.. _aclwithvpp: Access Control Lists (ACLs) with FD.io VPP ========================================== This section is overview of the options available to implement ACLs in FD.io VPP. As there are a number of way's to address ACL-like functionality, it is worth a separate survey of these options with some commentary on features and performance All performance numbers and examples from this document are reused from the `FD.io CSIT v19.04 performance report `__ All information and performance is accurate for `FD.io VPP 19.04 `__ release. The sections *performance* & *operational data* below correlate directly with those sections from the FD.io CSIT performance report.

Design notes: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - The cop graph nodes (input & white-list) make reuse of the FD.io VPP in FIB 2.0 implementation. Essentially a successful lookup in the FIB, indicates that a packet has been white-listed and may be forwarded. - cop-input: Determines if the frame is IPv4 or IPv6, and forwards to ipN-copwhitelist graph node. - ipN-copwhitelist: uses the ip4_fib_[mtrie,lookup] functions to confirm the packet's ip matches a route in the white-list fib. - Match: if it matches, it is then either sent to the next whitelist or to the ip layer. - No Match: if it there is not match, it is sent to error-drop.

Supports ~~~~~~~~ Actions """"""" - Count: don't now what this does, presume it count's matches. - Mark: Associate a matched flow with arbitrary data such as vxlan tunnel, for a lookup in the redirect graph node. - Buffer Advance: Can be used advance to an encapsulated ethernet or ip header. - Redirect to node: When you see a packet from flow xyz, the next node in FD.io VPP is the indicated graph node. - Redirect to queue: When you see a packet from flow xyz, is to redirect to rx queue n. - Drop: When you see a packet from flow xyz, drop the packet (next node is error drop). Design Notes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Currently the only place in FD.io VPP that this is used, is to accelerate VXLAN bypassing the Ethernet and IP Layers. - Flow uses DPDK rte_flow API under the hood for those network interfaces programmed through DPDK. - Redirect to node: worth remember that if you are bypassing a graph, you are bypassing all the checks in the graph node, e.e time-to-live, crcs and the like.
