Following messages are now handled by PROX
- router_solicitation
- neighbour_solicitation
- router_advertisement
- neighbour_advertisement
The following parameters are supported (through the PROX config file)
- sub mode=ndp
This will enable handling of router and neighbour solicitation
and advertisement.
- local ipv6=xxxx:xxxx:xxxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx
This will configure the local IPv6 address of the port.
This parameter is optional. If not specified, the local IPv6
will be calculated from the EUI.
- global ipv6=xxxx:xxxx:xxxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx
This will configure the global IPv6 address of the port.
This parameter is optional. If not specified, the global IPv6
will be calculated from the EUI and the router prefix received
from the router.
- ipv6 router=yes
This will cause the core to behave as an IPv6 router
i.e. it will generate Router Advertisement messages
This is only useful in back to back cases, when no real
IPv6 router is present in the setup.
- router prefix=xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx
The router prefix usedin the router advertisement
The prefix will be used by the node to build an IPv6 global
address in cases none were configured.
"Unsollicited NA" parameter has been added within the core/task section.
If set to yes (Unsollicited NA=yes), then an unsollicited neighbour
Advertisement is sent at startup
A same core/task cannot support both l3 and ndp mode.
Those messages will be generated or handled when submode
is set to "ndp":
- neighbour sollicitation
- neighbour advertisement
- router sollicitation
- router advertisement
An example configuration is provided: config/ipv6.cfg in which
port 0 / core 1 plays the role of the generator and port 1 /
core 2 plays the role of the swap.

This commit adds support for the creation of tap devices.
To create a tap device, and associate it with a DPDK port,
add within the port section:
vdev=<tap_name>
local ipv4=<ip_assigned_to_port>
<tap_name> will appear as a kernel network device, with an IP <ip_assigned_to_port>
ARP packets received from the network on the DPDK interface will be forwarded to the kernel.
1st packet which needs to be generated to a new IP will cause an IP packet
to be sent to the kernel (using socket sendto) forcing the kernel to send an ARP_REQUEST.
In this commit, there is no notification from the kernel about ARP table changes.
This is subject to further commits.
Two config files, gen_tap.cfg and swap_tap.cfg have been created. They work one against each other.
*** Note however that they do not work if running within the same host
(with the port being connected back to back) ***
This is due to the fact that the kernel would bypass the ports and use local interface...

This commit prepares PROX for supporting changes from DPDK 19.08
Mainly, the "sed" listed below were run.
In addition,
- some forward definition have been removed,
- prox_compat.h has been updated
- prox_compat.h has been included where necessary.
Hence such a commit is rather easy to review and to reapply
on other branches if necessary.

A high number of RX descriptor can be helpful in avoiding
packet loss due to the core being interrupted.
This commit increases the default number of descriptors from 256 to 2K.
Those values are checked versus the minimum and maximum supported by the pmd.
Number of mbufs (mempool size) have been updated n config files to support this
default number of dsescriptors.
The number of descriptors can still be overwritten by the config file. However
those values must always remain within the limits reported by the pmd.

- When using "pcap file" argument in PROX config file in the gen mode
(and no submode), packets were truncated to 8 bytes (and a warning printed)
This has been fixed.
- "Set value" command was checking whether offset was within first 1518 bytes
unrespective to the mtu (e.g. jumbo packets). This has been fixed.
- There was a limit of 64K packets loaded from a pcap file (which could be
overwritten through PROX config). This limit has been removed - by default
all packets from pcap are loaded
- When pcap was loaded, memory was allocated to store the packet. However
just enough memory was allocated, so that there was no way to change (increase)
packet size through command line after that. Now memory is allocated to store
up to mtu size
- While "set value" command was acting on all packets, "pkt size" command
was only changing the first packet. This has now been changed and both commands
change all the packets.
- A few other minor cleanups.

Multicast can be enabled through configuration or through command line
- Through configuration
Add multicast=mcast_address (e.g. multicast=01:00:5e:01:02:03) in the port
section
- Through command line
run enable multicast port_id mcast_address (e.g. enable multicast 1 01:00:5e:01:02:03)
IGMP join message is sent unsollicited through command line:
join igmp core_id task_id ip (e.g. join igmp 1 0 224.1.1.3)
To enable swap answering IGMP Query (w/ IGMP Join)
- Through configuration
Add igmp ipv4=ip_address within the core/task section
- Through command line
join igmp core_id task_id ip (e.g. join igmp 1 0 224.1.1.3)
(this will 1st initiate an unsollicated join, then answer any subsequent query)
UDP/TCP packets received on a multicast address (224.0.0.0 => 239.255.255.255) are discarded
To stop sending responses to IGMP query:
leave igmp core_id task_id

mbuf size was setup to achieve the best performance i.e.
using the smallest mbuf and not segmenting packets.
However this resulted in complex code, much dependent of the way
the pmd are working e.g. a change(fix) in recent dpdk i40e
implementation caused a 1782 (=1518+8+256) bytes mbuf to be too
small to hold a 1518 bytes packets.
Hence this change simplifies the mbuf size selection at the price
of a potential decreases in performance - as more memory is now used.
Except if jumbo frames are used, the mbuf size will now be the same
for all modes. The packets will not be segmented except if jumbo
frames are enabled.
If jumbo frames are enabled, packets are by default segmented, except
if the mbuf size is configured big enough in the config file.

JIRA: SAMPLEVNF-55
PROX is a DPDK-based application implementing Telco use-cases such as
a simplified BRAS/BNG, light-weight AFTR... It also allows configuring
finer grained network functions like QoS, Routing, load-balancing...
(We are moving PROX version v039 to sampleVNF
