2020-09-21Added support for reporting packet (mis)order.Xavier Simonart1-2/+37
The "Latency" screen has been updated with 3 columns: - mis-ordered Count the number of mis-ordered packets. - extent: Gives an indication of how mis-ordered the packets are. Receiving packet "x - 5" after receiving packet "x" will cause an extent of 5. - duplicate: Count number of duplicate packets. Following commands have been added for the impair mode: - proba no drop: replaces the former "probability" command. Percentage of forwarded packets. So 99.5 means 0.5% of packet drop. - proba delay Percentage of delayed packets for the impair mode. - proba duplicate Percentage of duplicate packets. Similar parameters are supported within the config files: - proba no drop - proba delay - proba duplicate Note: it is recommanded to use the signature when measuring packet misorder, as otherwise unexpected packet would cause miscounts.

2020-08-18Add all_rx_queues port flag to use all rx queuesLuc Provoost1-0/+7
In the port section of the PROX configuration file, a new parameter can be added: all_rx_queues. The default is all_rx_queues=no. When the rx port variable of a task is listing a port name, all rx queues will be used when the all_rx_queues is set for that port. If not set, only one queue of that port will be "consumed", each time the port is referenced in the rx port variable. When the all_rx_queues is set for a port, you should NOT reference that port more than once in the rx port variables.

2020-05-29VLAN support with vdev devices + few other changesXavier Simonart1-2/+10
- vdev devices now support VLAN. - kernel tap device can be configured with a netmask (/24 was always used in previous version). - when sending a (fake) packet to the kernel, this packet will now not be routed by the kernel (i.e. it will leave through the interface configured by PROX). This might change in the futture when PROX supports multiple VLANs per port. But today it prevents ARP being sent on management interfaces. - Log error in case kernel unable to send packet. - Added support for comments (';') in lua sections. - Prevent duplication of local_ipv4 - should now be configured in port section local_ipv4 in core section still supported Change-Id: I8f9a40fe6ad6f3013ff91b58b44627c7f34081e6 Signed-off-by: Xavier Simonart <xavier.simonart@intel.com>
2020-05-29Added initial support for NDP (IPv6)Xavier Simonart1-5/+54
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.

2020-05-29Added support for IMIX through config and command lineXavier Simonart1-0/+28
In Prox configuration IMIX can be specified using the following syntax: imix=pkt_size,pkt_size... Up to 127 different pkt sizes can be specified. Through command line, the following syntax can be used imix core_id task_id pkt_size,pkt_size... Up to 127 packet sizes can be specified. When IMIX is enabled, PROX will loop through the list of packet sizes. PROX supports two different submodes to handle pcap files. In the 1st submode (default, no submode specified), timestamps from the pcap file are ignored. In this submode IMIX is supported as well and each packets in the pcap file will be generated with all IMIX sizes. In the second submode, called pcap in gen mode, packets are generated at the timestamp specified in the pcap file. This submode does not support IMIX.

2020-05-29Added support for secondary process & virtual devicesXavier Simonart1-2/+46
A virtual device can be created adding the following option on the eal field within the eal options section: --vdev=net_ring0 This will cause a new (virtual) dpdk port to be created. Such a device can then be used in a primary process as other DPDK devices i.e. a [port x] section must be defined in the configuration file For a secondary process, there is no need to add --vdev, but, of course --proc-type=secondary (or --proc-type=auto) must be set within the eal field. There are two ways to use such a virtual device in a secondary process 1) Using the DPDK port number. Note however that the DPDK port number of virtual devices in the secondary process might not start from 0 and might hence have to be guessed e.g. if using 2 virtual devices in primary process (--vdev=net_ring0 --vdev=net_ring1) the port_id will be 0 and 1 in primary process and 2 & 3 in secondary process. 2) Using the port name, as defined in --vdev in the primary process. In this way, no [port] section must be defined, and the virtual port names are directly used within the "rx port" and "tx port" configuration e.g.: rx port=net_ring0 tx port=net_ring1 Limitations =========== There seems to be a PROX leak causing DPDK port id to increase when restarting the secondary process (causing the secondary process configuration through port id more difficult). As the primary process configures the port (including the number of rx and tx queues) based on its config file, the secondary process can't setup its own queues. Simple configurations (such as using gen or lat in primary, and swap in secondary) work as PROX allocates a RX queue even in gen mode and a TX queue even in lat mode. Better configuration/support for secondary process should be designed. The use of dpdk port names is only supported by PROX within "rx port" and "tx port". It is not supported by other configuration fields such as "tx ports from routing table". The use of dpdk port names in "rx port" and "tx port" is limited to only 1 port.

