2019-11-26fib: Table ReplaceNeale Ranns1-2/+0
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.

2017-09-11FIB table add/delete APINeale Ranns1-9/+7
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>
2017-04-01MTRIE Optimisations 2Neale Ranns1-23/+3
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.

1 - Quad loop lookup and label imposition. 2 - optimise imposition for the 1 label case 3 - input gets TTL from header directly (no byte swap) Change-Id: I59204c9e5d134b0df75d7afa43e360f946d1ffe7 Signed-off-by: Neale Ranns <nranns@cisco.com>
