2018-02-15Optimize GRE Tunnel and add support for ERSPAN encapJohn Lo1-5/+9
Change GRE tunnel to use the interface type where the same encap node is used as output node for all GRE tunnels, instead of having dedicated output and tx node for each tunnel. This allows for more efficient tunnel creation and deletion at scale tested at 1000's of GRE tunnels. Add support for ERSPAN encap as another tunnel type, in addition to the existing L3 and TEB types. The GRE ERSPAN encap supported is type 2 thus GRE encap need to include sequence number and GRE- ERSPAN tunnel can be created with user secified ERSPAN session ID. The GRE tunnel lookup hash key is updated to inclue tunnel type and session ID, in addition to SIP/DIP and FIB index. Thus, GRE-ERSPAN tunnel can be created, with the appropriate session ID, to be used as output interface for SPAN config to send mirrored packets. Change interface naming so that all GRE tunnels, irrespective of tunnel type, uses "greN" where N is the instance number. Removed interface reuse on tunnel creation and deletion to enable unfied tunnel interface name. Add support of user specified instance on GRE tunnel creation. Thus, N in the "greN" interface name can optionally be specified by user via CLI/API. Optimize GRE tunnel encap DPO stacking to bypass load-balance DPO node since packet output on GRE tunnel always belong to the same flow after 5-tupple hash.

2018-01-11api: remove transport specific code from handlersFlorin Coras1-10/+8
This does not update api client code. In other words, if the client assumes the transport is shmem based, this patch does not change that. Furthermore, code that checks queue size, for tail dropping, is not updated. Done for the following apis: Plugins - acl - gtpu - memif - nat - pppoe VNET - bfd - bier - tapv2 - vhost user - dhcp - flow - geneve - ip - punt - ipsec/ipsec-gre - l2 - l2tp - lisp-cp/one-cp - lisp-gpe - map - mpls - policer - session - span - udp - tap - vxlan/vxlan-gpe - interface VPP - api/api.c OAM - oam_api.c Stats - stats.c Change-Id: I0e33ecefb2bdab0295698c0add948068a5a83345 Signed-off-by: Florin Coras <fcoras@cisco.com>
2018-01-09api: refactor vlibmemoryFlorin Coras1-2/+2
- separate client/server code for both memory and socket apis - separate memory api code from generic vlib api code - move unix_shared_memory_fifo to svm and rename to svm_fifo_t - overall declutter Change-Id: I90cdd98ff74d0787d58825b914b0f1eafcfa4dc2 Signed-off-by: Florin Coras <fcoras@cisco.com>
2018-01-09GRE tunnel key should use fib_index instead of fib_id (VPP-1118)John Lo1-12/+1
Follow up fix - vl_api_gre_add_del_tunnel_t_handler should pass outer_fib_id from API message to vnet_gre_add_del_tunnel() and not convert it to fib_index, since vnet_gre_add_del_tunnel() already perform the lookup to get fib_index from fib_id.

2017-04-05GRE over IPv6Ciara Loftus1-11/+33
Refactors the GRE node to work with both IPv4 and IPv6 transports. Note that this changes the binary configuration API to support both address families; each address uses the same memory for either address type and a flag to indicate which is in use. The CLI and VAT syntax remains unchanged; the code detects whether an IPv4 or an IPv6 address was given. Configuration examples: IPv4 CLI: create gre tunnel src 192.168.1.1 dst 192.168.1.2 IPv6 CLI: create gre tunnel src 2620:124:9000::1 dst 2620:124:9000::2 IPv4 VAT: gre_add_del_tunnel src 192.168.1.1 dst 192.168.1.2 IPv6 VAT: gre_add_del_tunnel src 2620:124:9000::1 dst 2620:124:9000::2 Change-Id: Ica8ee775dc101047fb8cd41617ddc8fafc2741b0 Signed-off-by: Ciara Loftus <ciara.loftus@intel.com>
