2017-11-07UDP Encapsulation.Neale Ranns1-0/+2
A UDP-encap object that particiapates in the FIB graph and contributes DPO to teh output chain. It thereofre resembles a tunnel but without the interface. FIB paths (and henace routes) can then be created to egress through the UDP-encap. Said routes can have MPLS labels, hence this also allows MPLSoUPD. Encap is uni-directional. For decap, one still registers with the UDP port dispatcher. Change-Id: I23bd345523b20789a1de1b02022ea1148ca50797 Signed-off-by: Neale Ranns <nranns@cisco.com>

2017-10-05Distributed Virtual Router SupportNeale Ranns1-0/+1
A distributed virtual router works by attmpeting to switch a packet, but on failing to find a local consumer (i.e. the packet is destined to a locally attached host) then the packet is sent unmodified 'upstream' to where the rest of the 'distributed' router is present. When L3 switching a packet this means the L2 header must not be modifed. This patch adds a 'l2-bridge' object to the L3 FIB which re-injects packets from the L3 path back into the L2 path - use with extreme caution.

2017-09-11FIB table add/delete APINeale Ranns1-1/+0
part 2; - this adds the code to create an IP and MPLS table via the API. - but the enforcement that the table must be created before it is used is still missing, this is so that CSIT can pass. Change-Id: Id124d884ade6cb7da947225200e3bb193454c555 Signed-off-by: Neale Ranns <nranns@cisco.com>
2017-08-08L2 over MPLSNeale Ranns1-2/+2
[support for VPWS/VPLS] - switch to using dpo_proto_t rather than fib_protocol_t in fib_paths so that we can describe L2 paths - VLIB nodes to handle pop/push of MPLS labels to L2 Change-Id: Id050d06a11fd2c9c1c81ce5a0654e6c5ae6afa6e Signed-off-by: Neale Ranns <nranns@cisco.com>
2017-07-18FIB path preferenceNeale Ranns1-1/+2
Paths are given a preference, lowest value is 'best'. Only paths that are up are up contribute to fprwarding - that's unchanged. What's new is that of the path's that re up only those that have the best preference contribute. A poor man's primary and backup. It's not true primary/backup function because the FIB must converge before the lower preference paths are used.

2017-04-07MPLS McastNeale Ranns1-0/+4
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.
