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 Ranns1-10/+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.

2017-03-02Clean up binary api message handler registration issuesDave Barach1-27/+1
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>
