-vCGNAPT - Readme
-========================================================
-
-Introduction
-==============
-This application implements vCGNAPT. The idea of vCGNAPT is to extend the life of
-the service providers IPv4 network infrastructure and mitigate IPv4 address
-exhaustion by using address and port translation in large scale. It processes the
-traffic in both the directions.
-
-It also supports the connectivity between the IPv6 access network to IPv4 data network
-using the IPv6 to IPv4 address translation and vice versa.
-
-About DPDK
-----------
-The DPDK IP Pipeline Framework provides set of libraries to build a pipeline
-application. In this document, CG-NAT application will be explained with its
-own building blocks.
-
-This document assumes the reader possess the knowledge of DPDK concepts and IP
-Pipeline Framework. For more details, read DPDK Getting Started Guide, DPDK
-Programmers Guide, DPDK Sample Applications Guide.
-
-Scope
-==========
-This application provides a standalone DPDK based high performance vCGNAPT
-Virtual Network Function implementation.
-
-Features
-===========
-The vCGNAPT VNF currently supports the following functionality:
- • Static NAT
- • Dynamic NAT
- • Static NAPT
- • Dynamic NAPT
- • ARP (request, response, gratuitous)
- • ICMP (terminal echo, echo response, passthrough)
- • ICMPv6 and ND (Neighbor Discovery)
- • UDP, TCP and ICMP protocol passthrough
- • Multithread support
- • Multiple physical port support
- • Limiting max ports per client
- • Limiting max clients per public IP address
- • Live Session tracking to NAT flow
- • NAT64
- • PCP Support
- • ALG SIP
- • ALG FTP
-
-High Level Design
-====================
-The Upstream path defines the traffic from Private to Public and the downstream
-path defines the traffic from Public to Private. The vCGNAPT has same set of
-components to process Upstream and Downstream traffic.
-
-In vCGNAPT application, each component is constructed as IP Pipeline framework.
-It includes Master pipeline component, load balancer pipeline component and vCGNAPT
-pipeline component.
-
-A Pipeline framework is collection of input ports, table(s), output ports and
-actions (functions). In vCGNAPT pipeline, main sub components are the Inport function
-handler, Table and Table function handler. vCGNAPT rules will be configured in the
-table which translates egress and ingress traffic according to physical port
-information from which side packet is arrived. The actions can be forwarding to the
-output port (either egress or ingress) or to drop the packet.
-
-vCGNAPT Graphical Overview
-==========================
-The idea of vCGNAPT is to extend the life of the service providers IPv4 network infrastructure
-and mitigate IPv4 address exhaustion by using address and port translation in large scale.
-It processes the traffic in both the directions.

-Components of vCGNAPT
-=====================
-
-In vCGNAPT, each component is constructed as a packet framework. It includes Master pipeline
-component, driver, load balancer pipeline component and vCGNAPT worker pipeline component. A
-pipeline framework is a collection of input ports, table(s), output ports and actions
-(functions).
-
-Receive and transmit driver
-----------------------------
-Packets will be received in bulk and provided to load balancer thread. The transmit takes
-packets from worker thread in a dedicated ring and sent to the hardware queue.
-
-ARPICMP pipeline
-------------------------
-ARPICMP pipeline is responsible for handling all l2l3 arp related packets.
-
-This component does not process any packets and should configure with Core 0,
-to save cores for other components which processes traffic. The component
-is responsible for:
-1. Initializing each component of the Pipeline application in different threads
-2. Providing CLI shell for the user
-3. Propagating the commands from user to the corresponding components.
-4. ARP and ICMP are handled here.
-
-Load Balancer pipeline
-------------------------
-Load balancer is part of the Multi-Threaded CGMAPT release which distributes
-the flows to Multiple ACL worker threads.
-
-Distributes traffic based on the 2 or 5 tuple (source address, source port,
-destination address, destination port and protocol) applying an XOR logic
-distributing the load to active worker threads, thereby maintaining an
-affinity of flows to worker threads.
-
-Tuple can be modified/configured using configuration file
-
-vCGNAPT - Static
-====================
-The vCGNAPT component performs translation of private IP & port to public IP &
-port at egress side and public IP & port to private IP & port at Ingress side
-based on the NAT rules added to the pipeline Hash table. The NAT rules are
-added to the Hash table via user commands. The packets that have a matching
-egress key or ingress key in the NAT table will be processed to change IP &
-port and will be forwarded to the output port. The packets that do not have a
-match will be taken a default action. The default action may result in drop of
-the packets.
-
-vCGNAPT - Dynamic
-===================
-The vCGNAPT component performs translation of private IP & port to public IP & port
-at egress side and public IP & port to private IP & port at Ingress side based on the
-NAT rules added to the pipeline Hash table. Dynamic nature of vCGNAPT refers to the
-addition of NAT entries in the Hash table dynamically when new packet arrives. The NAT
-rules will be added to the Hash table automatically when there is no matching entry in
-the table and the packet is circulated through software queue. The packets that have a
-matching egress key or ingress key in the NAT table will be processed to change IP &
-port and will be forwarded to the output port defined in the entry.
-
-Dynamic vCGNAPT acts as static one too, we can do NAT entries statically. Static NAT
-entries port range must not conflict to dynamic NAT port range.
-
-vCGNAPT Static Topology
-------------------------
-
-::
-
- IXIA(Port 0)-->(Port 0)VNF(Port 1)-->(Port 1) IXIA
- operation:
- Egress --> The packets sent out from ixia(port 0) will be CGNAPTed to ixia(port 1).
- Igress --> The packets sent out from ixia(port 1) will be CGNAPTed to ixia(port 0).
-
-vCGNAPT Dynamic Topology (L4REPLAY)
-------------------------------------
-
-::
-
- IXIA(Port 0)-->(Port 0)VNF(Port 1)-->(Port 0)L4REPLAY
- operation:
- Egress --> The packets sent out from ixia will be CGNAPTed to L3FWD/L4REPLAY.
- Ingress --> The L4REPLAY upon reception of packets (Private to Public Network),
- will immediately replay back the traffic to IXIA interface. (Pub -->Priv).
-
-How to run L4Replay
---------------------
-After the installation of samplevnf:
-
-::
-
- go to <samplevnf/VNFs/L4Replay>
- ./buid/L4replay -c core_mask -n no_of_channels(let it be as 2) -- -p PORT_MASK --config="(port,queue,lcore)"
- eg: ./L4replay -c 0xf -n 4 -- -p 0x3 --config="(0,0,1)"
-
-Installation, Compile and Execution
-====================================
-Plase refer to <samplevnf>/docs/vCGNAPT/INSTALL.rst for installation, configuration, compilation
-and execution.
