ACL is typically -used for rule based policy enforcement. It restricts access to a destination -IP address/port based on various header fields, such as source IP address/port, -destination IP address/port and protocol. It is built on top of DPDK and -uses the packet framework infrastructure. - - ----------- -About DPDK ----------- -The DPDK IP Pipeline Framework provides a set of libraries to build a pipeline -application. In this document, vACL will be explained in detail with its own -building blocks. - -This document assumes the reader possesses the knowledge of DPDK concepts and -packet 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 vACL Virtual -Network Function implementation. - -Features -=========== -The vACL VNF currently supports the following functionality - • CLI based Run-time rule configuration.(Add, Delete, List, Display, Clear, Modify) - • Ipv4 and ipv6 standard 5 tuple packet Selector support. - • Multithread support - • Multiple physical port support - • Hardware and Software Load Balancing - • L2L3 stack support for ARP/ICMP handling - • ARP (request, response, gratuitous) - • ICMP (terminal echo, echo response, passthrough) - • ICMPv6 and ND (Neighbor Discovery) - -High Level Design -==================== -The ACL Filter performs bulk filtering of incoming packets based on rules in current ruleset, -discarding any packets not permitted by the rules. The mechanisms needed for building the -rule database and performing lookups are provided by the DPDK API. -http://dpdk.org/doc/api/rte__acl_8h.html - -The Input FIFO contains all the incoming packets for ACL filtering. Packets will be dequeued -from the FIFO in bulk for processing by the ACL. Packets will be enqueued to the output FIFO. -The Input and Output FIFOs will be implemented using DPDK Ring Buffers. - -The DPDK ACL example: http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/sample_app_ug/l3_forward_access_ctrl.html -#figure-ipv4-acl-rule contains a suitable syntax and parser for ACL rules. - -Components of vACL -======================= -In vACL, each component is constructed using packet framework pipelines. -It includes Rx and Tx Driver, Master pipeline, load balancer pipeline and -vACL worker pipeline components. 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 LoadBalancer(LB) thread. -Transimit takes packets from worker threads in a dedicated ring and sent to -hardware queue. - ---------------------------- -Master Pipeline ---------------------------- -The Master component is part of all the IP Pipeline applications. This component -does not process any packets and should configure with Core 0, to allow -other cores for processing of the traffic. This component is responsible for -1. Initializing each component of the Pipeline application in different threads -2. Providing CLI shell for the user control/debug -3. Propagating the commands from user to the corresponding components - ---------------------------- -ARPICMP Pipeline ---------------------------- -This pipeline processes the APRICMP packets. - ---------------------------- -TXRX Pipelines ---------------------------- -The TXTX and RXRX pipelines are pass through pipelines to forward both ingress -and egress traffic to Loadbalancer. This is required when the Software -Loadbalancer is used. - ---------------------------- -Load Balancer Pipeline ---------------------------- -The vACL support both hardware and software balancing for load blalcning of -traffic across multiple VNF threads. The Hardware load balncing require support -from hardware like Flow Director for steering of packets to application through -hardware queues. - -The Software Load balancer is also supported if hardware loadbalancing can't be -used for any reason. The TXRX along with LOADB pipeline provides support for -software load balancing by distributing the flows to Multiple vACL worker -threads. -Loadbalancer (HW or SW) distributes traffic based on the 5 tuple (src addr, src -port, dest addr, dest port and protocol) applying an XOR logic distributing to -active worker threads, thereby maintaining an affinity of flows to worker -threads. - ---------------------------- -vACL Pipeline ---------------------------- -The vACL performs the rule-based packet filtering. - -vACL Topology ------------------------- - -:: - - IXIA(Port 0)-->(Port 0)VNF(Port 1)-->(Port 1) IXIA - operation: - - Egress --> The packets sent out from ixia(port 0) will be sent through ACL to ixia(port 1). - - Igress --> The packets sent out from ixia(port 1) will be sent through ACL to ixia(port 0). - -vACL Topology (L4REPLAY) ------------------------------------- - -:: - - IXIA(Port 0)-->(Port 0)VNF(Port 1)-->(Port 0)L4REPLAY - - operation: - - Egress --> The packets sent out from ixia will pass through vACL 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/vACL/INSTALL.rst for installation, configuration, compilation -and execution. diff --git a/docs/testing/user/userguide/vACL/RELEASE_NOTES.rst b/docs/testing/user/userguide/vACL/RELEASE_NOTES.rst deleted file mode 100644 index c947a371..00000000 --- a/docs/testing/user/userguide/vACL/RELEASE_NOTES.rst +++ /dev/null @@ -1,81 +0,0 @@ -..

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 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.

