2019-11-26fib: Table ReplaceNeale Ranns1-11/+15
Type: feature from the API doc, a table replace is: " The use-case is that, for some unspecified reason, the control plane has a very different set of entries it wants in the table than VPP currently has. The CP would thus like to 'replace' VPP's current table only by specifying what the new set of entries shall be, i.e. it is not going to delete anything that already eixts. the CP delcartes the start of this procedure with this begin_replace API Call, and when it has populated all the entries it wants, it calls the below end_replace API. From this point on it is of coursce free to add and delete entries as usual. The underlying mechanism by which VPP implements this replace is purposefully left unspecified. " In the FIB, the algorithm is implemented using mark and sweep. Algorithm goes: 1) replace_begin: this marks all the entries in that table as 'stale' 2) download all the entries that should be in this table - this clears the stale flag on those entries 3) signal the table converged: ip_table_replace_end - this removes all entries that are still stale this procedure can be used when an agent first connects to VPP, as an alternative to dump and diff state reconciliation.

2019-07-28fib: add invalid source type and fix debug logBenoît Ganne1-2/+3
Add the FIB_SOURCE_INVALID fib source type. This allows to spot uninitialized fib source more easily (0 no longer means special) and we can use it as placeholder when no source is present. Use it to fix FIB_ENTRY_DBG() which was accessing the 1st source, even when no sources were present.

2018-03-20FIB Interpose SourceNeale Ranns1-13/+55
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.

2017-11-26FIB: optimise for src memory allocationsNeale Ranns1-22/+48
Most FIB entries will only ever have one source providing forwarding information. Currently the source infom is stored in a vector of sources on the FIB entry. Change this to a union of one source inline and a vector. This saves the need to alloc a vector of sources for each FIB entry. before: vpp# ip route add count 1500000 1.0.0.1/32 via 10.10.10.2 loop0 4.392857e5 routes/sec vpp# ip route del count 1500000 1.0.0.1/32 via 10.10.10.2 loop0 9.175464e5 routes/sec vpp# ip route add count 1500000 1.0.0.1/32 via 10.10.10.2 loop0 5.193375e5 routes/sec vpp# sh fib mem FIB memory Name Size in-use /allocated totals Entry 72 1500011/ 1500011 108000792/108000792 Entry Source 32 1500011/ 1500011 48000352/48000352 after: vpp# ip route add count 1500000 1.0.0.1/32 via 10.10.10.2 loop0 4.726560e5 routes/sec vpp# ip route del count 1500000 1.0.0.1/32 via 10.10.10.2 loop0 1.041629e6 routes/sec vpp# ip route add count 1500000 1.0.0.1/32 via 10.10.10.2 loop0 5.702895e5 routes/sec vpp# sh fib mem FIB memory Name Size in-use /allocated totals Entry 96 1500011/ 1500011 144001056/144001056 Entry Source 32 0 / 0 0/0 Change-Id: Ic71e413eaff1ec152656beda3b94186f7894ea49 Signed-off-by: Neale Ranns <nranns@cisco.com>
