the IP traffic arrives from an LSP that does not have an associated interface.

2017-01-27IP Multicast FIB (mfib)Neale Ranns1-0/+143
- IPv[46] mfib tables with support for (*,G/m), (*,G) and (S,G) exact and longest prefix match - Replication represented via a new replicate DPO. - RPF configuration and data-plane checking - data-plane signals sent to listening control planes. The functions of multicast forwarding entries differ from their unicast conterparts, so we introduce a new mfib_table_t and mfib_entry_t objects. However, we re-use the fib_path_list to resolve and build the entry's output list. the fib_path_list provides the service to construct a replicate DPO for multicast. 'make tests' is added to with two new suites; TEST=mfib, this is invocation of the CLI command 'test mfib' which deals with many path add/remove, flag set/unset scenarios, TEST=ip-mcast, data-plane forwarding tests. Updated applications to use the new MIFB functions; - IPv6 NS/RA. - DHCPv6 unit tests for these are undated accordingly.