The -firewall performs Dynamic Packet Filtering. This involves keeping track of the -state of Layer 4 (Transport)traffic,by examining both incoming and outgoing -packets over time. Packets which don't fall within expected parameters given -the state of the connection are discarded. The Dynamic Packet Filtering will -be performed by Connection Tracking component, similar to that supported in -linux. The firewall also supports Access Controlled List(ACL) for rule based -policy enforcement. Firewall is built on top of DPDK and uses the packet library. - ----------- -About DPDK ----------- -The DPDK IP Pipeline Framework provides a set of libraries to build a pipeline -application. In this document, vFW will be explained in detail with its own -building blocks. - -This document assumes the reader possesses the knowledge of DPDK concepts and -packet framework.

There will be one -entry in the hash table for each connection. The hash key will be based on source -address/port,destination address/port, and protocol of a packet. The hash key -will be processed to allow a single entry to be used, regardless of which -direction the packet is flowing (thus changing the source and destination). -The ACL is implemented as libray stattically linked to vFW, which is used for -used for rule based packet filtering. - -TCP connections and UDP pseudo connections will be tracked separately even if -theaddresses and ports are identical. Including the protocol in the hash key -will ensure this. - -The Input FIFO contains all the incoming packets for vFW filtering. The vFW -Filter has no dependency on which component has written to the Input FIFO. -Packets will be dequeued from the FIFO in bulk for processing by the vFW. -Packets will be enqueued to the output FIFO. -The software or hardware loadbalancing can be used for traffic distribution -across multiple worker threads. The hardware loadbalancing require ethernet -flow director support from hardware (eg. Fortville x710 NIC card). -The Input and Output FIFOs will be implemented using DPDK Ring Buffers. - -Components of vFW -==================== - -In vFW, each component is constructed using packet framework pipelines. -It includes Rx and Tx Driver, Master pipeline, load balancer pipeline and -vfw worker pipeline components. 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 LoadBalancer(LB) thread. -Transimit takes packets from worker threads in a dedicated ring and sent to -hardware queue. - ---------------------------- -Master Pipeline ---------------------------- -The Master component is part of all the IP Pipeline applications. This component -does not process any packets and should configure with Core 0, to allow -other cores for processing of the traffic. This component is responsible for -1. Initializing each component of the Pipeline application in different threads -2. Providing CLI shell for the user control/debug -3. Propagating the commands from user to the corresponding components - ------------------- -ARPICMP Pipeline ------------------- -This pipeline processes the APRICMP packets. - ---------------- -TXRX Pipelines ---------------- -The TXTX and RXRX pipelines are pass through pipelines to forward both ingress -and egress traffic to Loadbalancer. This is required when the Software -Loadbalancer is used. - ----------------------- -Load Balancer Pipeline ----------------------- -The vFW support both hardware and software balancing for load balancing of -traffic across multiple VNF threads. The Hardware load balancing require support -from hardware like Flow Director for steering of packets to application through -hardware queues. - -The Software Load balancer is also supported if hardware load balancing can't be -used for any reason. The TXRX along with LOADB pipeline provides support for -software load balancing by distributing the flows to Multiple vFW worker -threads. -Loadbalancer (HW or SW) distributes traffic based on the 5 tuple (src addr, src -port, dest addr, dest port and protocol) applying an XOR logic distributing to -active worker threads, thereby maintaining an affinity of flows to worker -threads. - ---------------- -vFW Pipeline ---------------- -The vFW performs the basic packet filtering and will drop the invalid and -malformed packets.The Dynamic packet filtering done using the connection tracker -library. The packets are processed in bulk and Hash table is used to maintain -the connection details. -Every TCP/UDP packets are passed through connection tracker library for valid -connection. The ACL library integrated to firewall provide rule based filtering. - ------------------------- -vFW Topology ------------------------- - -:: - - IXIA(Port 0)-->(Port 0)VNF(Port 1)-->(Port 1) IXIA - operation: - Egress --> The packets sent out from ixia(port 0) will be Firewalled to ixia(port 1). - Igress --> The packets sent out from ixia(port 1) will be Firewalled to ixia(port 0). - ------------------------------------- -vFW Topology (L4REPLAY) ------------------------------------- - -:: - - IXIA(Port 0)-->(Port 0)VNF(Port 1)-->(Port 0)L4REPLAY - operation: - Egress --> The packets sent out from ixia will pass through vFW 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/vFW/INSTALL.rst for installation, configuration, -compilation and execution. diff --git a/docs/testing/user/userguide/vFW/RELEASE_NOTES.rst b/docs/testing/user/userguide/vFW/RELEASE_NOTES.rst deleted file mode 100644 index 540f671d..00000000 --- a/docs/testing/user/userguide/vFW/RELEASE_NOTES.rst +++ /dev/null @@ -1,92 +0,0 @@ -..
