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.

2017-05-23ARP/ND entries for the same address on different interfaces (VPP-848)Neale Ranns1-3/+3
there are, intentionally, no validation checks in the ARP/ND code to prevent an ARP/ND entry from being installed for an address that is not local to the interface's sub-net. This is ok, since the adjacency/FIB code is designed to handle this case using the 'refinement' criteria - i.e. only installing a FIB entry for the address if the address 'refines' (i.e. is more specific than) the interface's sub-net. However, the refinement criteria currently operates on the FIB entry's prefix (which is a /32, so on the address) and not on the next-hop in the path. So, enter multiple ARP entries for the same address on different links, and this refinement criteria uses only the last added path, and so will remove the FIB entry should the ARP entries be added in the 'wrong' order. This fix updates the refinement criteria to work on each path of the FIB entry. The entry is installed if one of the paths refines the covers and only paths refining the cover contribute forwarding. Per-path refinement checks are stored in path-extensions. The patch is rather large as path-extension, which were previously used only for out-going MPLS labels, have been generalized.

2017-04-24Improve Load-Balance MAPsNeale Ranns1-1/+1
- only build them for popular path-lists (where popular means more than 64 children) the reason to have a map is to improve convergence speed for recursive prefixes - if there are only a few this technique is not needed - only build them when there is at least one path that has recursive constraints, i.e. a path that can 'fail' in a PIC scenario. - Use the MAPS in the switch path. - PIC test cases for functionality (not convergence performance) Change-Id: I70705444c8469d22b07ae34be82cfb6a01358e10 Signed-off-by: Neale Ranns <nranns@cisco.com>
2017-04-07MPLS McastNeale Ranns1-2/+15
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.

2017-03-17Attached hostsNeale Ranns1-0/+6
allow this config to function: set int ip address loop0 169.254.1.1/32 (the default GW address for attached hosts) set int unnumbered af_packet0 use loop0 ('enable' IP on the host interface) ip route add 192.168.1.1/32 via af_packet0 (where to find the host) repeat for each host and host interface. Inter-host communication is throught the /32 routes. To allow this: 1 - attached host routes have the ATTACHED flag set, so the ARP code accepts then as legitimate sources 2 - unnumbered interfaces inherit the source address from the IP interface Change-Id: Ib66c5f0e848c528f79372813adc3a0c11b50717f Signed-off-by: Neale Ranns <nranns@cisco.com>
