2017-07-18FIB path preferenceNeale Ranns1-1/+5
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.

2017-04-26IP Flow Hash Config fixesNeale Ranns1-2/+10
- the flow hash config is (and was) cached on the load-balance object so the fib_table_t struct is not used a switch time. Therefore changes to the table's flow hash config need to be propagated to all load-balances and hance all FIB entries in the table. - enable API for setting the IPv6 table flow hash config - use only the hash config in the fib_table_t object and not on the ipX_fib_t - add tests.

2017-04-07MPLS McastNeale Ranns1-39/+59
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.

2017-04-01MTRIE Optimisations 2Neale Ranns1-15/+28
1) 16-8-8 stride. Reduce trie depth walk traded with increased memory in the top PLY. 2) separate the vector of protocol-independent (PI) fib_table_t with the vector of protocol dependent (PD) FIBs. PD FIBs are large structures, we don't want to burn the memory for ech PD type 3) Go straight to the PD FIB in the data-path thus avoiding an indirection through, e.g., a PLY pool.

2017-03-08Proxy ND (RFC4389 - or a sub-set thereof). This allows the 'emulation' of ↵Neale Ranns1-0/+102
bridging. That is hosts in one sub-net reachable via differenet interfaces. Introducate a new API command: ip6 nd proxy <host-address> <interface> this indicates 2 things; 1) that host <host-address> is reachable out of interface <interface>. VPP will thus install that route. 2) NS requests sent to <host-address> will be responeded to (i.e. proxied).

2017-03-02Clean up binary api message handler registration issuesDave Barach1-83/+0
Removed a fair number of "BUG" message handlers, due to conflicts with actual message handlers in api_format.c. Vpp itself had no business receiving certain messages, up to the point where we started building in relevant code from vpp_api_test. Eliminated all but one duplicate registration complaint. That one needs attention from the vxlan team since the duplicated handlers have diverged. Change-Id: Iafce5429d2f906270643b4ea5f0130e20beb4d1d Signed-off-by: Dave Barach <dave@barachs.net>

2017-02-13Augment IP_DETAILS, IP_ADDRESS_DETAILS with a few context fields.Jon Loeliger1-5/+12
When handling the IP_DETAILS and IP_ADDRESS_DETAILS replies, it is almost certainly going to require having both the is_ipv6 and sw_if_index context to handle them properly. Placing these values in an essentially global location as the current VAT does isn't thread-safe. Fruthermore, rather than forcing every API user to hoop-jump to establish these context values, simply provide them in their DETAILS reply messages.

2017-01-27IP Multicast FIB (mfib)Neale Ranns1-0/+210
- 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.