2020-05-29Added initial VLAN support with vdev devicesXavier Simonart1-0/+3
For kernel supported devices, add for vlan tag support This can be configured through port parameter: vlan tag=<vlan tag> If this parameter is set, a vlan tagged interface is created on top of the tap device This is only supported for vdev tap devices When sending (untagged) packet to the tap device (through socket) the tap should react in sending tagged packet Note that receiving in L3 mode (w/o tap support) a tagged packet is not yet supported.

2020-05-29Add support for vdev tap devicesXavier Simonart1-1/+7
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...

2019-09-04Add heartbeat support (stop all cores in case of TCP socket issues)Xavier Simonart1-0/+3
"heartbeat timeout" (in second) can be specified as a global parameter in PROX config file. If set, a timer is started when the first command is received from the TCP socket. This timer is reset at each commands received through the TCP socket. If the timer expires, then - all cores are stopped - the TCP socket is closed, causing an error at client side. This feature helps in case a script starts PROX and the traffic generated through PROX causes issues to the control plane.

2018-05-25Increase default mbuf size and code simplification/cleanupXavier Simonart1-3/+5
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.

In addition, the rte_eth_dev_set_mtu is now set for all pmds. Finally, setting mbuf_size does not set MEMPOOL_F_NO_SPREAD anymore. This option was only used for pure debugging. Big packets can be received using two ways - Using multiple "small" mbufs, i.e. around 2K. This is the default. - Using one big mbuf holding the whole packet. This can be enabled by setting a parameter mbuf_size in the receiving core configuration Change-Id: Idd60ad31f41c89f9522dff4d894af2696b7a2ea1 Signed-off-by: Xavier Simonart <xavier.simonart@intel.com>

irq mode can be used to show how a core is interrupted by other tasks. This mode does not handle packets. It only loops reading tsc. When the difference between two consecutive calls to rdtsc() is high then it means the core was interrupted. This task implementes the display, so that we can see a histogram of interrupts as well as the maximum, per core. Command line is also supported, through "show irq buckets" (too show the intervals of each buckets, in micrcoseconds), and the stats command line (showing the number of items in each buckets and the max)..

2018-01-04Add config option to use port mac as src mac in l2fwd and swapXavier Simonart1-1/+1
L2fwd and swap has many options to set src mac. swap was supposed to support the ability to use port mac, but config file parsing was wrong. L2fwd was using port mac if a port was available and if src mac=packet or if there was no src mac in the config. Now l2fwd supports the following options - "src mac=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" => this mac address is used as src mac. - "src mac=packet" => the src mac is taken from the dst mac of the received packet. - "src mac=hw" => the src mac is taken from the mac address of the port, if there is a physical port. Error otherwise. - "src mac=no" => src mac kept untouched - No "src mac" => same as "src mac=hw" if there is a physical port and same as "src mac=packet" otherwise. Default is (no "src mac") hence the mac is taken from the tx port if there is one tx port and from the packet otherwise. swap support is similar, except that it does not support "src mac=no".

2017-11-15Add support for nop mode with l3 submodeXavier Simonart1-2/+4
The l3 submode was not supported in nop mode, as the nop mode uses some specific nop thread (and not generic). When L3 is specified, the nop mode must use the generic thread. In addition the l3 submode is implemented differently than other submodes. It is not supported through task_init structures (i.e. each task does not have to explicitely tell that it supports l3 submode). But this prevented to run both a nop with no submode and a nop with a l3 submode. Note that nop with l3 is usually not very useful - it handles arp (requests and response) but as nop, it does not swap IP addresses. So with a real switch, the packets transmitted will be received back... and l3 mode is usually mainly usefull when using a switch. However, there is at least one nop mode where l3 submode makes sense: when the nop does not transmit. In such cases, for instace used in conjunction with a gen l3, the nop receives all packets and forward the arp requests and responses to the master for handling.
