name: Adjacency
maintainer: Neale Ranns <nranns@cisco.com>
features:
- An adjacency represents how to send different traffic types to a peer
- The principles properties of an adjacency are the interface and rewrite.
The rewrite will be prepended to the packet as it is forward through the
interface.
- The rewrite is provided either by the interface type. It can be constructed
either from fixed interface properties (i.e. src,dst IP address on a P2P
tunnel) or from a resolution protocol (like ARP on an Ethernet link).
- An Adjacency is said to be complete when the rewrite is present and
incomplete when it is not,
- An adjacency that is a leaf in the DPO graph is terminal/normal (i.e on
a physical interface). When not terminal it is termed a midchain (i.e.
one on a virtual interface, e.g. GRE tunnel). Midchain adjacencies can be
stacked/joined onto the the DPO graph that described subsequent forwarding
(i.e. how to send the the GRE tunnel's destination address).
- Glean adjacencies describe how to broadcast packets onto a subnet
description: "Adjacencies represent the next-hop information required to reach a directly connected neighbour."
